Will be going back now I know where they are. We miss China Garden!!! But it’s on now for Cheng’s!!!”

He played the piano, juggled his balls, cooked, served us, gave good directions, helped us back out and in general was a nice new friend to meet from mainland China.

“This was a fun place. The food is good. My salad was delicious. I had tomato pie and it was good. The brussel sprouts were a bit tough but had some at another restaurant and they were the same.

Breakfast • $
“While looking for a new brunch spot, I came across this place and thought we'd give it a try. The food was amazing and they have great prices. The service was great. The coffee was self-serve and complimentary so I helped myself while waiting for the food. I ordered the Western bowl with grits. The food was brought out to us pretty quickly and it was hot and fresh.There isn't much parking so we almost ordered to go, but glad we hung around and found a spot. We will definitely be back.”
Barbecue
“Tried Smoke Bayou for the first time today. I ordered to go the 5 meat with Mac & cheese. This is the BEST bbq that we have ever eaten. The ribs and chicken fell off the bone. The brisket, pork and sausage were so flavorful and tender. I would give it 10 stars ⭐️ if I could!”

Bar & Grill • $$$
“I ordered Shrimp and Grits they were phenomenal the boudin balls crusted with crushed cracklin were a little mushy and were kind of sweet. The place was made to look high end but lacked some ambiance. The home made bread was fantastic but they only bring one and did not offer more unless you ask. The server otherwise was very attentive, I would go back again.”
Steak House • $$
“We love to eat at this Outback location because of the friendly staff! We had Renee, she was super attentive, made sure our drinks stayed full & even had complete patience with our three kids. That’s something we really appreciate because it can be stressful when we bring all of our kids to eat. We had a wonderful visit & our only complaint would be a server named Rodney. Renee was busy with another table so we asked him to check on something we hadn’t received yet & he literally rolled his eyes like we completely inconvenienced him even though he didn’t look busy at all. Even my oldest said “how rude” when he stomped off. Other than him, our experience was great! Hopefully he’s on a different shift the next time we decide to bring our kiddos with us!”

Pizza • $
“If you are a lover of Neopolitan-style pizza--and you should be--this is your place. The pies are perfection. The sauce is a bright, fresh, and simple, tasting of high-quality San Marzano tomatoes. Nothing more and nothing less, just as I like it. But the crust. The crust! Phenomenal. I have been advised that they sell their dough balls. I have not yet taken advantage, but I fully intend to, though I know my Ooni is a poor substitution for Rocca's beautiful oven. If you don't order the garlic knots, you are a fool. I have had similar at a well-known New Orleans establishment. These are better by far. You have not lived until you have had the whipped provolone. I only wish I could recreate myself as it sadly does not transport well. Their newest special is housemade pastrami on rye. I myself do not eat beef but my husband loves pastrami, so we dropped everything so he could try it without delay. We have visited New York City several times in the past couple of years. My husband has had some GOOD pastrami sandwiches. He says he likes Rocca's better. Better than Katz. Service is always lovely, ambiance is good. If you're going on a Friday or Saturday, make reservations. This is popular spot, and for good reason.”

“Easily the best salmon I've ever eaten. the server (I can't remember his name but he was a history teacher primarily) was amazing and very engaging with us. he even had no problem going back and forth between the kitchen and our table to ensure my dairy-free girlfriend could still have something delicious. truly a restaurant worth returning to if you are in the area.”

“Dustin was a great server.He took care of me and my family, he catered to our every need! He recommended what he thought would best fit our party of 8, which was the family special! Thank you Dustin!!!!”
Mexican • $$
“This is the best Mexican in Baton Rouge. They have the best salsa! It is a roasted salsa so less acidic, which is what I love about it. Also they have an awesome, creamy green salsa. The table side guac is great too. There's no question they have the best fajitas in Baton Rouge. The chicken is sliced thin and the flavor is just awesome. I don't usually go for steak fajitas but I do here because it's always tender rather than chewy like lots of other places. Homemade tortillas of course, and you see them being made as you walk in. Love this place and when I want good Mexican, it is always my first choice!”
American • $$$$
“The service was excellent! Super attentive wait staff. Cocktails were good but pretty pricey for what you receive. I’d probably stick to wine next time. Cool upscale vibe, the food was delicious. I didn’t love the grilled cheese dumplings, I thought the tomato soup was sweet but that’s definitely a personal preference! The sea bass was really amazing though, I’d go back and eat it in a minute!”

“Extremely rude workers. They delete comments if they don't like the review. We had a party of 10 and waited like they asked then they tried to seat us at a table for 6 people. Five people would be piled on top of each other on a booth. asked to add a table ( there were 3 empty tables right by us) they said no but we could wait an additional hour for a table. asked for manager and a girl comes out saying she is manager. No apologies no nothing. We did call ahead and were told no same day reservations but they had a big enough table to accommodate us. I have been reading reviews and there are a ton similar to our experience. It's starting to seem they do not want to accommodate large parties and try to make the experience so unbearable that they eventually leave. We ALWAYS tip over 25 percent even when service sucks. Their loss!!”

“So good! I got an americano coffee, beignet fingers and a set of full beignets and in the words of my two-year-old, “delicious!” I was impressed with how fresh my coffee tasted and you can’t go wrong with these beignets. Great place to find yourself in the mornings!”
Bistros • $$$
“Florida and her team did a Fantastic job for my friend Beverly's Birthday. I got the Taste of Louisiana and it was seasoned perfectly. The crab cake was delicious. I usually don't care for fried fish on a platter, but this fish was yummy. The brie and crab soup was excellent. I never ran dry on water. The staff is Wonderful, because they don't leave the empty plates on the table for you to mess up your clothes. Consistently Excellent. Highly recommend.”

Breakfast • $
“I ordered for the first time online today which was great. My expected pick up time was eight minutes after I ordered but unfortunately I didn’t get my order until 24 minutes after I ordered. I will say that I really do love waffle House. One of the few places that cook your food to order and they use real eggs, so I am OK waiting. I do feel that if there were more staff at this location that they would’ve been able to fulfill not only my order but the other customers in the restaurant quicker but I understand in this climate, it’s hard to find good people, thank you for my food. It was delicious.”

“A nice Subway thats been remodeled real well inside. Its great to come here if your waiting on a doctors apointment or if a family member or friend is in the emergency room and you wanna get something to eat. This location took a coupon that I had in the mail. Its open 24 hours which is great.”
Breakfast • $
“Food is exactly what youre expecting when you think of a breakfast joint from an 80s movie diner without the smoking. Im not saying this in a negative viewpoint. You will understand once you eat here. Food is actually really good. Theyve had the same cook there for decades. He does an amazing job. I highly recommend their breakfast bowls and their scramblers. If you are going to get their waffles, make sure you eat them there while theyre fresh. Because if you take it to go, by the time you make it home the texture is like the microwaved kind. It has nothing to do with the quality of the waffle itself, it has to do more with the container. It retains moisture from the steam and therefore causes soggyness.”

“Love Waffle House. I'm a regular. Tables were dirty(more than usual...), place was almost empty. Server had to leave, as I received my food, to get some inventory from another store... anyway, overall good, but try to clean as you go. It takes no time at all.Parking: Out front and on the sides. Parking lot shaped weird due to location. Shares with the Motel 6.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramps available, but not a lot of room for van accessible spots, so get there first or go when they're not busy”

Had marinated beef dish with vegetables, rice, plantains (fried egg on top) and fried potatoes. It was very good. I would try chicken dish next time, as this appears to be their specialty. The price was a bit steep for the beef entree, but seemed authentic and served with love! ♥️♥️”

Cut me off. Made rude facial expressions and Slick comments. As a person in the restaurant business. I know some days aren’t the best. Inside or out side of work. But No one deserves to be treated a certain way because it’s a “bad day” . It hasn’t just been 1 time either. Also seemed like the other employees are used to her behavior. Love the food.

“I finally made it back to Serop's after years. I suppose it's just not in the most convenient location in proximity to where I live. Nevertheless, I'd been seeing someone post delicious-looking dishes on social media and so I went back. The interior of the restaurant has not changed, possibly ever. This is not a bad thing, in fact, it's quite comfortable. The service was attentive and the food came out quickly. Now, for the food. I liked the salad. It's a great tangy dressing. I like good salad that isn't overly complicated. As someone who isn't a fan of tomatoes, I liked that it only had a tomato wedge and not chopped up tomatoes that I had to pick out. It was also a really good size salad. The chicken shawarma had good flavor, but it was a bit dry. The rice pilaf was standard fare. I LOVED the flavor and texture of the hummus. The pita was thin which was different. Next time I go, I will definitely get the hummus again and hope to try one of their special dishes.”
Mexican • $
“I went right before 3:00p.m. ordered the three piece meal and got it to go with no drink. I had my order and out the door with in five minutes. The chicken was good (not great but good). The chicken was hot and fresh off the grill. I got the rice and charro beans. Both was hot and fresh but lacking on spice. Now as for as service the gentleman that took my order was very nice but after I got in my truck and down the road I discovered that I had no utensils for the sides and no tortillas. Altogether food would be a 8/10 service would be 5/10”

“Food was delicious and the price was fair, but an option to order online, without raised prices, would have been nice.

“Most authentic Greek food in Baton Rouge. I haven't ever been to Greece, and I've only been to a couple Greek restaurants in BR, but I have a gut feeling that I'm right. Which is where Roman's amazing food is. In my gut. With my love for this restaurant. Also their pita is so fresh you could get 3rd degree burns on it. Absolutely great experience.”

“Got food to go, but went inside to order. Plenty of options for sauces and they can easily accommodate bun options as well. Also having a choice of edamame as a side was pretty awesome. Fries are the soft/greasy style, kind of like Five Guys. My son got the kids meal with a lettuce wrap. I got the chili burger which was pretty tasty. They have good shakes as well.Kid-friendliness: Kids meals that can be fully customized to the child's tastes.”

“A friend referred me to Stone and Cloth last year, when I told her I was looking for a new stone for my breakfast table. My mother and I walked into their shop pre-lockdown and were warmly welcomed by Kelly Kirby. She gave me great suggestions for a replacement stone and a list of the Stone Distributors in town to search for my desired slab. Her suggestion for the marble was spot on and that’s the one we selected for our breakfast table. Since I placed my order during the lockdown, installation was delayed until phase 2 would allow for work to commence. During the waiting period, Kelly worked with me regarding having my existing breakfast table stone retrofitted for one of my bathroom counters. They removed the existing sink and under-mounted a new one to freshen up bathroom. At the same time, we realized the remaining piece of the slab for the breakfast table would fit perfectly in a second bathroom and a new sink under-mounted as well. We are very pleased with the excellent fabrication of all of the stone work and the installers had been polite, thorough and efficient. I highly recommend using Stone and Cloth for all of your building needs.”

“First-time here! Nice crowd for a Saturday with ideal weather. My main concern was the relatively small size of this space; the number of people made it almost impossible to safely distance from others. This place will need more space and outdoor seating in order to comply with health safety precautions and be successful. Every table should have chairs — there were two or three tables with no chairs. I’d be embarrassed to have such a situation, and I’m pleased another patron offered me a chair to enjoy my cappuccino treat.”

“This is BBQ as it should be. Made by a passionate guy who loves and knows BBQ. We travel a lot and tasted hundreds (not kidding) of BBQ joint and this on is up there with the best. Delicious, very moist and perfectly cooked brisket. Fall of the bone (just enough!!!!) back ribs. Great spice rub. First time having turkey wings. Will definitely try that at home. Also he make beef rib strips..... If there is something between brisket and beef jerky, this would be it. Keith is a passionate pit master who makes awesome BBQ. You definitely have to try it.”

I’m not big on loaded teas but they have a great selection of those as well.Happy I found this place and will definitely be back. The owners are kind and friendly. This morning I went to two other stores looking for a meal replacement shake with protein and caffeine, they were both closed despite saying open on Google which I think is very bad practice. Go check out this little gem!”

The location has a lot of seating.The music was a little bit loud, but that tends to go with the atmosphere.We had, several appetizers and all were tasty. Our group especially liked the grilled alligator.I ordered the catfish with crawfish etouffee. It was a lot but it was soooo tasty.Our server was prompt and attentive to our group.”

“How sad - DO NOT order delivery from this location. I am visiting and love door-dash for moments like this. My order WAS NOT complete - the $8 cheesecake was NOT included, nor were there napkins or plastic ware or paper plate - so I had to resort to eating out of the bag. After waiting 45 minutes for the manager to call back to merely resolve the order, I had no resolution. Now - the restaurant will not answer my phone number. Food was fine - yet part of the 'atmosphere' of enjoying the popular shrimp boil is having everything you paid for, and utensils to enjoy it!”

I usually don't care for fried fish on a platter, but this fish was yummy. The brie and crab soup was excellent. I never ran dry on water. The staff is Wonderful, because they don't leave the empty plates on the table for you to mess up your clothes. Consistently Excellent. Highly recommend.”

“Extremely rude workers. They delete comments if they don't like the review. We had a party of 10 and waited like they asked then they tried to seat us at a table for 6 people. Five people would be piled on top of each other on a booth. asked to add a table ( there were 3 empty tables right by us) they said no but we could wait an additional hour for a table. asked for manager and a girl comes out saying she is manager. No apologies no nothing. We did call ahead and were told no same day reservations but they had a big enough table to accommodate us. I have been reading reviews and there are a ton similar to our experience. It's starting to seem they do not want to accommodate large parties and try to make the experience so unbearable that they eventually leave. We ALWAYS tip over 25 percent even when service sucks. Their loss!!”

Seafood • $$
“Oh man, this is place is dangerous. Best seafood I've ever had, not just in Louisiana, but in my entire life. Freshness is one thing but that flavor cannot be beat. We went with our server's recommendations of the various daily specials and each entree knocked it out of the park. I genuinely cannot understand how something can be this good. A real gem in Baton Rouge. We contemplated coming back a second time during our very short trip because we feared nothing would live up to it- obviously untrue, such amazing food all around in the South - but an absolute must for anyone visiting the area.”
Mexican • $$
“I get take out regularly. Occasionally, I use a delivery service but mostly I call myself and order from them. Some rake pit services don't have their hours and days closed set right. The employees are always friendly, and the 1 time out of 100, my food was wrong. The manager corrected it and handled it with respect, and in a way, I would have. Also, depending on the direction you are coming from, google may tell you to pass it up and come back around. The cut across that is open goes down the side street and google doesn't realize you can get in the shopping center from the side street.”

“Quiet Speakeasy Vibes ??Spent a weekend in Baton Rouge and decided to check this place out. We did not try or ask for food as we had dinner plans already. But the service was awesome! Sadly our bartender was moving on to another career but I will be back for sure.On the interior, you will find PLENTY of seating with chairs and couches to create little pockets of relax zones. There was even a back parlor for additional seating out of the main space. Dimly lit but not dark really gives that speakeasy vibe ?We tried the Champagne Cocktail and a French 75 to start. I have never tried a CC, but it’s essentially bitters, brandy, sugar cube and topped with champagne. Very fresh and I love a bubble ?! To close out, we got an Old Fashioned and a Dirty Martini ?”

I got the blueberry lemon drop and boy that was YUMMY! Like candy. I got 2, the second was more strong, but still delicious, probably my favorite one ever. For my meal, I got the French onion soup and holy moly.... That was so good. Husband got the ribeye and it had lots of fatty pieces left. We also got a side of the Brussels sprouts and they were good but strong! Like Italian dressing. To finish, we ordered the crème brulee and it was great!! The "ice cream" was like cream cheese. So good. Would 1000% recommend. got the Brussels sprouts as an ap”

Don’t pass up a chance to check them ”

Fantastic table side service, beautiful ambiance and excellent master chef food.”

“This place is such a cute place, its family run business. They are so friendly and welcoming, there’s a reason why their customers keep coming back. There crawfish was on fire, coming from Texas, Louisiana crawfish is much more spicier. I usually can’t handle spice much but I kept on eating more and more. And to be honest I think it cleared up part of my cold I was fighting too. But over all it was great, will have to stop by again when I’m going through Baton Rouge.”

“Love, Love LOVE this place. I have been twice. Food was amazing both times. I almost didn't come back a second time because the service was AWFUL. My server was very rude and kept questioning that I wanted the mole and came to explain it to me multiple times even though I told her I know what it is and I really enjoy the flavors. She was incredibly slow and my husband and I would have liked to order a second drink and dessert but chose to leave when we had the opportunity.Now the 2nd time I went, I sat at the bar. The bartenders were FANTASTIC. Very attentive, answered any questions and gave 5 ⭐ service. Food was equally delicious, portions are large so both times I had enough for lunch the next day which is always a fun added bonus.”

The staff, especially the owner and his wife, are so nice and we almost always get a little treat of lemon or other cake for FREE! When we go inside to eat, the food is just as good and fresh-made, we love the Alfredo and Chicken Parmesan and service is always great. Definitely a consistent and delicious gem in Central.Parking: Parking right out front.Kid-friendliness: Great place for families and good kid’s menu choices.”

Japanese • $$
“If you are looking for high-quality sushi look no further. I get umami about once a week. I really was not a person who liked raw sushi before but now I don’t want anything else. I’ve tried eating raw sushi from other places, but it’s just not the same freshness. For me personally, I go for the nichi roll and the spicy salmon roll adding salmon on top is super good. I also really love the seafood Ramen and the little chili oil you can get on the side. Although I normally like to split with somebody and get a roll in the side just for a little variety. They also have more specialty fish like uni and bluefin tuna which I have been wanting to try, but they are on the more expensive side but I love how they have variety of really expensive items that are more rare hard to get and items that you can afford on a budget. They really have something for everybody so I definitely recommend you check it out if you’re wanting fresh sushi.”

Bar • $$
“I went here on a Saturday night around 8:30pm. The atmosphere was inviting. As a woman, I was the only one as a paying customer besides one of the bartenders for a few minutes. So if you are a woman I do suggest if you don’t like to go to cigar lounges alone to bring a friend if you chose to sit at the bar. I sat at the bar and the male bartender had long brown hair had an attitude that was very offsetting. I don’t know if he was frustrated with his co-worker (who was a woman) or not but he was definitely p*ssed off with her clearly. I ordered my drink. He lightened up a bit but was still snarky. This night the bar was full and he was working it alone. There was cigar smoke in the air but not enough to flare your allergies or for it to stick to your clothing. I had shared a few conversations with folks and left about an hour later. I would go back, but I would probably visit Church hill first.”

“So yeah! We volunteered today at an event at the Hotel today. I had not eaten much of anything. I was told that the food here was good. And ya'll, THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!!!! I clearly forgot to take a picture of our foods. I asked the gentleman what would he recommend, he suggested the Louisiana chicken it came with roasted potatoes & broccoli. I also had a cup of gumbo, it had duck in it, I thought that it was beef. Lol, first time eating duck. It was delicious. Everything was absolutely DELICIOUS & WELL SEASONED, my hub had garlic parm chicken wings. For dessert we somewhat shared the bread pudding with vanilla bean ice cream on top. Oh oh oh and with my dish it also came with a corn dish. It was delicious! We've NEVER had food this tasty inside ANY hotel. Shout out to the Chefs who prepared the food & the servers, Topher & Blue. We definitely recommend this spot & we definitely will come back when we pull thru.Ya'll come & see.”

“I would give this restaurant 5 stars if the service matched the quality of the food. The food is great. The service is atrocious, incredibly slow and neglectful and deserves 1 star.

Seafood • $$
“The crawfish were huge. I got take out and found the specials on facebook (it was $8/lb and now it's around $5/lb). They were slightly overcooked and the meat stuck onto the shells a little. I got it with the garlic butter sauce on top and man was it salty. The corn was good and the potatoes were slightly softer than my liking. Everything was drenched in the sauce so it was very salty. Service took about 10 minutes and the ambiance was relaxed and looked like the inside of a shack. I would try it again but without the garlic butter on top.”
Sushi • $$
“The Service was great. With a reservation, we were seated immediately. Didn’t have a choice where to sit though. Our waiter was very friendly and the food came out quickly. The salmon sashimi was so thin that you could almost see through it. And it was priced per piece. Kind of disappointing. The bathroom there looked like it could be in a local truck stop. Not clean and needs updating. All in all, we had a great experience.”

Which is where Roman's amazing food is. In my gut. With my love for this restaurant. Also their pita is so fresh you could get 3rd degree burns on it. Absolutely great experience.”

“Got food to go, but went inside to order. Plenty of options for sauces and they can easily accommodate bun options as well. Also having a choice of edamame as a side was pretty awesome. Fries are the soft/greasy style, kind of like Five Guys. My son got the kids meal with a lettuce wrap. I got the chili burger which was pretty tasty. They have good shakes as well.Kid-friendliness: Kids meals that can be fully customized to the child's tastes.”

All they need is a chicken wing truck in the lot ir a taco truck next door and it'll be perfect .”

We had a wide variety of food, and everything was fantastic. It’s truly authentic and the customer service is out of this world. I highly recommend the shrimp and chive pot stickers if you go for dim sum. They were my favorite!”

“I’ve only visited Sushi Mass twice and the time gap between both visits is by years, but don’t let that say anything bad. Both times I’ve been I have loved the food and enjoyed myself. The atmosphere is amazing and calm, a perfect sit down lunch/dinner. I’d honestly let the time gap show that the quality has always been there and I think I’ve found my new favorite place. I sadly lost my mom in 2022 and she didn’t care for Japanese food but my dad does, we’ve been looking for places to eat other than our norm and they fit the bill. Literally! We had the all you can eat lunch menu and literally paid the same we would at a steakhouse or even Applebees! Can’t beat that plus the atmosphere and customer service outranks all in my opinion.”

Couldn’t reccomend this place more!”

“Costs are going retarded, this place is amazing, However, I give 4 star due to cost pushing 20 dollars for 6 nuggets and a 3 toasts. that and my hands are always drenched with oil bleeding through napkins I use to ring them out, other than how cool it would be for this company to invest and test the x waters with an air fry setup I'd say it's perfection. But it leaves me Ill feeling if I don't remove the oil when I eat more than 3 strips”

“I stopped by one morning spontaneously on my way to work, and it's now my go-to for a quick breakfast bite. The jalapeño cheese croissant is soo good and the cinnamon roll is huge and fluffy! Donuts are also great!”

“I've been a customer as far back as I can remember. I get doughnuts or breakfast here 3-4 mornings a week. As many times as I have visited whether I walked in and ordered to go, took advantage of the drive through or dined in you would think I have had at least 1 negative experience or complaint. I haven't, I can honestly say each and every time I've stopped at the Mary Lee's on O'Neal Lane it was a great experience. The doughnuts and other treats speak for themselves and the owners, employees and other patrons are always a pleasure to interact with.”

“I've been here a total of 3 times, and Bayou Affect doesn't disappoint! Tonight I'm having lamb chops for the 1st time. At first bite I'm mad I hadn't tried them sooner! These chops are now the standard for my life!”
Barbecue
“Tried Smoke Bayou for the first time today. I ordered to go the 5 meat with Mac & cheese. This is the BEST bbq that we have ever eaten. The ribs and chicken fell off the bone. The brisket, pork and sausage were so flavorful and tender. I would give it 10 stars ⭐️ if I could!”

“Great Hamburgers and PoBoys. We have tried them both and they are outstanding, flavorful and fully dressed to order. The star item for us, when in season, are the crawfish! Beyond doubt, the BEST in the entire Baton Rouge area. They are delicious and precisely cooked and spiced. We drive from Gonzales weekly to get their terrific crawfish. Mike and Jack are friendly hosts and put their customer's satisfaction first.”

“Don't let the long lines discourage you from stopping here. We used drive thru and our order was taken by an upbeat and nice young lady. She actually took the order standing outside at our car window. Happiness is contagious and it was such a great experience to be greeted with a smile and not order through a speaker/microphone and asked to repeat your order numerous times because they can't understand you. The food was hot, fresh, and delish! Total time from pulling into the parking lot to exiting with our food was less than 5 minutes! Mind you, this was their evening dinner rush hour, so that's quite impressive!!”

“This was a fun place. The food is good. My salad was delicious. I had tomato pie and it was good. The brussel sprouts were a bit tough but had some at another restaurant and they were the same. Would have liked to have some pie for dessert but was too full. Only complaint is it is loud at lunch time.”

She had us laughing and enjoying our day so much, we ended up hugging at the door. I thank God for her that day, she was just what I needed ?? ”

“As a first-timer @ TRH, I was impressed with the atmosphere, service, and food. The entire staff—especially Tre, our Roadie—are exceptional. It was a late celebration for my birthday (8/16/64) with my wife and we both enjoyed our meal. TRH has now become my “go to” for a great steak dinner!”

Coffee Shops
“Would be five stars except they don't offer their usual iced coffees or granitas like other locations. Otherwise very friendly staff, ample seating, good hot coffees, hot New Orleans style beignets, breakfast sandwiches. Basically a five star coffee spot, just have to dock them a star on gp for not being able to serve cold or blended drinks.”
Mexican
“Love the food at every izzo's and the central location does not disappoint at all. Try a combo burrito with queso, corn, and beans of your choice {I also like rice} a d jalapeños if I. A spicy mood. Great every time!Great for dine in and the foil wrapped burritos make it home almost as fresh as in house. And the drive thru. Makes take out fast and easy.Kid-friendliness: Kids menu availableWheelchair accessibility: Ramps and flat floors as well as tables with chairs that can be moved.”
