“The drinks are on the pricier side but it's the type of establishment where it's so worth it. The food is fine for finger food and to have with your drink, the staff is sweet and attentive they really go above and beyond. The vibe is definitely classy, and relaxing. Live music nights are for a cute date idea.“

“We typically enjoy "The Twin". We really wish they'd increase their tap options and that they'd do something w those bathrooms. We've been going their since it was Chick & Judy's MINT CLUB. New owners have done a great job with the backyard. Nice to let kids run around a little bit.“

“Loved the beer! Would return for beer and cheese board. The peppercorn steak was liked by my husband who rated it a 5, while i gave it a 3.5. The portions are great. Pro tip, the dinner menu starts at 4 so we missed the lunch menu by a few minutes. It's inside a little strip center so not very visible from the street. Seems like not a lot of parking available.lovely mural.“

“We had lunch here Tuesday. The service was prompt, but she didn't hear my husband correctly. He ordered the Southwest Chicken Salad and she brought a chicken salad sandwich. I didn't even see that on the menu. I had the ham, brie and fig panini. He decided not to say anything. Both sandwiches were good. It would be nice if they had a choice other than chips or "you can buy a salad".UPDATE 5/20//23Tonight we attended a charity event for Community Hospice. The decorations were amazing. The food was all excellent. The Greek style salad was very flavorful and I especially liked the feta and olives. The main course beef was cooked to perfection and so tender. The couscous and carrot souffle were tasty sides. The Baklava was not as gooey as I'm used to, but still quite tasty. I've also been here for a couple other events since the original lunchroom and definitely give the 5 stars for events.“

“Third time I have been to this bar. I love that they open at 6AM-2AM. You know I have to mention as I always do when I visit a bar or restaurant...They absolutely serve my favorite PEANUT BUTTER SCREWBALL!! The morning girl is so sweet and very attentive to her customers. She takes time to get to know you. She pays attention and is ready when you need a refill. The two times I've seen her she was cleaning while she wasn't busy. The bar looks older but is cozy, comfortable and clean. Great music on the Touch Tunes jukebox! They have pool tables and a cozy bed for a sweet dog who belongs to a regular. I highly recommend at least in the early morning. I usually get there about 7:30 am. Good morning crowd. My only negative is the parking. There isn't too much but it wouldn't deter me from going.Parking: My only negative is the parking. There isn't too much but it wouldn't deter me from going.“

“It was a last-minute birthday gathering of about 12 of my friends and family. There are no reservations on the weekends, but they went above and beyond. You can tell the manager has her team working as a unit. They were able to create an area for my friends and family. Their service was quick, friendly, and consistent with each of their team members. Our server was very personable and friendly. For the most part, my party had never been there, but they also had a great experience. We will definitely be back! Great food, awesome selection, and wonderful atmosphere!“

“FIRST of all our service was over 5 stars, the whole staff was upbeat and friendly! My daughter and I were super indecisive so we ordered what our server Stephanie recommended. FROM the drinks to appetizers, I have to say were also over 5 stars! I’m a ppl person so when we walked in I can tell it was gona be an amazing experience. The Pork Belly Sliders were flavorful and not to thick, also the right amount of toppings inside, OHH and the cheese sticks, NOT mozzarella but CHEESE sticks were great, I personally will not do mozzarella sticks anywhere any more!!! And the drinks were not too strong or too sweet, your bartender ROCKS!!! Thanks Rivets, your boss should proud you all and himself for putting a great team together in a family friendly atmosphere! CHEERS!“

“I have stayed at the Doubletree Hilton a couple of times and have eaten here each time. The first time, I just had their Butternut squash soup. It had a coconut base and was amazing. I'm usually not the biggest fan of butternut squash soup, but theirs had so much flavor. My friend got the short ribs and said they were amazing. The second time I got their falafel wrap and fries, the fries were really good. The wrap was food but not the best, I am grateful for veggie options, though. My friend got the chicken, with polenta and carrots, and the chicken looked extremely juicy. They said it was delicious. Our server was kind, informative and helpful. I also had a blueberry lemonade mocktail it was good.“

The last time we stopped in was just to grocery shop after sushi so we weren't hungry but I guess we were thirsty We grabbed a couple brews and watched the game. Staff are super friendly and informative. Can't wait to stop in again to try more adult beverages.“

“Lovely little place had their breakfast burrito that was prefecture hand sized if you're on the go but still filling and very delicious. Also, they provide salsa AND bean dip with their chips, and I'm wondering why more places don't do that. If driving through and need something good, check it “

“Myself and four fiends were on a road trip down Hwy 99 and just happened upon George's as it popped up on our map app. What a welcome surprise it turned out to be. We ordered from the lunch menu because the regular looked to be too much. I had the Prime Rib Stacker sandwich. Price was very reasonable and the food was the bomb. Lynna was our waitress. She was very pleasant and took good care of us. She even offered to split our checks for us, which we were not really expecting. Big thumbs up.“
