“Sushi Shack is consistently the freshest and best sushi in the area. Definitely recommend the tuna popper. We had DJ as a server and he was great! Definitely added to our 5-star experience.”
“Stopped by Thursday night. They had a band playing outside. Called last minute to drink some wine. Super accommodating and pet friendly outside on their gorgeous patio. The wine was amazing, the menu even better! My husband and I looked at each other and said we could order one of each. He had the clam chowda (as he says being from Massachusetts) and I had the lamb chops. The soup was not lacking clams at all and the lamb was cooked to perfection. We will be back next time we are in town!”
“Brought our family for dinner and the food was extremely fresh! It’s been a while since I’ve seen the kids eat everything and eat that fast!! Will definitely come again!”
“Everything on the menu! Service is always great and the food is spot on and consistent!”

“40th birthday lunch and first time here. It DID not disappoint. Joel was our server and he explained the process, recommended the best drink, was attentive and helpful every step of the way. The ambiance was perfect and it was clean throughout. Prices are comparable to most KBBQ places. Get the lychee drink!”
“Great food , so many choices . It was a great value . All you can eat and drink. Alcohol and coke products are extra ( I didn't order either of those ) . Over all the service was outstanding. Food and drinks were delicious. 5 stars !”

“My friend and I had dinner last night and it was fabulous! I had the mango habanero shrimp tacos and they were delicious! Great service and I loved that the water glasses were real glass and not cheap plastic. It's the small things that matter too. Definitely recommend!”
“Lucky Fins Seafood Grill ⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently revisited Lucky Fins in Meridian. In the past, I’ve been to the original location, which is the one in Meridian, as well as the one in downtown Boise, which has since closed. There is also a location in Greeley, Colorado. We started with an appetizer of Kickin’ Shrimp ($15) - Crispy shrimp tossed in a sweet and spicy honey-chipotle sauce, served with a side of ranch and a lime wedge. Similar to Bonefish Grill’s Bang Bang Shrimp, but uniquely its own, this isn’t excellent appetizer! If you like spicy shrimp, it’s worth visiting for this dish alone. I ordered the Baja Fish Tacos ($15) - Tempura battered and fried Arctic cod with shredded cabbage, chipotle aïoli, pickled onions, cojita, and micro cilantro. Served with cilantro lime rice, lime wedges, and choice of salsa. The fish tacos were bland and flavorless. I didn’t realize until I started to write this review that they came with a choice of salsa, but I don’t think that would’ve made much of a difference. I liked the cilantro lime rice. MW ordered the Cedar Plank Salmon ($29) - Center cut, grilled Arctic salmon on Northwest Cedar plank, seasoned with Rocky Mountain meat and fish rub, loaded smashers, grilled asparagus, charred lemon. MW liked the salmon dish, but would opt for something a little more interesting next time. For dessert, we shared Bourbon Bread Pudding, which came topped with ice cream ($10). It was good. The ambience and service were excellent!”
“I would recommend Coffee Plant Repeat a million times! I am addicted to plants and they always have something new and something perfect for me to purchase. She even does these amazing Plant Parties after hours and they are incredible! We did one for my sister’s birthday and all of my kids came along and had a blast. Prices are great and the owner is super knowledgeable. If you haven’t been here already, this is a MUST SEE! 🪴”

“I wasn't sure what to expect when we first tried Dave's Hot Chicken. If you're looking for a range of hot chicken tenders and sandwiches, the food and service are really good. It's not crispy chicken, however. It's a rub, and it's delicious.
I got the #4 slider, which is plenty of food! I ordered the Reaper spice level, because that's how I roll, and it is not for those with weak taste buds. Thoroughly enjoyed it!”
“Ordered 2 different sushi burritos, the Volcano and the Rainbow and both were delicious! I think the only thing that this place could use would be a new look. From the outside and even a bit on the inside, it looks kinda shabby. I often forget about this spot due to how it can come across as looking closed.”
“A hidden treasure, excellent baked empanadas with a delicious and wide range of fillings. Nice wine and beer selection too. The atmosphere is relaxed and service excellent. Highly recommended and hope to see them prosper. Since the Kiwi shake and bake shut, I’ve felt a little lost.. hopefully we can watch rugby here too!”
“Amazing experience here. Ordered the Spicy Chicken and it came out amazing! Everything was super fresh and came out very quickly. All of the employees were awesome as well, they actually care about you and are happy to get you anything you need. Will definitely be coming back with friends!”
“We visited Margherita Pizza for the first time tonight. Seeing a wood fired oven in a pizza restaurant is a good first sign. A friendly, personable staff is the second. Tasting a fresh salad, refreshing Italian soda, and delicious pizza (in a style very similar to what we had in Italy) sealed the deal for us! They just gained two more loyal customers.”
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Tonight my husband and I, along with two of our friends, had our date nights here. We each had our own tables. During dinner my friends texted me saying, “This is one of the best meals we’ve ever had. We love this place and our waiter!”
Now onto our food — I ordered the calamari, and it was beautifully fried, crisp, and golden. It came with two sauces: the spicy one was divine, and the marinara gravy was absolutely fabulous. As an Italian New Yorker, I haven’t found gravy that good since moving here. It was a true taste of home.
I also ordered the linguine with clam sauce. The flavor was outstanding — juicy, briny, full of depth. The clam broth was so delicious my waiter even brought me a soup spoon because I couldn’t stop drinking it! The Caesar salad had the best homemade dressing — fresh and full of flavor.
Tonight was one of the best nights of my life. Truly spectacular. ✨
We wanna thank the manager Bryce, for this perfect night”
“It was our second visit. Once again, the service was great. Thank You Alyssa! Chicken tortilla soup was good. Steak fajitas were great! Atmosphere brings a sense of craftsmanship with stained glass lighting fixtures and intricate iron work. We will be back every time we are in town:)”
“We had a family dinner tonight celebrating 2 birthdays. It was very busy as usual but wanted to comment on our waitress Aliza. She was very attentive and gave great service even with a lot of large groups. This was especially deserving of recognition as she's is a new server. Thank you for taking care of us!”

“The chips and salsa, food and deep fried ice cream is AMAZING! The customer service at the Meridian location was EXCEPTIONAL!! The owner Speedy is so amazing! He was so friendly to my two year old son and made sure we had everything we needed. Our waiter Andres was so wonderful as well and was so attentive. I’m pregnant and was craving their salsa and he made sure my salsa cup was always full and that we were happy. The prices are so reasonable there; it’s definitely one of my favorite places to eat and I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with this place!”
“My husband and I could not for the life of us find a place to have dinner for New Year’s Eve that was new to us. We’re all about trying new places and as I was going through the list of what was open and what wasn’t I kept coming back to this one. I’m soooo glad we went to 127 Saloon. The food was absolutely the best! The staff was awesome! We didn’t have a reservation but were able to find a place at the bar, they let us know if we couldn’t find a seat to let them know and they would find us one. The place was CLEAN and light. I love it. 100/10 we’ll be back.”
“We came because Google and their website made it look like they have hibachi during the day, but was told when we got there it starts at 4. Disappointed, but undeterred, we stayed for sushi. Turns out we were very pleased. We had the sushi bridge and a sushi for one meal for three people and it was more than we could eat. We found the quality quite good as well.”
“Best of Meats ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Best of Meats aka BOM is a new meat-centric Boise-based food truck that serves Japanese charcoal grilled meat. They offer appetizers, mains, desserts and drinks. I visited for the first time on 11/12/20 and ordered a Grilled Platter. Platters come with two skewers of meat, seasoned rice, cabbage and house sauce. I wanted the beef tenderloin but they were out. I ordered one chicken thigh skewer and one pork tenderloin skewer ($13). That week, everyone who ordered a platter received a free Glazed Donut Ice Cream dessert. One of the owners heard me mention that I was bringing the food back to my office, he generously threw in two more skewers of meat for me to share with my coworkers. I and my three coworkers unanimously agreed BOM deserves a 5 star rating. I am no expert when it comes to Japanese charcoal grilled meat but the meat was high-quality, flavorful and tender. It was served on top of a generous bed of rice and cabbage with a delicious house sauce. The appetizers which consist of two meat skewers, would be perfect for those following a Keto or Paleo diet. Highly recommended!!!”
“El Gallo Giro has been a work lunch locale for years now. all the best people go :) Our family loves the food and atmosphere. It's our special taco place!”
“We love the Sidecar Bar!! Issac and Ness are the best mixologists around. Bonus feature is cuisine from Grant’s next door….best burger in town!”

I had the pleasure of being served by Lisa during my visit, and she was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our experience special. Not only did she take great care of us, but she even gave us fun stickers and walked us to our cars with a smile! It's rare to find such thoughtful and genuinely kind service. Thank you, Lisa, for making our day so much brighter! Highly recommend this place—especially if Lisa is your waitress!
Parking: so awesome because of Lisa
Kid-friendliness: people r so nice”
“We thought we were seasoned pros at handling takeout… until Los Betos humbled us. Jeff and I (Mike) both tried to one-hand our pristine white styrofoam carryout boxes, thinking we were in control. Big mistake. The burritos inside were not just food — they were gravitational anomalies. Heavy, delicious, planet-sized creations that nearly broke free from our grasp.
We apologize deeply for underestimating the sheer size and weight of these glorious portions. Lesson learned: at Los Betos, always use two hands when carrying out your burrito — anything less is a rookie mistake.
The burrito itself? Outrageous. Flavor fireworks. Portion perfection. Worth every ounce of embarrassment as we clutched those boxes like newborn babies on the way to the truck.
We survived, we laughed, and we will return — this time with a firm two-handed grip.”

“All around great place! Amazing food! Amazing staff! So friendly! Great prices! The Cuban grilled cheese is amazing, banana bread is amazing, soups are amazing! Best of all is it’s mostly gluten free. Which works for me!😁 definitely will be coming back! Hands down 10/10! If you haven’t been there you need to try it! What a hidden gem!”
“We enjoyed the small restaurant atmosphere where one can get to know the chefs (Mike, included). Food was excellent…have the Tempura green beans and then the Brutus Salad is excellent with chicken or salmon. The Atlantic salmon was grilled to perfection (medium with delicately medium seasoned saffron rice). Try the saffron infused Creme Brulet for dessert and enjoy live Jazz and after-dinner drinks at the Sidecar. However, make reservations if you want a table for dinner and after-dinner entertainment…take out available.”
“Houston TX Hot Chicken ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Houston TX Hot Chicken is a fast-casual restaurant that claims to offer “the freshest, healthiest and hottest Texas Hot Chicken sandwiches in the world.” Founded in 2020 by Houston Crosta and Edmond Barseghian, the original location is in Las Vegas, Nevada. Co-founder Barseghian states, “Our brand is Texas hot chicken – the sauce is sweeter and more savory than Nashville.” Despite the branding, this business has no connection to Texas; it is named after co-founder, Houston Crosta. KM and I visited Houston TX Hot Chicken in Meridian on 10/4/23, as part of a Yelp Elite event. We both got a complimentary Original Hot Chicken sandwich meal combo, plus a chicken tender and beverage of choice. The restaurant has high ceilings with exposed duct work, which gives it an industrial vibe. There are cool counter tops lit from beneath, which change color. There is a good amount of what appears to be light wood paneling along the walls, with some large, bold red images on part of a wall and the bathroom doors. The décor has a modern, youthful vibe. The combination of the most comfortable seating I’ve encountered in a fast/casual restaurant of it’s kind, indoor AND outdoor/patio dining, and great music played at a reasonable volume, gives the sense Houston TX Hot Chicken is trying to appear to a broader customer base than some of the other hot chicken joints I’ve visited locally, which is much appreciated. The service from start to end was EXCELLENT! The employees seemed genuinely happy to see us, and very sincere in their offer to answer questions etc. We also got to meet the GM Jason, who was very personable and a wealth of information. KM ordered the Strawberry Hibiscus House Lemonade, which you can upgrade to a Slushy for $1. I tried a taste. We both thought it was pretty good. I got Diet Pepsi. It had good carbonation. The Spice Levels from mildest to hottest are: No Spice, Honey Butter, Mild, Medium, Spicy, Liftoff, and Houston We Have a Problem. Ordering the latter requires you to sign a waiver. KM ordered a Mild Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Honey Butter chicken tender. I ordered a Medium Original Hot Chicken sandwich, and a Spicy chicken tender. There are 8 sauces to choose from, 4 of which are made in house daily. We got one of each of the ones made in house daily: House, Cheese, Cilantro, and Caesar. KM and I both LOVED our Original Hot Chicken sandwiches! KM doesn’t like spicy food as much as I do. She enjoyed both Mild and Honey Butter, though she didn’t feel she could really taste the Honey Butter flavoring in her tender. I loved both the Medium and Spicy, but next time I would get a Spicy sandwich and maybe try a Liftoff tender. The Halal chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. I don’t normally care for sweet sauces such as the House, but it paired perfectly with the Spicy flavor of my sandwich. The cole slaw was good. I really liked the Brioche bun; KM would have preferred an old-school Sesame Seed Hamburger Bun. The pickles were good. Each order included a container of House sauce. Houston TX Hot Chicken serves high quality Lamb Weston Concertina cut French fries. Concertina cut is “a modern take on classic crinkle cuts with deeper, crispier grooves and ridges. Crispy grooves have more edges that provide satisfying extra crunch. Thick cuts are sturdier and are less prone to breaking than thinner fries.” In my opinion, Lamb Weston French fries are the best premade fries you can buy, but they are hard to find. I appreciate that Houston TX Hot Chicken’s attention to detail regarding the use of high quality ingredients includes the type of chicken they use, as well as the quality of French fries they serve. The only thing I didn’t like about the fries is I think they are lightly seasoned with Honey Butter flavored spice. I like sweet flavors as part of a dessert, but I don’t care for them in an entrée. KM didn’t feel the fries were sweet. The average person may not. I’m just extra sensitive to sweet flavors in entrees. Next time, I would ask for the seasoning”
“We went in for lunch today I ordered chicken fried steak and eggs,my husband had a Ruben sandwich his came to him raw and my chicken fried steak was very greasy and the gravy was very runny, we have been there before and it was OK, but this time it was horrible we told the server how my husband's sandwich was raw and showed it to her she never tried to fix it for us to make it right or offer to take at least a percentage off our bill, we won't be going back...!”
“I spent years with a peruvian caretaker eating foods that you cant often find these days in our area. At a local food park, I found machu pichu and was immediately transported back to home. thanks <3”

“I have tried multiple things here from the burgers, croissant sandwiches, the long sandwiches, the hot dogs, the bubble waffles, the drinks, the desserts and many of their pasties and everything had been absolutely delicious. I look forward to taking my family here when they visit from out of town. The tropical crepe cake is one of my favorite things ever. I still have quite a bit of stuff to try and I'm so glad.”
“Came in on a Friday night at 8 PM and the place was packed. The service was quick and nice. The shrimp wontons were amazing. I think I could eat 1 million of them in one sitting. I got the creamy chicken Ramen and it was delicious overall and amazing Ramen restaurant in Meridian, Idaho!”
“Celebrating my mom's 70th birthday surrounded by family today was truly special. Instead of cooking, we chose to support a local caterer so we went with Goodwood and it was an excellent choice!
From our initial inquiry to the delivery, their service was top-notch. We indulged in: Spinach artichoke dip for an appetizer, Smoked prime rib and sweet chicken. Smashed potatoes with gravy, Caesar salad, and buttery rolls
Reasonably priced and more than enough food for our family gathering! Big thanks to Goodwood BBQ for helping us create beautiful memoriesl”

“I lived in New England for a long time and also parts of New York for a couple years, 42nd Street slices in downtown was great . I also had pizza from the oldest pizza joint in Connecticut. When I moved to Idaho I was worried about finding a NY style pizza that not only looked the part but tasted great as well......FUGET ABOUT IT, no need to look any further ! Jonny Bronx is like eating at home.”
“Got takeout for dinner tonight and it was wonderful and delicious! Husband got the gyro dinner and I ordered the falafel dinner. Everything came out fresh and perfect! The Greek salad is light and very refreshing. The rice was so very flavorful and left us wanting more. I’ve had Greek food in a lot of places and they are very good. The tzatziki was perfect accompaniment to each entree. Definitely check this place out!”
“It was our second visit. Once again, the service was great. Thank You Alyssa! Chicken tortilla soup was good. Steak fajitas were great! Atmosphere brings a sense of craftsmanship with stained glass lighting fixtures and intricate iron work. We will be back every time we are in town:)”
“Tonight was our first time at Izumi and we were celebrating our 25 year anniversary. Brad was our waiter/server and he was so helpful and friendly and Fernando was our cook and he was hilarious and so entertaining. The food was so tasty and there was so much of it! My boys were impressed with the sushi too. Everything was perfect and we really enjoyed our visit. We will definitely be back!”
“A luau in the deepest snow we've had since 2017?? Thankfully, it was held inside and we had Mimi Gerosin, Catering Manager, on our side. I contacted Mimi at the height of Goodwood's catering season in December to request a reservation for our January Christmas party. A luau sounded great in September!Mimi guided us through the whole process and with her many years of experience, made it seamless and easy. Incredibly, our food was delivered right on time despite the snowstorm and everything was perfect.Important tip: Please listen to Mimi's recommendations for food amounts! We ordered waaaay too much despite her gentle hints to the contrary. She's definitely the expert here.”

“Been four times in the past two months since discovering the place. Food is fantastic.... service is hit or miss. Just left after waiting five/six minutes without acknowledgement by any staff after being seated, watched others getting served almost immediately after being seated. Please work on this.”
“So I was out of the area for a conference. I went to a few local breweries, and one of them had this taco stand place. I am from Orange County California and we have a lot of taco places, but this place was awesome! Not just the food, but even few local breweries, and one of them had this taco stand place. I am from Orange County California and we have a lot of taco places, but this place was awesome! Not just the food, but even the couple people that were working making tacos, etc. Started talking to one guy. His name was Carlos and he actually is the one that started this business and makes all the food sauce is everything homemade. Coming from California where a lot of stuff is just premade you open a can this was awesome and so is the beard. Thank you Carlos for taking care of me and my friend, your tacos are awesome. Thank you heading back to California tomorrow.”
“while I love Uncle Bob's probably should have prepared for the Halloween rush better. I ordered at 2:30 for pick up at 5:15, got there and was told it would be an additional 20 to 30 minutes. I did feel bad for the staff because people were angry. Just a suggestion for next year!”
“Wonderful service, great food! We tried for the first time last week and were very pleased! The food was delicious, our server was very nice and took great care of us and even gave us a free dessert since it was our first visit. We will definitely go back again! Highly recommend!”
“Bluesky Bagels is hands down the BEST hidden gem in town. Not only are the bagels fresh, soft, and ridiculously delicious, but the prices are unbeatable — where else can you snag two whole bags for around $3.50? 🤯 Every time I walk in, the place smells like heaven, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and I leave wondering why I ever bought bagels anywhere else. Honestly, grocery store bagels don’t even compare — these taste like they were made with actual love. 🥯💙 If you haven’t been here yet, do yourself a favor: stop what you’re doing and go. Your mornings (and your toaster) will thank you.”
“I tried this place for the first time via Uber Eats or DoorDash on 10/25/24. It was so good my roommate and I went in person the next day, and then I ordered it online AGAIN on Sunday. Today 11/1 I went in person again for lunch. I got the limited time menu chicken pesto pizza (It was incredible) the salad bar & a drink. I tell everyone I don’t like pizza, but I can’t say that anymore. this place has converted me. I’m obsessed with their salad bar, they have everything I love. I’m upset that I’ve lived less than a mile away from here for over 2 and a half years and I’m just now trying them out. 10/10 I will recommend them to literally everyone”
“Probably my favorite spot in Meridian to have a drink. Their espresso martini is the best in the valley. And they make a fantastic old-fashioned.
Their flatbeds are fantastic, but I really love their Bolognese. Trust me on this, it’s an amazing Italian dish.
The staff here is great, I’ve gotten to know them well. They treat you well and it truly feels like friends.”
“I love this place at the Village at Meridian. We were at the movie theater and decided to get tickets for the 21+ section. I ordered a burger and fries and my friend ordered the macaroni and cheese balls. Everything was excellent but I forgot to take pictures of the food lol. Probably one of the best burgers I’ve had especially for just $11 with the fries. Our drinks were excellent and really inexpensive. I don’t remember what they were called, the server suggested something and that’s what we got.”
“I'm a Cajun from da mouth of the South (New Iberia, LA) and I approve of this place. We boil dem crustaceans in the seasoning, tho. Also, check out Louisiana Soul Bayou by the IMAX theater if you want legit Cajun food, made fresh by someone from my back of the woods!”
“Jakers Bar and Grill was an unexpected treasure! We enjoyed our entire visit! Our meals were delicious! We started with the Tender Steak Bites & Mushrooms, then each had a delicious salad… both were excellent! I enjoyed the Fish & Chips and my fiancée enjoyed the Coconut Shrimp with Garlic Mashed Potatoes. The Irish beer was most excellent! Our server, Ms. Sherry, did a wonderful job meeting our needs! We will definitely have to make another visit!”
“Just so everyone knows this is a side business INSIDE of Johnny Carino's. On their website it says, "Famous Dave’s menu items are being offered as part of Johnny Carino’s restaurant."I ended up getting the Georgia Chopped pork sandwich with a side salad and they were both pretty tasty.”
“Just went to Kona again today 7/27/22, this place is awesome- they have best gluten free items. my favorite salads- so YUM Ian ( our server) was superb everytime i am in Meridian i come to Kona”
“Great lunch menu, had the bow tie pasta with chicken and it was wonderful. Good and friendly service, and good prices.”
“I came in and made an order for 6 traditional and 6 boneless wings they gave me boneless but I didn't check my bag before I got back to the hospital room when I saw the mistake I called in and explained and asked for traditional. I came back for them and walked out the door, thought to check them just in case and they were wrong. So I turned around and explained to the girl that I asked for traditional and she rudely told me that's what I got and then when I said they were boneless she said that's what I asked for and then I kindly but firmly insisted that I didn't ask for boneless, I wanted traditional, she got mad and stormed off to the back and came back and yelled at me that the manager said if I wanted my wings I had to pay for them. I called my boyfriend very upset because this was just one of those things that was the last straw, my boyfriend is in the hospital, he almost died yesterday, and now he's admitted and getting yelled at over wings was just overwhelming. He called in and they finally gave me my correct wings but not without mean remarks before their kitchen doors even closed. I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience, but I'm just disappointed you guys had no kindness.”

“I just had to write a review to acknowledge the great lunch we recently had the pleasure of having at Marie Callender's in Meridian. My friend and I were on our way home (to Council) from Salt Lake City and were looking for somewhere to have a good lunch, well this was definitely the place to go! It was the best meal we had in the last 2 days and it didn't cost us an "arm and a leg". and we each had a slice of pie!!! When in this area next time this is where to go!! Great staff as well!!”
“Great chicken option. We came through the drive thru at 3pm when it wasn't too busy, so our order was made fresh. The chicken was lightly breaded and the quality of the chicken meat was excellent. I feel it was worth the wait to get the chicken made fresh. I don't know if they make it fresh every time, but I feel they should. I think most people, like me, would be willing to wait the extra few minutes for fresh chicken. I only left 4 stars for atmosphere, but that's only because I only came through Thre drive thru and didn't go into the building”

“I wasn't sure what to expect when we first tried Dave's Hot Chicken. If you're looking for a range of hot chicken tenders and sandwiches, the food and service are really good. It's not crispy chicken, however. It's a rub, and it's delicious.
I got the #4 slider, which is plenty of food! I ordered the Reaper spice level, because that's how I roll, and it is not for those with weak taste buds. Thoroughly enjoyed it!”
“The Wisconsin chain made it to Idaho. Good too! The place is clean as a whistle, the food is fairly priced, and salads are no-cost alternatives to fries. Make sure to order a frozen custard. The staff go out of their way to be friendly and helpful too. This place is a winner in every way, except that the area's traffic is terrible.
A second visit was enlightening. I was early for a lunch date. The manager let me have a solo cup for a drink while I waited. Then I skipped the cup when my lunch date showed up and we later ordered our meals. Very nice customer service.”

I had the pleasure of being served by Lisa during my visit, and she was absolutely amazing! From the moment we sat down, she was warm, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make our experience special. Not only did she take great care of us, but she even gave us fun stickers and walked us to our cars with a smile! It's rare to find such thoughtful and genuinely kind service. Thank you, Lisa, for making our day so much brighter! Highly recommend this place—especially if Lisa is your waitress!
Parking: so awesome because of Lisa
Kid-friendliness: people r so nice”
“I have tried multiple things here from the burgers, croissant sandwiches, the long sandwiches, the hot dogs, the bubble waffles, the drinks, the desserts and many of their pasties and everything had been absolutely delicious. I look forward to taking my family here when they visit from out of town. The tropical crepe cake is one of my favorite things ever. I still have quite a bit of stuff to try and I'm so glad.”
“Been four times in the past two months since discovering the place. Food is fantastic.... service is hit or miss. Just left after waiting five/six minutes without acknowledgement by any staff after being seated, watched others getting served almost immediately after being seated. Please work on this.”

“I never write reviews but this place deserves one! I stopped by for the first time today and can’t recommend this place enough. Not only is it cheaper than the other Herbalife locations in the area, but it also has the friendliest staff around. The short brunette gal (I believe her name is Hope) was so kind and helpful! She answered all of my millions of questions with a smile on her face and made recommendations according to my likes. She chatted with me the entire time and made my experience so pleasant and left me in a better mood. I will definitely be stopping by frequently and can’t wait to try more goodies!”
“We absolutely LOVE this place. The ambience is so refreshing. I feel like we step into a different world whenever we visit. The staff is always so helpful and friendly. They have a great variety of plants, and the boutique is so much fun. I always find something I just can’t live without. My teen daughter and I enjoy grabbing a drink from the coffee bar and wandering around. They even helped our daughter with a school assignment for her horticulture class. This place is a special retreat and I’m so glad they are in my neighborhood.”
“If you are a customer who has had a problem we sincerely apologize. Please call and speak to a manager about the situation. We are still working on training and get used to everything so please give us anoth try. We dont want to fail our customers. Please take into consideration that we are all human, and unfortunately we do sometimes mess up.This store is open 24 hours. We would love to see everyone, while they come and get some delicious food and outstanding customer service.”
