“10/27/22 I just ordered a Chef's salad from Mike's on Tillman Mill Road. This salad was so good, clean, fresh, well made and packed! It was well worth the price of $8.29 and really hit the spot for me. It is packed with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, carrots, cheese, purple cabbage, cucumbers, eggs, onions and I asked for the grilled ham with it. This is now going to be my go-to place for a great salad. The service is excellent too, they really seem to have a servant's heart. I highly recommend Mike's and if you haven't been by, you are missing a treat!”

“I picked up lunch here for the fam. Mom passed away on the 9th. We were all at her house going through her things and everyone was hungry. I wanted to buy local food instead of going to a big chain and Cafe 72 was close by, so Cafe 72 it was.
I called the order in for pickup and the voice on the other end was so polite and helpful. Not to mention it was a big order and we got everything we asked for.
The bacon cheeseburgers are big and delicious! May, lettuce, tomato ,bacon and cheese of course. The buns are heated on the grill which, to me, sets the whole burger off. We ordered three of those. My wife, my nieces boyfriend and I ordered them.
The crispitos are big and packed with beef. My little sister and brother-in-law ordered those. We asked for a side of cheese and sour cream and we got it.
My niece got the BLT with a side of mayo and her little boy got the kids corndog meal. He ate it up, too ?
The atmosphere was welcoming and as I looked around the dining room I saw some veterans sitting around eating, which I loved seeing. It gave me the feeling that this place is appreciative, thankful and respectful of our great country's veterans.
Cafe 72 has great food y'all. I didn't get any pictures this time, sorry. Go by and eat there. From looking at the online menu they have a lot of great food to choose from.
This order came out to around $47...to feed 7 people! You will not go to the big chain restaurants and feed that many people with such a small bill. I was amazed at this and I am so glad we chose Cafe 72 for lunch that day.”

“worked here before, you will wait over a hour for your food in busy times and the manager wont do anything for you unless the server specifically asks. for a comp. Tiffany will also lie to customers even when they complain about the temperature. the owner sets the temperature to 74, and no one can turn it down. but tiffaby will lie to customers saying she will. and will ask servers to lie for her.. not only that the kitchen often makes tables out of order. you can have tables get their food, and a older table is still waiting. when a situation like this happens good luck finding a manager like Tiffany to help you. she's off taking her breaks during busy times. also managers never give feedback or actually train people. I've literally had to ask managers for drinks because there were no bartenders and the manager takes so long to make the drink, I'm having customer rushing over to the bar to see what's going on. and get mad at me because a manager refuses to do their job right.”

“I go to China Dragon at least every week. I have been going there for many years. The food is great and the service is also great. If you like Asian food, try it I believe you will like it.
The prices are more than reasonable.”

“Bartender was awesome, Thanks Athena! Food was excellent! Highly recommend the Philly Cheesestake!!”
