“Best pizza! Worst Salads! The salads are made up mostly of the ribs of lettuce. I'm guessing they use the good part of the lettuce for their grinders and such, and use the scrap ribs for salad. I've tried their salads numerous times thinking each time that I just happen to get a bad one the last time, but it never gets better. I'll order pizza, but no more salads.”

Beer was cold and good selection of local beers.

Order at bar...don't think it is a waitress type place, but that is fine...

Good views from outdoor areas...

We did have some chips with a local salsa which was a good snack. Food truck there was doing a lot of pizza and it looked good.

Stop in for a drink!”

Just the right amount of chocolate and no whipped cream just as I requested. The young lady that waited on me was very kind with a very big smile. This is the second time that I’ve been to the Starbucks and both experiences I would rate five.
I cannot say anything about the atmosphere because I was in the drive-through window both times.”
