One guest commented that her glass never even reached half way before it was being refilled. That made me feel so glad I chose Iz. From the first time I spoke with Kay, I could tell she knew exactly what she was doing and knew all the right questions to ask.

“A group of us 4 ladies had so much fun at Parkside on 5th. We met Tim, the owner and he was delightful. The food and drinks were yummy and the atmosphere was perfect. I will be back. And oh, did I mention the candles? I bought several candles from Tim and they all smell delicious. I am a candle hoarder and these are the BEST. Thanks Tim for the cocktails and conversation!“

“Yesterday was my first time at Olexa’s and the experience was great. Our waitress was very helpful with her recommendations for a first-timer. She recommended the Smoked Turkey Sandwich with a side salad. It was delicious and came out quickly given there was a full house at lunchtime. We also had a slice of the quiche of the day which was delicious also. By the end of my meal, I was very full but of course, there’s always room for dessert. She raved about the cake and yes, I had a slice of the warm buttercream cake. It was so good. I’ve been raving about Olexa’s since yesterday and will return with family and friends.“

“Last two times we went in the host was extremely rude to us. The second time we walked out because there is really no need for the attitude. Have always enjoyed the food there but won’t be back until someone else is seating people politely.“

“The nicest owners and super patient when customizing orders for drinks. Great hours, location, and wonderful to have in the community.“

“Had such a lovely fellowship time with the saints“

“Just passing through and stopped for a quick lunch. Service was outstanding with great recommendations! The food was delicious and fresh. The Apple Havarti sandwich was incredible and Hot Ham and Swiss was just as good. We will come back anytime we are in the area!!“

“🧋 Great bubble tea. I recommend the Liquid Gold, came with smooth honey oolong tea with cream. My friend got the Flamingo, didn’t taste great - not recommended. The watermelon and passionfruit combo sounded promising but didn’t deliver.

💸 Atmosphere is great and the staff are very friendly. Yet prices are on the high side, especially since each topping adds quite a bit.“

“My favorite is the Mocha iced coffee, it gives me lots of energy to continue with my day!Also their workout group is fun and a great way to help me stay on track with my exercise!Also Their mega teas are great picker uppers in the middle of the day!!

Kid-friendliness: I was with my little girls and they loved their shakes! Wild berry and banana caramel are their favorites!“

“Love Clean Eatz. I stumbled across them on a Google search for healthy food establishments as I’m in the process of losing weight and they were one of the top choices to try. Since I tried them out, I have been coming back if I don’t bring a meal with me to work. Thus far have lost 20 pounds thanks to them and the great food they provide. Definitely recommend the chicken bacon ranch flatbread and the Mac n cheese. It is amazing!“

“Easy access on a corner, this small café is a hidden gem brimming with Southern hospitality. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel like family, greeting us with warm smiles and genuine kindness. The food was just as memorable—homestyle classics cooked to perfection, with fresh ingredients and rich flavors that reminded me of a southern, home-cooked meal. Whether you’re stopping by for breakfast or an affordable lunch, this charming spot is the perfect place to relax and savor great food in a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“The absolute best deli sandwiches in town! Family owned since the early 70’s and I’m pretty sure none of the recipes have changed!! Try the Rich man’s Poboy (you can thank me later)!!“

“Awesome addition to the Crestwood neighborhood!“
