“Overall had a good experience. Food was good and service was great. Biggest complaint was I wanted to order off the kids menu as I’m a bariatric patient and I barely eat anything but I was informed I couldn’t order off the kids menu no exceptions. It’s stupid to write up your employees for letting your customers order what they ask for.“

“Wnever been here before and wasn't planning on going there, but it was close. Glad I tried it.The menu is largely breakfast fare, but salads, but lunch items such as sandwhiches and even chicken fried steak are available at all hours.I had a greek style omelet and my wife a good size chicken & bacon wrap.Both items were very good, and unlike many cafe type restaurants, not greasy and somewhat healthy.Serving sizes were large, but not overwhelming (both of us took some home). Atmosphere was casual and relaxed.I will definitely be going back!“

“A fantastic spot for all-day breakfast! I tried the Migas, and it was absolutely fabulous. The service was friendly and efficient. The only drawback was that they were cleaning the floors in the dining room (including around our table) while customers were eating. It would be preferable for them to do this after hours.“

“I was prepared to write an awesome review about RG's. So first, the service was perfect! Our waiter, unfortunately I don't remember his name, was very helpful & informative.My husband and I ordered chili cheese tots as an appetizer. Those were delicious and nice to share.I was disappointed that they didn't have diet coke..?! Only Coke Zero. Not the same. Diet Coke fans will understand. The sweet tea was decent, if it would've been cold.The onion rings are PERFECT! So good, I could've eaten just that!My husband got the Spicy Fried Pickles. I didn't care for them, but he enjoyed them.With all those sides, we saved our burgers to take home.My biggest complaint is that when we got home to eat our burgers, they were dry. I specifically asked about condiments, we both ordered our burgers with mayo. So, I had to add it myself. Also ordered onions and tomato that were not on my burger.All in all, it was good. I appreciate good service! I don't think the the waiter was the problem, maybe the kitchen. The food was good, just not how I ordered it.“

“The place is run by a bunch of teenagers, and that's ok they did a good job and were polite. However, the prices are a bit high for what you get. The large gorilla dilla isn't very large at all. I honestly thought they had my order wrong, but it wasn't. I would call it a chimp dilla at most. 16 dollars for one, that's with no drink or side. Now for that price you can go to a much more established restaurant and have a nice experience. The savings grace is that the food is actually good. Especially that green sauce. The hatch chilies were great, and the steak was tender, not burt or over salted like you would get at Chipotle.Parking: Right next to targetKid-friendliness: Kids menue“

“we loved everything about the tejano board, it was perfect! individually the corn salsa, sweet dilly pickles and pimento cheese were perfection alongside the corn bread. the jalapeño cheddar sausage was the star. It’s juicy and flavorful and didn’t overpower when combining with the other elements of the board. i had the tequila smash and a tequila espresso martini to drink while my partner had the opera house and burnt vanilla old fashioned; props to the bartender for fabulous drinks, and our server Faith for her friendly demeanor and beautiful presence. i’ll be dreaming of this place until i return again. 10/10 recommend!“

“A go to place for my wife and I as we can stay away from processed foods. Rotisserie chicken, so tender and juicy cooked just right. We have had the sides before our latest diet we are on and they are good as well. Only had one time when the twiced backed potatoes were not cooked well, sounds funny I know but I don't like my potatoes crunchy unless it is supposed to be a hash brown. Tea is fresh most of the time, sometimes bitter, not sure if it is set out too long or reused from day before. Could be just made too strong, not sure. But usually it is awesome.Probably to place your order on your way to location as it is not prepared quickly even though they have the chicken ready given they roast birds all day long and are visible, makes your mouth water. But not sure why it takes so long to process the order. You can wait 10-20 minutes at times.“

Our appetizer was the tempura sampler and the caprese salad. Both excellent choices. The atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing. Can't wait for the weather to get cooler so we can enjoy the amazing view on the patio. The sunset was stunning. Jeff was our server and he gets HIGH scores from us! Bravo!! We will be back ❤️“

“I want to start off by saying I have went the sidewalk cafe on multiple occasions and I loved it!! So much so that I wanted to host a birthday brunch there. Now getting accommodation for this place was easy and I loved that the owner Sam really worked with me!THIS IS IMPORTANT!!!Seeing as it was a big party I don’t blame the servers to much and honestly it was most definitely a communication issue with the server… but really almost took me and my party out was HOW RUDEEEE THE FOOD RUNNER WAS!! but my thing is if a staff member is going to be interacting with customers he needs to have some home training!! Or not say anything at all. Our actual servers were so nice!! I loved them so much but that food runner literally almost ruined the whole experience.“

On the other hand, I have been very frustrated as Wednesday is a big study day for me and they are now closed on Wednesday and Tuesday for some reason. You are losing many customers, as when I stopped by on Wednesday to find that you are closed, two other vehicles parked and walked up to the door and were not happy as well! What business closes in the middle of the week??Love the homemade chicken tenders!“

“I ordered on DoorDash. For one, the food arrived in 28 minutes and the food was the perfect temperature! This was my first time trying this place and I’m very pleasantly surprised! There’s so many amazing things on the menu, but I decided on the dusty burger and the kiddie grilled cheese. This burger is one of the best I have ever had. I love a well seasoned, juicy (but not toooo juicy) burger. My son is non verbal but he tore that sandwich up! Safe to say, we will be coming back regularly! Great job to the staff that was working on Memorial Day evening shift! Side notes I just checked the Facebook page and see it’s women owned! Not saying men don’t make great restaurant owners, but I love supporting women owned businesses.“
