“My family and I was there today to celebrate my mothers birthday, we ABSOLUTELY loved the food them ribs are to die for, however the memorable part was our server Tonya, I think I’m saying her name right, she was AMAZING I mean she engaged with my mom and son like if she was apart of the Family and THAT took us right away, the only downside was by the time we had received our drinks she was no longer our server which REALLY upset my mother, However the new server was nice she just wasn’t her,,, we LOVE the spot and enjoyed the whole atmosphere and my mother and Family DEFINITELY will be back we just hope that we run into that server Tonya again!!! OUR NEW FAVORITE SPOT!!!“

“This was my first East/West African eating experience and it did not disappoint. The spices, were delicious and so tasty. Please do not be put off by the old building. It's like the old saying, "don't judge a book by it's cover." The only negatives and mind you they weren't the worst things in the world. The incense upon arrival was a little extra, but didn't burn the entire time, the dessert menu needs some tweaking, and there was a slight language barrier with our waitress in training; the owner arrived and that was resolved. The owner is so friendly and helpful as well as answering questions and giving us samples of their homemade hibiscus juice; amazing!“

“Absolutely love this restaurant! The staff, service, and atmosphere is absolutely amazing! Highly recommend the chicken pasta, seasonal flat bread, and hamburger with fries. The cooks (Nick, Stephen, Jack, Jimmy, and Glen) are always top notch. With great people like JR, Jamie, Madi, and Jasmine adding amazing conversation and the best drinks you've ever had!

Parking: Parking located at the side and front of the building.

Kid-friendliness: This is definitely a great place to bring the whole family and have a meal! There's something for everyone!

Wheelchair accessibility: There's an easy entrance for wheelchairs and seating accommodations so everyone can dine together comfortably.“

“1st visit and didn't know if the reviews were true but they are. Definitely will need a big appetite if you visit. I ordered the Beast burger, and I wasn't able to finish it. Took the rest home and devoured it, and wanted more. Absolutely the best burger I've ever had! The lemon berry cake with marscapone is a must! Can't wait to go back! This place is a real jewel!“

“always a taste treat with clever choices and healthy too.“

“We are from out of town and came in late, trying to find some vegan friendly food but also good for my omnivore partner and it did not disappoint. Sunny greeted us and was friendly and personalizable during our entire dinner. We ordered the Mediterranean veggie wrap and salmon “omega 3” sandwich and it was amazing! The side of vegan Mac and cheese was one of the best vegan Mac I had. Prices were quite low for a restaurant these days, ranging around the $10-$15 range for an entree. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

Vegetarian options: Vegan options“

“Great food and service as always!! Great to see Christine's nod to one of the West Side's nicest guys Dan Wenger who's sadly no longer with us, "The Schmoe", excellent sandwich.“

“Last Fall, we had Ron's Roost cater a family wedding celebration at our home. When we picked up the food, it was tediously prepared and organized for transporting. Their service was outstanding! The portions were abundant! Nobody beats their chicken for a large crowd. Everyone raved about it! And we were able to send lots of food home with our guests. I HIGHLY recommend both their restaurant and this take out catering service. They are reasonably priced, a Westside favorite and owned by a lovely family. Thank you!“

“The food was great great service and a very good waitress nice attmessphere would eat there again when back in the area.“

“I had the “ In the Beginning “ with a side of fruit. It was well cook and presented.“

“Fun atmosphere. Fun was good. Some of the bartenders were fun, if only they would make eye contact! They weren’t that busy yet we had to wave them down for refills, to order, to get a box (when we got their attention for a box it was another good 10 minutes b4 they arrived) and then had to get their attention to pay! Not attentive at all!“

“I love that every thing is farm to table from local farmers. Delicious food and everything was fresh“

“I love the atmosphere, it’s elegant but with the door opening and closing that made it chili and that’s why I gave the 4 stars. The wait staff was excellent. Swift, patient, knowledgeable, all stepped in and helped, truly satisfied with the service! The food was exquisite!!! I had the baked chicken and baked potato and it was cooked and seasoned to perfection!!!! I only gave 4 stars because for me I feel the menu is limited with choices I like. The person I was with raved about the trout, couscous, and Brussels sprouts! This was a special night, special event, and j Alexander felt just as special!!!“

“Everything is AMAZING!!!!“

“The food was outstanding, despite it taking 40 minutes to make it to us.

Eating here kind of reminds me of eating at a funeral home. You'll enjoy the food, but the 1960s decor needs to go. It legitimately looks like a funeral home inside and out.“

It was absolutely delicious and I very much enjoyed the chips as well. The service was fabulous and plenty a big screen sports action to watch while waiting for my meal.“
