“Chicken & noodles special was delicious, according to my lunch date yesterday. I enjoyed a fabulous cheeseburger on a toasted bun, wide a side of very good onion rings, really good breading. Bonus that my gf hit for $101. on a machine while we waited. Lovely young gal tended our table, very personable and efficient. Second visit in a few months, we will definitely go again.“

“There probably was less than one chicken strip or half a chicken patty cut up for my pony shoe. I could have cooked a chicken patty myself. Zero flavor. Honestly use to love their food but the last couple trips have been disappointing.“

“Absolutely delicious sweet coffee with a creative huge variety of flavors and variety, fresh food made quick, and tasty looking pastry/muffins. Will definitely be coming back!!“

“My daughter and her husband are home for the Thanksgiving holiday, and after a 10 hour drive the hubbs wanted pancakes. So, I took them to the Williamsville Huddle House. When I say it was busy, I mean it was busy. From what I could tell, there was one young man busting his rear to keep the front of house running, while there was only one cook trying to crank out quality orders. I know a lot of folks who would've crumpled under the pressure, but these two just pushed. That being said, the tables hadn't been cleared or wiped down in a bit... how were they supposed to fit that in? So I moved all the empty plates, flatware, and glasses/cups to one table, and asked for a rag so I could wipe the tables. The guy at the front of the house was speechless, but handed me the rag and said thank you. My kids and I ordered and were served as quickly as they could get to our order. The food was hot and tasty, and we were completely satisfied. As we were clearing our table, and paying the bill, the guy at the front of the house was so thankful that we had been patient with them. He also thanked me again for stepping in and trying to help them keep up. I say all of this not to brag about doing a good deed, but rather to remind everyone that we are always so quick to get irritated when things aren't taken care of as quickly as we want, and most of the time we as a society become rude and nasty about it. This just makes the entire situation worse for the people who actually showed up to work and are working their rears off to make sure their customers are still taken care of. Be kind, especially this time of year. The two gentlemen who showed up and worked through the waitress and cooks just leaving did a phenomenal job, and they deserve more than just a pat on the back... their bosses need to compensate them for their professionalism and coolness under pressure. It's rare nowadays, and we don't recognize or reward it nearly enough.“

“The tonkotsu pork ramen was so good!“

“I was road tripping between Wisconsin and St. Louis and I decided to take a detour off the interstate to visit Mel-o-Cream. I'm a huge donut connoisseur, and I really enjoyed these. The creme filling was unlike any I've had before and was sweet and delicious. I would definitely consider stopping in again the next time I'm traveling.“
