Been coming here for years. The chicken fried chicken is always a good bet. Comes with a big scoop of creamy mashed potatoes. Fills you up without breaking the bank.

Our server was so kind to pack up our leftovers. The seafood was really fresh, and the breading had a nice crunch. I did wish the chicken and gnocchi soup had a few more gnocchi pieces in it, but the broth was flavorful.

The veggie frittata was really good. I also loved the cozy, vintage feel of the place&mdash;those creaky floors add so much character.

Nice little spot. The staff are hearing impaired and super friendly, makes the vibe feel really welcoming. Ordering at the kiosk is easy.

The homemade sandwiches are so comforting. Just a heads up, it gets busy and you might have to wait a bit.

The churro cart was a fun touch for the kids. I appreciated that the churros were made fresh to order.

The banana pudding is the star here. Creamy, not too sweet, and the portion is generous enough to share. For the price, it&#39;s a solid dessert choice.

Service was quick and friendly even when they were slammed. The staff actually seemed like they wanted to be there, which was nice.

The cheese quesadillas were pretty good. Everything tasted fresh, and the service was decently quick. A solid lunch spot.

I keep coming back for the seafood. The salmon was so fresh, you could really taste the quality. I appreciate how they handle their ingredients. The service is always friendly, which is a plus. A solid spot when you&#39;re craving something simple and well-prepared.

First time here and the food came out steaming hot! The flavors were spot on, really enjoyed the whole meal. Just a solid, tasty experience.

Been coming here since I was a kid! The corned beef and cabbage is still my go-to. It&#39;s just the right spot to catch up with friends over a solid, familiar meal.

We spent $300.00 at this place.  It was the worst steaks ever.  We had seven people in our group.  Four adults and three children.  My husband and my oldest daughter ordered Ribeyes, they were mediocre.  Myself, my daughters boyfriend, our twins ordered Sirloins, medium well (a LITTLE pink).  It took almost an hour to receive our food.  We were all finished with our salads and waiting nearly 45 minutes for our steaks.  All four Sirloins had to be sent back.  They were so bloody.  When we finally got them back, after 30 minutes they were CHARRED!  Burnt to a crisp.  I called the manager over, short blonde and handed her my plate and my twin daughters plates. Told her there is no way we could eat them.  She asked if I wanted another steak.  I said no , we&rsquo;ve been here almost three hours.  It was the worst steak dinner EVER.  We will NEVER go back.  They didn&rsquo;t even offer to take the steaks we ordered and sent back off our check.  I&rsquo;ve never been so disappointed in a restaurant ever.  I really want a refund and I shouldn&rsquo;t of paid the check.

The popcorn here is fantastic. Fresh, lots of flavors. Prices have crept up a little, but it&#39;s still my go-to for a quick snack.

I always appreciate the warm rolls they bring out while you&#39;re waiting. They&#39;re actually pretty tasty and a nice way to start. It&#39;s a small thing, but it makes the wait feel shorter and adds a bit of value to the meal.

Dan&#39;s Burgers has that perfect old-school diner feel. The double cheeseburger with grilled jalape&ntilde;os was so juicy! It&#39;s a great spot to grab a casual bite with friends. The staff were super nice too.

Pie Society&#39;s got that local hangout feel. Walked in and the smell from the brick oven was great. Tried the San Martian pizza. The Mexican street corn and cilantro cream sauce combo is unique. For the size you get, the price is spot on.

Stopped in for a quick lunch on a road trip. The BLT was solid, bacon nice and crisp. My grilled cheese was good, but the quiche salad was a bit dry. The lemon bar at the end was the best part.

Solid beer selection, especially the German imports. Had a couple after a long workday, it&#39;s a convenient spot for that. Service was prompt, no fuss. Prices are reasonable for the area.

Convenient spot across from the university. The energy from the student crowd is fun, but it does get loud. Their house red was a surprisingly good match with the burger, cut right through the richness. Solid choice for a casual bite and a drink.

The espresso tonic was the real standout. They made it exactly how I asked, with a nice balance of the bitter espresso and the tonic&#39;s fizz. It was a simple request but they nailed it. That&#39;s what I come back for.

Natasha was a fantastic server, really attentive without being overbearing. She knew the menu well and her suggestions were spot on.

The chicken and waffles were solid. Chicken was hot and crispy, waffles light and fluffy. Just the right amount of sweetness.

The covered patio is a nice spot. It feels cozy and sheltered, perfect for when you want to be outside but not fully exposed. I had lunch there last week and it was just comfortable.

The Buddha bowl with coconut dressing was fresh, but the portion felt a bit small for the price. I was still a little hungry afterwards. They do have a nice mocktail list though.

The heated patio was a nice touch on a cool evening. Our kids enjoyed the little play area, so we could actually have a conversation. Food was decent, though a bit pricey for what it was.
