“Love the atmosphere here, everyone is so nice, and love the Trash Panda!“

“Excellent prices and the food portions are incredible. Always tasty and hot!“

“The atmosphere is so chill. Everything I had was so delicious. Went for a 50th Birthday Party.“

“Pizza was great and service was quick and attentive. It was a bit unique in that after we were seated, and got menus, we the. went to the counter to order. They have us a number and then brought the food to our table. The space was also a little cramped and if much busier could have been tough to sit down together. It was myself, my wife and our two kids. But there was a table and the host had great energy and made the experience even better.
The wood fired pizza was amazing and I would highly recommend Timber Pizza.
The pricing was a little steeper than fast food pizza, but it was MUCH better. We had empanadas and three different pies. One of them customized for our youngest.“

“First time here, got the hot chicken sandwich and it was delicious!! Probably one of the best I have had in a long time. The chicken was tender, fresh, and it was definitely spicy— but with a good kick to it. I really enjoyed it. I got a salad as a side, wish I had got the potato salad instead as I tried some off my friend’s plate and that was excellent as well. Definitely recommend if you’re craving a savory and spicy chicken sandwich!“

“Love the atmosphere! Sat upstairs and it has a great view that overlooks the bar. Can go outside on the balcony and see all local shops and buildings. So many people walking around enjoying themselves. Our waitress was great! The food was perfect! I got the fish tacos, cheese grits and sweet potatoes casserole. My boyfriend got the ribeye steak and he said it was one of the most tender steaks he ever had. Have no complaints. If we come into town again we will definitely be eating here again.“
