Customer Reviews
I always stop here on my way thru town! They have the absolute best chicken dumpling soup I have had in my travels! It is fantastic no matter what time of year!
My food burger was terrible. The burger, bacon, and cheese were scorched all around the outside. I broke off a bunch of the black and tried eating it but it was too burnt for me. The cook should never have sent it out to be served to a customer. It was disgusting and I couldn't get the taste out of my mouth. I like burnt brats and hot dogs, but not scorched like this burger was. My husband's burger was good, the fries were good, and the chicken dumpling soup my husband had was good too. It was just my burger that was bad. Loved our waitress. She apologized and didn't charge me for my meal.
Amazing plate. If you have an appetite, order the kilebasa. You wont be disappointed.
I visited on a busy Sunday morning, the place was full. Even though their was plenty of wait staff everybody seemed unusually overwhelmed. I noticed most of the tension was between the staff and one person. Didn't take long to figure out it was the owner. I manage a team and it took me 10 minutes to figure out this owner clearly doesn't know how to treat her people well. The whole experience was very distracting. I honestly had to console our waitress as she was holding back tears. I've never written a review of a restaurant that didn't spend the majority of the time critiquing the food but here we are. By the way the food was great. I don't know if I should tell you to pass on this place or go there to support the wait staff, you decide.
Went with a large group of adults and some kids, felt awkward being put directly in the middle of the restraunt even though there were tons of tables open in the back. People at the restraunt (both staff and guests) were upset because we were taking up the walkway and they were struggling to walk through, but we did not choose to sit here. Only one staff member had a good attitude but unfortunately she wasn’t the one helping us. We got some attitude for asking for a kids menu, even though we had 3 kids. I understand it’s a busy time of year but there is no need to get frustrated when we aren’t ready to order. Almost all food came cold, and someone actually choked on a hair baked into their dumpling. Heard them complaining through the restroom before leaving that we didn’t tip enough and w
