Ordered the Chicken egg rolls very delicious, then got their coleslaw and Philly Cheese Steak sandwich very good and great flavor they have nice desserts. I got a season flavor mini cup of Pumpkin Mousse. You could take kids but make sure they have something to occupy them. They have a bar area and a room if you have a special thing , definitely planning on going back to try a few other dishes I seen people ordered. Great for a special occasion or date night”

I worked in food management for almost 10 years and I know how hard it can be to make the guest feel like you care , good days or not.

And should to everyone else who is lucky enough to dine with them. My food was quick, and fresh. The inside was clean and the lovely lady working the second window whom I didn’t get her name, I apologize for that, they all had a warm positive attitude.

What I was going to get was the grouper sandwich with bacon and cheese and a side of fries, but that would put me to sleep on a lunch break. What I did get was the kale and spinach supergreens salad with salmon, quinoa, cranberries, almonds, tomatoes and white balsamic dressing. I added bleu cheese crumbles and it was soooo good. I don't know what the heck kind of cherry tomatoes they use bit they were DELICIOUS. Everything chopped finely. Great salad.

“I ordered our Thanksgiving meal from 4 Rivers this year. Everything was ready to go when I arrived to pick it up, and they even loaded it in the car for me. The service was great, and the staff were friendly. The food was amazing! The reason I rated it a 4 instead of 5 is because of the way the food was packaged. I knew it would need to be re-heated, and they provided good instructions, but everything came in sealed plastic bags. I was expecting it to be in containers that could be placed directly in the oven, so at the last minute, I had to scrounge around & find 8 of my own Corning ware dishes, pots & pans for heating it all. Then I had to cut all the bags open & pour & squeeze the food out. It took a little more time & effort than I thought it would, but everyone enjoyed the food.”

“I was Amazed to see customers with dogs in an open restaurant where dishes are buffet style. It turned me off because dogs should not be in restaurants where people are dining. Dogs carry germs and other bacteria. This should not be allowed in Any restaurant even if they are service dogs. There should be limits placed on animals in food places. Don't 4get people dogs are not human. They are ANIMALS and they walk on dirty grounds with 4 feet. Also there are people that are allergic to dogs, afraid of dogs and can't be around them for medical purposes. Let's stop being selfish with animals. Just because you may love them others may not.
