Yesterday, I was astonished to get a latte there that surpassed the ones I had thought to be perfect (only 2 over the past 2 years). I don’t often treat myself to a Starbucks latte, so it was even more special to have gotten a latte that was over-the-top delicious. Many thanks to Emily. Starbucks: please clone her! On a scale of 1 to 10, I give Emily an 85 (yes, FAR off the scale). I think it not possible to get another latte better than the one I had yesterday.”

“It's a chain restaurant, folks, why are you reading reviews for it? If you want chain restaurant food and prices skedaddle down to beefs, otherwise go support local owned.

The staff here is another standout. Generally attentive in my experiences, kind, keep my drinks full.”

They asked if we wanted it now or to go. They ice cream was amazing so we were glad and good prices too. Definitely left a good impression for us and we will be back!”

“the Chinese food was excellent and would get the tacos again”

“Best pretzels I’ve ever had. Auntie Anne’s, Wetzel’s, I love you all but you’ll have to step aside. Firstly, pretzel bites amazing, liked the fork included. Perfect amount of salt and butter. Pretzel the same way. Pretzel Dog BEST ever. No uncooked dough or anything. Had to wait ~10 minutes for it. Worth the wait, had to get another. I’m deducting key points because of 1. Location 2. Online vs. In-Store menu. I was going to get an Italian Pretzel + Pretzel Sticks, both of which were not sold here yet displayed on the website. It’s fine because I still got food it’s just a bit inconvenient.

Parking: Use mall’s parking lot”

“Hibachi Buffet is a buffet with a good variety of items, tailoring to just about anyone who likes Chinese food. At the time of my visit, Hibachi was not an option but they did have the sushi bar open. The employees are friendly enough, and the atmosphere is above average.

Other than those positives, the water tasted like it was fresh out of the sink, the fountain Pepsi was flat and the food was just about average, with some select options shining above the others.

I would not expect to be blown away but it is about what you can expect from a run of the mill buffet, which isn't bad at all.”

“Loved it! Will go again. Prices have gone up but still fair. Clean. Got a lot of different item and they were all good. Best fried rice in the area for sure!”

Today I visited this location for breakfast. I like their croissants with bacon and egg

The quality of the food was good as usual however the time through the drive-through was ridiculously long today.

With only 4 vehicles in front of me so a total of 5 in the drive-through it took every bit of 20 minutes to get everyone taking care of

I usually visit a different Burger King so perhaps I have gotten used to a higher grade a service

8/4 the facility has been recently renovated and it looks absolutely spectacular.”
