★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Tra Brown · Dec 2025

The shrimp and crab linguine was flavorless. It had zero seasoning and the crab tastes like it came from a can that’s been sitting on a shelf for years. The shrimp and the sauce had absolutely no seasoning. They also sent some rubbery bread with it with no flavor as well. Not worth $10 and definitely not worth the $25 I paid. If you’re not going to fix it correctly then please take it off of the menu. This is a huge disappointment.

If their service and atmosphere has anything to do with their food, I DoorDash tonight. It was their Philly with french fries. I’m about 15 minutes away. I will tell you that I’ve been in the business for 30 years with my degree. I’ve lived from New York to North Carolina And this was the absolute best Philly I’ve had in the area. Never ordered from them but my normal place was closed. Fries were hot and crispy. The sandwich was well put together with care. The flavors and seasoning was amazing. I had to call the manager and let him know how proud I was of his team. When I have my hankering, I am definitely going to be calling them again or showing up. PS I’m not an influencer. I’m just a person that likes really good food. I also don’t do Google reviews typically. But always praise when t

First time here. Clean and calming, warm and inviting environment. Came during Christmas season and the place was decorated with stockings and Christmas music playing. We ordered a dozen garlic knots - the marinara dipping sauce and the knots were outstanding (had raw garlic cloves and lots of parsley, cooked perfectly with a crispy outside and doughy inside). We ordered the lasagna and the shrimp scampi, plenty of cheese with the lasagna (wow!!) and more raw garlic cloves and robust, decadent flavor with the shrimp scampi. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and I dipped the garlic knots in the sauce of the scampi - chef’s kiss! Skipped on dessert this time, but was told by the pleasant waiter (Chris B) that they do have some seasonal desserts in rotation, can call ahead and ask. The chocola

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Michael Anderson · Dec 2025

Nice atmosphere and had a great waiter. Cheese pizza was good. Chicken parm was not. Two good sized filets tasted good at first but seemed to be cooked in old grease and the sauce seemed like generic canned. Very small side of spaghetti. Bad value for $23. Overall, $50 before tip for a thin 14” cheese pizza, underwhelming parm and two sodas. Other stuff looks good so your mileage may vary.

★★★★★ 5.0 Frances Martin · Nov 2023

Ordered via Doordash, everything was correct, packaged with care, and absolutely YUMMY! I will definitely try out more of their menu again! Update 12/31/23 Everything I have ordered has been seasoned and cooked to perfection, bagged with care and special requests completed with care and compassion. This place is awesome, I would trust anything I order and am very impressed with the attention to detail they do right to your table or door. Good job guys!
