“We went to the Mudpenny in Ada for dinner. It was probably the worst food ever presented. The trout was overcooked almost to a dried consistency, the grain had wimpy mushrooms and no taste, completely left off the tomatoes, the drink was very small and over priced. We feel robbed!!!! The bill was split and it came to just under $50.oo for each person!! What a joke!! I want my money back!!“

“I have been a loyal and happy customer for 15 plus years, hear that, more than fifteen years! And to learn that these B’s have been holding out on me. The absolute nerve! They have been holding out on the carrot cake… keeping it hidden somewhere… away from me! It’s !&$/“?> garbage. I am warning ya’ll right now DO NOT get the carrot cake, you might die of happiness. Heaven on earth right there it is. Here I thought that pie company or the round cake place had the best. No. Just fricken no. This gooey glorious deliciousness. I’m telling ya. You know the worst part!?! They could totally have itty bitty toothpick sample bites and let us know! But NO. It’s like some top secret sauce for their keeping. Ridiculous! I will have you know that my Birthday is coming up and you BETTER save me a piece. The nerve!!! FIFTEEN years! I feel like someone owes me an apology! 5 stars I would share a picture but I ate it all. And than licked the carry out box. Don’t you dare judge me!“

It was our first time here so we took a minute ordering, but she was still sweet waiting patiently. When we got the food it was all excellent.

“Server Julian was excellent. Food was ok. Place not very clean
Silverware worn & dirty.
Had the Chicken & Shrimp dish, chix was great, shrimp rubbery and too few, three mushrooms in the mushroom onion saute? Blondi dessert rubbery & not edible, although I enjoyed ice cream & sauce. Julian discounted dessert without being requested. I understood Applebee:s food is MSG free, something server did not know. And, the selection of wines included Cupcake & Barefoot brands, both of which have MSG!
And, the survey request for $20 off next $40 visit brings you to a site that requires CC info for free trial that starts charging within 5 days. READ THE FINE PRINT. Unfortunately my last visit to an Applebees.“

Multiple people told us happy anniversary. Our server, Ericka, she was real genuine and nice and at the end of our dinner she brought us a vase of flowers. This was hands down the best dining experience we have had. Thanks for making this an enjoyable and rememberable night for us.“

“We are a Greek family and love the Greek dishes that Leo's Coney Island offers. We have dined there frequently, often bring friends. The food is always good and the service fantastic. That being said; however, we have decided not to dine there any longer during the cold months, as the owner chooses to keep the dining room quite frigid. We heat our home at 68 degrees and are comfortable at that temp. We have tried mutliptle visits to Leo's Coney Island this winter...and each time the dining room has always been uncomfortablly chilly. When we pay to go out to eat, dining with our winter coats on and still being cold is not a relaxing or enjoyable dining experience. We gave it another try last night visiting around 5:30pm (hoping the furnace was turned up). The dining area was extremely C-O-L-D! This could be why there were not many customers there? We asked the waitress if the heat could be turned up, and she replied, "No, the only person allowed to adjust the temperature is the owner, and he is not here". NOTE to Owner: Saving money by turning down the heat in the cold of winter does not provide a pleasant dining experience for your customers and certainly cannot be good for your business! So...we'll see you in the summer?.... ~ Chuck and Denise Antonopulos“

The food was delicious. I had a chili-crisp hummus and a chicken bacon flatbread. The former was a combination that I didn't expect, but it was great. and a chicken bacon flatbread.

The drinks were good too. Nice and chill. The customer service by Eric was superb.“

“We had Matt & Pit Stop cater the food for our wedding. Matt is fantastic at communication, responsive, and hilarious. The catering price & service couldn't be beat, and he even sent photos ahead of time of the plates and silverware that he provided, which was super helpful.

My wife, our guests, and me LOVED the food. Throughout the night (and even the week after) people would talk about how good the food was. This is impressive because our event was over an hour from the Pit Stop location, which shows that Matt is a pro at prepping food and making sure it stays hot until the dinner begins.

Couldn't recommend Matt & Pit Stop any more.. Absolutely awesome.“
