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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Been coming here for years. The restrooms are always spotless, which is a detail I appreciate.

Cozy spot with real soul food vibes. The fried catfish was perfectly crispy and not greasy at all.

The staff was so kind about my allergy. They double-checked everything in the kitchen without making a fuss. Felt safe and cared for, which isn&#39;t always the case.

Rojo&#39;s got legit tacos. I&#39;m from Texas, so I&#39;m picky. The patio is a solid spot for a quick bite when it&#39;s chilly out. Got my food fast, which is key for me.

Server Darlona was pleasant and efficient. The fried chicken tenders were hot, crispy. Potato salad and baked beans as sides were solid. Peach cobbler was good, not too sweet. Service was quick, which worked for my lunch break.

The shrimp po&#39;boy was pretty good. Fresh bread and crispy shrimp, though the remoulade could have had a bit more kick.

The hibachi was my pick, and I loved how fresh the veggies were. You could really taste the quality in the ingredients. The staff was super busy but kept things moving smoothly. A solid spot for a healthy, flavorful 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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