Asked for nachos with no olives, had an entire cans worth of black olives hiding under a disturbing slathering of cheese paste... that covered the entire five inch high mound of taco salad that had been piled on Doritos? I?m disturbed. Read more

I felt so bad for the staff, when we went for lunch they were so busy, but they sure kept up! Food was fresh and delicious.

Very sweet staff and yummy food! Clean, bright, and bubbly environment.

Breakfast was a bust ???? three of us came in for a hearty meal and got burnt toast, raw hash brown, no avocado when asked... twice, no straws, forgotten pancake when it did show up it was white, my skillet was on a plate and had over easy eggs which wasnot at all what I wanted but since I wasn?t asked they just assumed those would suffice. Our friend didn?t get his meal until weasked for it about 20 min into our meal. When it did show it was cold at that point he said I don?t care I?m not coming back! Ivisited the storefront and was met by a rude gentleman when I asked him to talk to our waitress about a roll we needed at thetable for breakfast he did everything but! When he rang up my bill he added the roll I told him I wasn?t buying it and heinsisted I did explained to him that I was NOT paying for it! He didn?t listen and neither did our waitress. And we were theONLY people in the restaurant having breakfast so no excuse for it at all. We won?t be visiting anytime soon as we all agreed. Read more

Good food and fun service. Jason is excellent on the grill. Great options for vegetarian / vegan / gluten free. Love the... atmosphere. Go for the sauteed spinach! Read more

Stopped in on a recommendation from a friend. It did not disappoint! Such a great place in a smaller community. Special of the... night was a Baked Seafood Alfredo. It was soooo good, generous amount of shrimp, scallops, and crab, with a cheesy mozzarellalike top. It was stringy and cheesy goodness on top. The alfredo taste wasn't too much butter or garlic, tasted really good,and I'm always a fan since it's tend to be very heavy. Served with parmesan garlic bread. Soda was served with metal straws, Iunderstand why and that's a good thing, but just not my thing. Service was very friendly. We will be going back, it's def worththe drive! Read more
