Customer Reviews
The food was good. Chicken parm was a little dry and a little too much breading for my liking. Broccoli cheddar soup (soup of the day) was excellent. The girl who was running the takeout stand lost a star. When I asked for utensils she shrugged and said they don’t have any… She told me if I wanted utensils I can go buy them at the dollar store across the street. I didn’t get her name but she has a terrible attitude. Edit 3/6/25: Second negative experience with same hostess, Autumn. I’ll spare you the details. Buffalo wings were very dry and a 2 or 3 out of 10 spicy, average at best. Grilled chicken was also dry.
The food is amazing! I really appreciate that almost everything is made in-house — you can truly taste their passion for what they do. The ‘Soon to Be Famous Chicken Tenders’ is incredibly delicious; I honestly believe they will become famous because they’re so tender and juicy. And their desserts are amazing Definitely a must-try in the area!
7 of us went here for dinner last night. This is my personal opinion, and I am only speaking for myself and no one else. I personally would not recommend this restaurant nor will I go back. First, we walk in, walk past a full bar. I ordered a strawberry daiquiri. They don't do mixed/blended drinks. What bar doesn't do daiquiris. Second, the service was very slow and the environment was very loud. Third, I ordered a burger and told them I wanted it done medium. The burger come out overdone on the outside and medium rare in the middle. McDonalds burgers are better; it was that bad. Fourth, (about 6pm) we were ready to order dessert, and they were nearly out of everything. My brother-in-law ordered the same dessert I did, and he wasn't able to get it because they were out. My in-laws weren't
We Went for dinner. We were sat quickly and then the waitress took our drink order very quickly. The service was excellent, 5 stars for sure. We ordered the shrimp scampi, the chicken marsala and the kids chicken tenders. The pasta was mediocre, not a lot of flavor. The tails were left on the shrimp which isn't ideal in a pasta dish. Overall it was a good experience we will go back. Maybe we just won't get the pasta next time.
I don’t normally write reviews but felt this place could definitely use some criticism since the manager on duty didn’t care to hear it in person, instead had the waitress offer free dessert as a bandaid for not enjoying nor eating hardly any of our meals. We ordered 2 crocks of vegetarian chili and a crock of French onion soup to start. The vegetarian chili was canned tomato sauce based with no chili seasoning whatsoever, few black beans, and pretty much nothing else in it other than a few onions. The onions were not caramelized in the French onion soup and there was no broth, just a lightly onion flavored water base with melted cheese over the top. Honestly the worst soups we’ve ever had, could not choke either of them down - canned soup would've tasted gourmet over these. Next we ordere
