★★★☆☆ 3.0 Emily Steele · Jan 2026

Parking lot had a lot of trash. It's located, somewhat hidden, over in the corner of the Walmart shopping center. The restaurant smells of kitchen grime, old food spills, and wear/tear. It definitely needs a deep cleaning. Somewhat dark atmosphere when you enter. Staff was extremely casual and more interested in socializing amongst themselves than serving customers. Our waitress did not write our order down and she did get it wrong and then acted surprised when confronted about it. She quickly corrected it, however. We tried a mock cocktail and a prickly pear lemonade. Although both had pretty colors, both were over-flavored, overly sweet, and not worth the cost. The appetizer trio was a great deal, but everything else on the menu seemed slightly elevated in price for the type of atmosph

My son and I dined here Saturday, service,hustle,warm food/awful/awful/awefull. We ordered appetizer,food wasn't hot,quality of food, bla.we were there 25 minutes before our appetizer came out,and cool too. I asked for the bill and to go containers and we left. Atmosphere great but Noone was in a hustle except a young Caucasian brunette. Should have gone across the street.

Food and service were terrible. Didn’t take menus off tables and had to ask for napkins. Menus were also filthy. Booths dirty and was expensive. If i could give negative stars i would. Do not waste your money here. Never coming back.

Small town location and vibes. It is a welcome, nice setting/feel for a chain restaraunt. The staff are kind, interactive and diligent. The service was good and the food was good and nothing was wrong with our orders. We didn't have to wait for 30 minutes or more to be seated.

First time we have been in the Tappahonack area in a while and ate here with my family. My 2 year old grandson asked if they had apples since it was in their name. Told him no, but when the food came they ran over and got him one from the store with caramel dip. They made his day. The service was great and the food was really good.
