Despite staff being very busy, I still got my order in 15 min and one of the teens working at the register checked on me while I waited to see if I needed anything. I’ve always had excellent service. The margaritas are delicious as well!”

I will be returning!”

Food tastes great. Always have plenty of leftovers too.

The staff does a great job helping you get it in the car as well.”

“Huge shout out to Wasabi Johnston! My daughter wanted to go there for sushi for her bday dinner last night. I called ahead and asked if we could bring in a cake, etc... they were MORE than accommodating. They said whatever we needed! They kept it a secret until we finished our dinner. Brought out the cake, lit the candles, provided extra plates, a knife to cut it and were SO kind. Thank you guys all SO much! My daughter was thrilled (and embarrassed). Excellent dinner too!”

Sydney not only crafted delicious drinks, but her warm personality and professionalism really elevated the experience. I highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area—Sydney will make sure your time at the bar is unforgettable!"”

“Starbucks was handing out samples in the Ivy store while I was grocery shopping. They featured a brownie that was absolutely delicious. They also had an Irish Cream iced coffee. I usually don't do cold coffee drinks but that one blew me away. Now I'm a fan”

“Location is very clean, and the employees are friendly. I appreciate that when I order a drip coffee in store that I can get free refills. I also appreciate that no matter where I sit, I have access to an outlet so that I can get some schoolwork done. I am a non-traditional student who also works full-time, so I do schoolwork during non-typical times, and I am always looking for a place to do it.”

“Love it here, everyone that works here is so nice!”

“We had the wontons appetizer which was delicious and I loved the spicy buffalo wings and he loved the burnt ends”

“Warm and cozy, great 🍮!!!”

“I had lunch with a friend and had The BEST tenderloin ever! It fit a good sized bun and was thick and cooked to perfection. Onion rings were exactly how I like them. Going tomorrow for brunch. I will have the tenderloin. Great place!”

“This place is underrated!!! We have driven past this place for 3 years and decided to stop and try it tonight. You walk in and get a Texas BBQ feel. My husband got the Brisket Cheesesteak sandwich and described the meat as being Smokey and tender & the cheese sauce made it even better. I ordered Papa’s Boneless wings 1/2 dry rub & 1/2 cactus bobs house sauce. Both delicious! The wings were tender & not stringy like most boneless wings I’ve had. We also ordered the fried pickles which were outstanding and not like anything we have tried before. The pickles were speared and tasted like they were candied instead of the basic dill taste. Delicious!! We will be back.”

“I ordered the 3-finger combo and noticed the portions have gotten much smaller compared to a few months ago. The drive-thru service is fine, but the ventilation inside isn’t great—so be prepared for your clothes to smell if you decide to eat indoors.”
