“I’m not typically one to issue 5 star reviews. However, Buddy’z was on their A game on the night of 10/16/2025 and helped the wife and I celebrate our anniversary with two very tasty pizzas. We ordered a deep dish and a thin crust, both sausage, for delivery. Both pizzas were fantastic, had plenty of toppings, great taste, and they arrived quickly, despite having ordered a deep dish. It was actually a little nostalgic calling up a pizza place and placing an order. Not like these corporate pizza places that want everything done online via some Terminator on judgement day taking your order. Better yet? The woman who answered the phone knew what she was doing. I didn’t get the person on day 2 that was left alone on her own to hopefully survive.

I worked food service for almost 20 years in pizza so I know that everything just clicked last night. Now the only question that remains is consistency! Keep it up! We will see!

It all just gelled and it helped our anniversary be a great one.

Thanks buddyz. You’ll be seeing us again.“

“Such an awesome spot with incredible food and friendly service! If you haven’t tried their cheesecake of the day, you’re missing out—it’s always creative and absolutely delicious. I bake a lot of cheesecakes myself, and theirs never disappoints. Whether you’re craving a classic sandwich or one of their wild, over-the-top creations, Epic Deli always delivers.“

“I absolutdly love coming to Krystal Thai with my family. Every time we are there, we're greeted with very friendly faces and we've even made personal connections with some of the staff there. The food is wonderful every time we go, and they are very accommodating in both social and food-related situations. I highly recommend coming here with your family and friends, Krystal Thai has truly been a comforting and stable part of my life for many years.“

“I love a good burger. Ordered the Smash Burger special..
Tasted great, but the amount of sauce added in with the other ingredients, was impossible to pick up. 5 full napkins later..was a mess. Had to eat with fork😔 Waffle fries great!“

“i recently had a disappointing experience at a restaurant that I felt compelled to share. I went there for dinner with my fiancée, mother, and our two young kids, ages 3 and 1. Initially, the dinner was fantastic; we were enjoying our time together and the food was great. However, after about an hour and 20 minutes, we were abruptly told we had to leave because of other reservations. This was incredibly frustrating, especially since I still had my drink left, and we had just paid our tab As we were leaving, we encountered a manager and inquired about the situation. To our shock, she responded by asking if we knew how to read English, which felt incredibly rude and unprofessional. I pulled up my reservation online and nowhere does it say there was a time limit. To make matters worse, as we walked through the bar to exit, she followed my mother and physically shoved her three times. This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable in any establishment, and it left a sour taste in what could have been a lovely evening. We called the cops to make a report as the manager "lucy" (she told me this was her name) should never be able to touch a customer. Especially since we were not refusing to leave AND my kids were there to witness it all. In the car my son kept asking why the lady pushed my mom . This shouldn't be something I need to answer as it never should have happened. She tried telling the cops she did not have the "intent" to hurt but to get us out . Yet we were not even refusing to leave...only letting her know it was rude as we still had stuff that was unfinished that we paid for. I understand that restaurants have to manage reservations, but there are respectful ways to handle these situations. Additionally, she left it up to the waiter to tell us we had to leave . I won't be returning, and I hope this feedback helps others make an informed decision. And please , if you were in the bar / restaurant when this all happened , speak up on how wrong it was of her to push someone like that.“

“Was in the area visiting from Chicago and my vegan friend suggested we go there for lunch. It was a Saturday so we ordered the thin crust pizzas special. He had a vegan cheese and vegan sausage pizza and I had a moo moo cheese and vegan sausage one because I'm not the biggest vegan cheese fan. Results...

My pizza was delish! I tried a slice of his and also delish-which surprised me! Tasty thin crusts. Great tomato sauce. Yummy sausage with classic flavor profile and texture. Quality cheeses. I even had another slice of his.

They served us a bowl of classic peanuts in the shell to keep us busy before our order arrived. That was fun.

Our waitress was awesome too. Took good care of us.

Appreciated the 80's and 90's tunes in the background.

Chill and cute atmosphere. There's a bar too for folks looking for adult beverages.

Next time I want to try one of their lemony desserts that a customer was ordering to go.

Since 1995. For good reason.“

“Heaven on pizza! Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmy“

“Broken Oar is always a great time, especially on a summer Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere is lively, the crowd is fun, and the staff is consistently friendly and attentive.

We came by boat just to grab a few drinks and appetizers. Everything was good, but the churro fries were the standout of the day—absolutely worth ordering and highly recommended.

My only complaint is the docking situation. Getting from the docks to the restaurant requires walking through muddy, sandy terrain, which isn't ideal. More importantly, the docks sit very high above the water, and the exposed metal underneath ended up scratching our boat. If you have a typical recreational boat, I'd honestly think twice about arriving by water, as there's a real risk of cosmetic damage.

Despite that, the food, drinks, service, and overall atmosphere keep us coming back. We'll definitely be back—just probably by car next time.“

“Always great service and excellent food! The pizza is the best!“

“reasonable for the pasta!“

“Ashley helped me choose exactly what I wanted & she was so extremely friendly!! The frozen pineapple float machine was broken, but right when it became working again, Ashley personally made me the frozen pineapple float (which i did pay for) & brought it to me. Thank you so much Ashley for being such a sweetheart!!! I felt great when I was there thanks to Ashley ♡“

“Outstanding food every time. The gyro meat is flavorful, the fries are crispy, and the Italian beef is packed with taste. Everything is served hot and fresh, and the portions are more than enough. Kojak’s has become my go-to spot whenever I want a satisfying meal.“

“We met my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters for lunch. My daughter-in-law arrived before us and said that Ethan had pulled together a table for our group, adjusted the blinds as it was warm in there and offered some broken cookies for the kids as they couldn't be sold. Another gentleman came and cleared some plates. The staff couldn't have been nicer. We enjoyed our lunch.“
