“I've gotten the butterscotch pancakes many times, always good! The wait staff does fairly good when they're busy, usually a little wait for extra napkins, we enjoy the coffee, and there's only 1 time I can recall when I wasn't satisfied, it was a sloppily made Grilled Cheese sandwich, a choice of cheeses and breads would be a nice idea :)“

“My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease 2 years ago, when he was 49. He had a stooped posture, tremors, right arm does not move and also a pulsating feeling in his body. He was placed on Sinemet for 8 months and then Sifrol was introduced and replaced the Senemet, during this time span he was also diagnosed with dementia. He started having hallucinations, lost touch with reality. Suspecting it was the medication I took him off the Sifrol (with the doctor’s knowledge) and started him on PD natural herbal formula we ordered from Health Care HERBAL CENTRE, his symptoms totally declined over a 3 weeks use of the Health Care HERBAL Parkinson's disease natural herbal formula. He is now almost 51 and doing very well, the disease is totally reversed! Visit w w w . healthcareherbalcentre . com“

“I went here for a date; Wednesday trivia. It was a good atmosphere, with pretty spectacular food all things considered; they have a steak on the menu, and their flat bread pizzas are on point.There are also carb conscious options on the menu for those of you who are looking for that. I got their carb-counter burger, which was a deconstructed burger, lettuce and dressing. Burger was actually delicious.Beyond that, atmosphere was great - but loud. Trivia was also a good time! It's a good place for sure.Dietary restrictions: Low Carb Options“

“Stay for the Ice Cream that makes you feel like a kid again, but run away from extremely loud organ that plays when actual kids press the button. Seriously, that thing is the single loudest machine on planet Earth. The ice cream is top notch, 10/10, you should go here, but... that organ... They actually have a table directly in front of it. Who do they put there and they go, "This is fine!"? The screaming baby next to us was a more welcome sound than the organ. Once the song finished and the worst family in the world was satisfied, off in the distance you hear a sound. The sound of a SECOND organ. Sweet baby jesus, why? What possible reason do they have for playing it that loud. I really can't think of any reason other than torture. They punish you... wait that's it! They punish you for eating the ice cream. This is some classical conditioning to associate the worst sound on the planet to eating the most delicious ice cream. Zaharakos is out here making us healthier. I hear the joyous crescendos of Mozart and I put my ice cream cone down and run. Cardio supports heart health. The service was nice. Our server couldn't hear our order and asked to repeat it. You might be going, "Oh, the organ?", but you'd be wrong. They had an ear piece with other employees talking to them and they just weren't listening to us. Funny enough, they waited to talk to us until the organ was done playing, so they have to notice. I wonder if they have a favorite tune. I wonder if they even hear it...wait... the ear piece??!! They don't hear it, they save themselves by wearing ear protection so only WE must endure. This place is something else. Also, the ice cream is really, really good. They take reservations, oddly enough, but unless they let you specify where NOT to be seated, you can just walk in most of the time.“

The wait staff was super friendly, and our waitress, Abigail, was such a doll! She stayed on top of refills, made sure we were happy with everything and she was the only waitress I heard thanking and uplifting the Bussers. I couldn't help but just adore her for her positive energy, kindness and just how on top of everything she was.The food was amazing, not overly seasoned and cooked to perfection!The experience was a 10/10 and we will definitely be coming back!“

Breakfast was great. had the traditional breakfast with Ham, Eggs over Medium, Hashbrowns cooked medium with onions, wheat Toast, real butter cubes for the toast and our pancakes.
