“Smoked pulled pork was good! service and establishment did not care that they made 1/2 our order incorrectly, despite being entered by the server correctly. unfortunately I had to ask to not pay for the wrong food. we waited 30 minutes for chips and cheese, but got it within 3 minutes after mentioning it to them again and seeing a table that arrived after us receive a fried appetizer before us....no apologies or care. sad to see.”

“My favorite employer was working. Not sure of her name but it is always a nice experience with her there. She is very friendly and down to earth. My sandwiches are always done the way I like them and she remembers me and what I like to eat. Thank you...”

“In town for a work trip and accidentally ordered from the wrong location — totally my mistake. They kindly accommodated me. The staff was incredibly warm, the portions were generous, and the food was absolutely delicious. So grateful for their kindness and service!”

“Very kind staff. I wish that I could remember her name. Great service is definitely part of a "Best Around Me" experience!!! Dave's Hot Chicken is a Best Around Me, am I right?”

“My husband and I tried this restaurant for the first time and love it! We got take out. The soup was delicious. We also tried two different appetizers and they were phenomenal. The staff was very friendly and helpful when ordering. The service was pretty fast and the food was fresh. We will definitely be back.”

“I cannot say enough good things about Smith Burgers. We have had over half the items on their menu and have never found something we didn't like. My favorite 2 items are the Swiss N Shroom and Bacon Mac Attack Ripper. If you haven't tried them yet, do it. You won't be disappointed.”

“Delicious! We went once and loved it. But had to go back to make sure it wasn't a fluke. This is hands down our new favorite mexican spot in Champaign Urbana. 10/10 reccomend.”

“The pastries and everything are so fun and pretty and always delicious!”

“Love it here! Amazing sushi from Ken and incredible pastries from Kaori. Must-visit if you’re in town, one of the best Japanese restaurant experiences you will have!”

“Although it’s been a while since I’ve been there I have to commend The Original Pancake House for their most recent post stating they were going to be closed on a upcoming day to install a new dishwasher. In this post they suggested other area restaurants for customers to visit for breakfast. There are not many places i know that would do this! Kudos to them! That speaks volumes to me on the type of people they are. Can’t wait to visit again!”

“Shoyu ramen= amazing. Comforting and delicious every time.”

“My first time at 7Brew and they were amazing. Very reminiscent of Dutch Bros that we have in Colorado. I dod a walk up order and even though they were absolutely slammed with cars in their drive, they still were friendly, made sure to acknowledge me, and even took a second to crack a few jokes with me. Always appreciated! I got the Smooth 7 (because irish cream!) and it is fantastic--equally strong and smooth, with just enough sweetness to keep you coming back for more. I would recommend 7Brew for sure!

Dietary restrictions: You can customize ANYTHING here. Sugarfree everything is available, as well as all of the dairy free options. I got my drink both sugar free and with almond milk and they didn't even bat an eye.”

“This is one impressive brewery, variety, flavors, an indulgent chime to tingle all the ears and taste buds. I noticed plenty of space and parking in this accessible location. Staff was in touch and serving up some samples in their rustic atmosphere. Can't say to food but assuming it is as good as the beers; has to grab a four pack of the schwarzbier noting it's rich and complex balance. My friends enjoyed as well, can easily recommend Riggs!”

“I have eaten here several times. One of the best places in town for falafel. Their bowls are large and can easily be divided into two meals. Their pita bread is hot and delicious. The staff is friendly and fast.”

“This place came highly recommended for the Breaded Pork Tenderloin. It did not disappoint. Food was excellent and the staff was even better. I cant wait to make the trip back.”

“Such a nice place to visit! Staffs are very friendly and always has an energy. The foods were excellent as well. I had bunch of rolls and I love salmon and the quality of the fish were so good. Very fresh :) I would definitely come here again”

“Great service for a company meeting of 4! 10/10”

“Fried fish cooked in an open oven is crispy and fragrant, with authentic Chinese flavor. Braised beef brisket is soft, glutinous, tasty, and full of collagen. Thumbs up ?”

“Great food great service, authentic Asian food. Special drink selection :)”

“Absolutely amazing food, amazing service and amazing atmosphere. Paintings on the wall were breathtaking. Any time we are in town we will be eating here!!!”

“It was soooo goooood

The crunchies of the fried red peppers the peanuts the green peppers

Then the salty egg tofu was so nice and salty but sweet and the temp is so warm it’s like eating yummy soup with no liquid

The fried sweet and sour pork was okay”

“Dinner was fantastic. Service was superior. Wonderful evening and can’t wait to eat here again!”

“After today's experience at Baldarotta's Porketta & Sicilian Sausage we will never be going back. The level of unprofessionalism and discrimination exhibited by one of their owners was astonishing. To give a brief synopsis we were excited to try out their new location for lunch. We were immediately met with rudeness for no apparent reason by the woman at the counter, I later learned she was actually one of the owners. I honestly just brushed it off and didn't think too much into it at first. But that changed the moment we said we would be eating there and get time changed even more as she stepped out from the counter and said "I'm going to stick you guys in here." as she turned on the light to the extra dining room. For context there's maybe 15 tables in their main dining room and two or three of them had customers. Additionally, this was around 11:30 am and there were no customers behind us in line. The extra dining room was dirty and had food on the floor and the tables needed cleaned. The couple that had been in front of us got great customer service and the woman was very pleasant with them. It became very apparent that we were being treated differently due to the dog, who is a trained service dog being with us. We decided to ask for our money back and leave even though we love their food and have been looking forward to it. When we walked back into the main room and poorly asked if we could cancel our order and be refunded the response we received was absolutely in a harsh tone. She gave me my cash back and I said thank you. She responded by ignoring me and agreeing as if I was invisible. We walked around the building to the parking lot and I told Matt that I couldn't leave without having a conversation with her because the entire interaction just did not sit well with me. I walked back in and patiently waited for a couple at the counter to finish ordering. It should be noted the light to the other dining area we were told to go sit in was off again. Again when I approached I received a cold response after witnessing her being very pleasant with the couple in front of me. I asked if I could speak with a manager or someone in charge. That is when she informed me that it was her and she was a part owner. I asked her why she has been so rude towards us and that we felt discriminated against because of our service dog. She told me she didn't see anything stating he was a service dog. I explained ADA law does not require a service animal to be vested and that she never asked if he was or even mentioned dogs were not allowed, had she asked or said something we would have informed her he was. I would also like to note that the majority of our interaction with her Lambeau was sitting or in a down stay not causing any issues. She admitted that she did treat us differently because of the dog and said she could have handled the situation better but never actually took accountability or apologized for the entire situation. I'm sorry for the long read but I truly couldn't stay quiet about this. I hope she learned something from this interaction today and as much as I'm saddened and disappointed in the entire situation I'm honestly glad it happened to us and not someone who is not able to speak up for themselves. I truly hope they decide to do some self reflecting and learn how to be more accommodating for individuals with disabilities in the future.”
