“Friendly, plenty of seating and great food”

“Went here for the first time last night & really enjoyed the food, drinks & atmosphere. The service & staff are fantastic!”

“We stopped in tonight on our way home from a tournament. From the moment we walked in the door we were instantly greeted with a smile and seated right away. The staff was both helpful and pleasant. They made accommodations to the Ramon for my daughter to her liking. There is something for everyone. Service was just as amazing as the sushi. We will definitely be back and we’re bringing friends!!”

“We love every single thing we order here. The fried lumpia is outstanding and the pineapple rice is a favorite. Never disappointed. the pancakes are FLUFFY and so so good.”

“🌸 A Toast to Life, Love, and Literature—at Stella’s on the Square! 🌸 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Today, Stella’s on the Square wasn’t just a venue—it became a living, breathing storybook filled with laughter, tears, and love as we celebrated the extraordinary life of Cathy Cote (1967–2025). An aspiring author, a quiet storm of strength, and the kind of woman whose presence lingered long after she left the room. Her family turned the space into something magical. 💌 Pam read beautiful excerpts from Cathy’s unfinished book—words so heartfelt you could almost hear the pen still scribbling. 🛠️ Paul, her husband and emotional rock, was the embodiment of steady, supportive grace. 🎬 Crickett Cote, author and screenwriter, and chef extraordinare delivered moments of wit and warmth like a poetic stand-up act—honest, raw, and hilarious. 👧 And Darcy, Cathy’s youngest daughter, carried herself with quiet strength and glowing love, a reflection of her mother’s legacy wrapped in grace and soul. Cathy’s spirit filled every corner, whispering, “A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered.” And wow—was it ever. 🎶 Live music swayed with the floral decor. 🍴 The food was “hug-your-chef” good. 🍸 The cash bar? Let’s just say it kindly turned tears into toasts. But Stella’s—oh, Stella’s! The staff weren’t just servers, they were part of the experience. They moved through the room with compassion and charm, making it feel like your favorite aunt’s living room (if your aunt happened to have impeccable taste and event-hosting superpowers). Every detail—every flower, every flicker of candlelight, every note of the music—was a love letter to Cathy. She may not have finished her book, but today, we all lived in the final chapter together. A chapter written in hugs, memories, and a little Chardonnay. If you’re looking for a place to celebrate something—or someone—truly special, let Stella’s on the Square be the backdrop to your next unforgettable moment. ✨ Cathy would’ve adored this review. But more than that, she would’ve adored that so many showed up, laughed, remembered, and stayed a little longer than planned—just like she always did. #CelebrationOfLife #CathyCote #StoriesLiveOn #DarcyStrong #StellasOnTheSquareMagic #LiveLaughRemember”

“without a doubt the best bar in the area! When you come here, you are treated like family and are well taken care of by the owners, bartenders, dj, etc... I have truley made some of the best memories with my friends here. We have made many new friends coming to Players. This is the place to be on Friday nights, they have karaoke and the most amazing dj hosting it!”

“In my years growing up in Portland and then moving to the outskirts of the city, I’ve finally found a Restaurant /Tavern with my first choice Owner’s special I give four stars, atmosphere friendly service excellent. The experience with my lady and one of our sons and I had the best experience, and the price just right they have found a new customer. I couldn’t have found a great place that we have enjoyed. See you soon.”

“Super friendly people and tasty drinks ☺️ Love the loyalty card incentive.”

“Great first visit; breakfast sandwich and bagels were amazing. We will definitely be back 😋”

“Stopped here one summer Friday night and boy glad that we did.

While the others in my group went for more traditional hard serve options, I chose the blueberry milkshake and oh my god best blueberry flavor I have had in a milkshake!

Blueberry pieces with good soft serve ice cream base and amazing blueberry flavor over all.

Honestly with the Gazebo closed under going excessively long renovation, we needed a new ice cream place and this is it.”

“I will have to say that I haven't been to subway in awhile. I stopped going because the bread was getting dry and always falling apart. I was actually very pleased with my sandwich. The bread was super soft and fresh.”

“I cannot say enough amazing things about my experience at Queens Head! I have Alpha-Gal Syndrome, which makes eating out extremely difficult and sometimes even scary. But the team here went above and beyond to make sure I could enjoy a safe, delicious meal without worry. Not only were they knowledgeable and understanding about my allergy, but they also created a special menu item just for me so I could finally go out and eat with confidence. Their kindness, attention to detail, and willingness to accommodate my needs meant the world to me. The food was incredible, the staff was compassionate, and the entire experience made me feel truly cared for. If you have food restrictions or allergies, this is exactly the kind of restaurant you can trust. Thank you, Queens Head, for giving me a safe night out and reminding me that dining out can still be enjoyable! 💛✨”

“as long as you're cool with obvious health code violations like allowing smoking in the outdoor dining area, and slow service, then sure. The food is good, you just have to be prepared to deal with extra things”
