Always get the shrimp fried rice here. It&rsquo;s fresh and they&rsquo;re cool about adding extra stuff if you ask. Just a solid, tasty spot.

The pulled pork sandwich was good, but what really stood out was the coleslaw. You could tell the cabbage and carrots were super fresh, not soggy at all. It had a nice, light dressing that balanced the richness of the pork perfectly.

Stopped in for a quick BBQ lunch. That pork sandwich with their signature sauce really hit the spot&mdash;perfectly messy and flavorful. The fried okra was super crispy and came out piping hot. Just a solid, no-fuss meal.

Sadie handled our big table like a pro. The carpaccio was spot on, and the pizza crust had that perfect crisp. Everything came out at a good pace, no small feat with a group our size.

Stopped in for a late snack. That coco rum old fashioned was so rich, really hit the spot. The whole place just felt cool and comfortable, you know? Love the mix of sofas and regular tables. Will be back for sure.

Burgers were excellent. Fries and onion rings a bit bland though. I&#39;d go back, maybe try the coleslaw next time.

The arancini with vodka sauce was a solid starter. Crispy exterior, creamy inside, well-seasoned. It set a good pace for the meal. Portion was decent for the price.

Been here a few times. Always something new on the menu. The butternut squash ravioli was really good. Pork chop was solid too, not too heavy. Service was on point.

John was super helpful with the menu. Got the special he suggested, and it was spot on. Nice day for the patio. Quick service for a lunch stop. Solid spot for a bite.

The gluten-free bread option is a huge plus for their sandwiches. Cook really pays attention to special requests.

Drive-thru was super fast. Food was hot and correct. Perfect for a quick lunch.

Been coming here for years. The portions are still huge, you won&#39;t leave hungry. Got the usual, the chicken parm, and it&#39;s always solid. Just a good, reliable spot in the neighborhood.

The Panang curry here is really nice. I appreciate that the spice level is just right, and the curry itself is thick and rich. There&#39;s a generous amount of chicken and fresh vegetables in it, which I always look for. A solid choice for a satisfying meal.

I was really impressed by how fresh the ingredients felt. The orange roll had such a bright, natural citrus flavor, and the strawberry cake tasted like real berries, not just syrup. Even the white chocolate mocha wasn&#39;t overly sweet. You can tell they care about quality.

The staff was really attentive about my gluten-free request. They double-checked everything and the food was still tasty. Felt taken care of.

Solid BBQ joint for a quick stop off the highway. The drive-thru is a lifesaver when you&#39;re road-weary. Got the brisket plate, and it hit the spot. The iced tea was surprisingly good&mdash;perfectly brewed and unsweetened, which is a nice change. A bit pricey for a roadside stop, but you&#39;re paying for the convenience.

Staff was super friendly and attentive. Felt like they actually cared, not just going through the motions. Made the whole visit really welcoming.

The portions are definitely generous for the price. I had the seven vegetable penne and it was pretty good, flavorful enough that I got a decent lunch out of the leftovers.

Lots of vegan choices here, which is nice. Tried the sampler platter and grape leaves. The baba ganoush had a good smoky kick to it. The decor is pretty eclectic, gives the place a cool feel.

Taco and Jesse were so friendly! The Soul Pie was sold out, but Taci&#39;s pizza recommendation was spot on.

The butternut squash soup was really nice and smooth. A bit pricey for a bowl, but it hit the spot on a cold day.

The staff here is always so on top of things, even when it&#39;s packed. Our server remembered we wanted extra napkins without us asking twice. Just makes the whole meal smoother.

Our server Ney was so nice and helped us pick the perfect dishes for our group. Made our dinner out with friends really easy and fun!

The salsa is legit. Got the Lord Have Mercy burrito with spicy tuna, and the salsa just made it. Fresh, a little kick. That combo hit the spot.

Great spot to catch the game with all the TVs. The grilled chicken salad was fresh and crisp, a nice healthy option.
