Food & wait staff were amazing!

Be prepared to wait a long time for your food. If you’re not willing to wait at least 30 mins after you put in your order, go somewhere else.

Ordered a turkey BLT...waited over 30 min past my friend getting her food AT THE SAME TABLE. The table was disgusting... And you have to PRE TIP. Save yourself the trouble and go else where. Friends hamburger was under cooked with wilted lettuce, tomato and onion.

Horrible experience that ruined our night!! We can hear for a simple dinner with a burger and a salad but we waited 50 minutes for 2 undercooked burgers (They were actually bloody) and to be told the salad couldn’t be made. My mom was at risk for health and this restaurant was a horrible experience!!!!

Our server was not great. I ordered a strawberry salad almost solely because I wanted goat cheese. It came without goat cheese. I asked about it and she shrugged and said they were out of it. No apology or offer for a substitute. Then, my husband ordered the crispy potatoes with his sandwich. The sandwich came out with the truffle fries because they were out of crispy potatoes. However, they still charged us for them although he didn’t want the truffle fries (we had ordered the fries for our app). The manager refused to take the side order of fries off our check. I also mentioned that I only ordered the salad for the cheese and the manager ignored my comment. Lastly, no one came up to us to ask if the food was prepared well and I never received a refill of the iced tea that I ordered even though it was empty for about 15 minutes. Overall, the food was good, but just a series of mistakes that will discourage me from coming back in the future.

Awful experience. Waited close to an HOUR and a HALF for our food - and it was breakfast meals which takes minutes to make an omelette. And the entire time our waiter was no where to be found - and never checked on us! We think they lost our order or forgot about us. He and the manager stated it was due to their fryer going out. If that was true, then why not come and share it with us as we could have said no worries on the taters - which are really like small boiled potatoes. When our food was finally served, only two out of three - with the third taking another 10 minutes - and having to inquire again. Leaving the two with our food either uncomfortable eating before she got her food - or waiting and our food getting cold. In addition, the taters were hard and not cooked all the way through. The manager comped the one persons omlette - that took even longer to receive and 20% off the bill. I would have expected our entire 3 breakfasts to be comped.In addition to the lack of service, extreme wait time for our food, just ok food, it was also cold and loud inside the restaurant.

The burrito was cold on the inside the food took an hour and the server came around once every thirty minutes. The food was flavorful but was cold almost like it was microwaved. At the end of our meal I had to go find the server so we could leave.

We had a great evening here! The food was very delicious. Reasonable portions. Our server was wonderful. They were very willing to ensure that my food was gluten-free. The alcoholic pink lemonade (I forget the actual name of the drink) was SO good. It was a little loud, but that didn't affect our enjoyment.

I only had tomato soup and a piece of my lady friend's grilled cheese. Both were very good. Service was great. It is a nice casual but quality feeling place. My recollection is, all the food here is pretty good. I would recommend it if you are looking for a quality reasonably inexpensive meal.

Service is the slowest thing on the planet. make sure you come ready with camping gear.Food isn’t bad, it’s p decent but the serving sizes were smaller than what I had hoped for the price.

Had lunch here today, around 12:30. Not much of a line to order food. Plenty of seats/tables to choose from. We waited 30 minutes for our food. Only had 2 people running dishes. Could see prepared plates just sitting on the expo line. When we got the food the server literally laid it on our table, said the dish name and left. My daughter did not get any ketchup for her fries. Her salmon burger was all breadcrumb and no salmon. And no guacamole which was supposed to be on it. There was never a server to reach out to and get ketchup or the guacamole. You could see there was manager type people just walking around in the background doing nothing. Not a great way to run a place. Won’t be back.
