“We had Emmy's provide desserts for our wedding and it was an ABSOLUTE HIT. I think that if there was a metaphorical plate for guests to lick, they would have. We were asked several times at the reception who/where we got the desserts from, including from some friends who are also planning weddings. We had cake pops, brownies, and mini cheesecakes and they were perfect. Our cutting cake was absolutely amazing as well. Perfectly made and one of the best cakes I've had. On the planning side, working with Emily was simple and she was awesome in working with us for our "vision" for our desserts. Pricing was more than reasonable and absolutely worth it for the food provided for the wedding. I would highly recommend Emmy's for any event, wedding or not, or just for driving through town and wanting a sweet treat!”

“Delicioso de inicio a fin. Excelente servicio!!”

“My boyfriend and I visited J. Alexander’s for the first time this Saturday evening. We had a reservation for 6 and were seated around 6:05, after checking in at 5:50. The young women at the hostess stand were extremely polite and friendly. The atmosphere inside the place is great. It’s quite dark, but I personally enjoy that. It was packed of course, being a Saturday night, but it didn’t feel claustrophobic. I think it’s cool that guests can look into the kitchen and see the cooks at work, although we were seated away from that section of the restaurant. After being seated, our waiter, Donny H., soon came by. He politely introduced himself and got us our drinks. My boyfriend and I are both pretty quiet people. Neither of us had questions about the menu and we had no requests for him throughout the meal. Even though he didn’t have much to work with, Don still did great with us!! Both of us enjoyed our food. I got the rotisserie chicken with smashed potatoes. For some reason, I didn’t realize it would come as a whole rotisserie chicken LOL. I kind of thought it would be cut up, but that’s definitely user error. The chicken was very tender and pretty easy to cut up on my own. While we were eating, I noticed that all of the wait staff seem to have excellent customer service skills. A few different waiters came by our table to clear plates, bring out our appetizer, etc. Every single one of them was as kind and gracious to as Don was, even though they weren’t getting tipped from us. I think that’s pretty rare to find. At the end of the service, Don even surprised us with carrot cake for free because it was our first time visiting. It was very kind of him. Maybe it’s just something he does to boost his tips, but hey, I respect the hustle!! And the carrot cake was dang good, even after taking it home and having it cold!! Overall a great experience. I’d definitely love to come back at some point even though it’s a bit of a drive for us.”

“Their cookies are good. Wish they weren't out of inventory so often. For the 3rd time, they were out of certain types....bummed me out!”

“The wimpy burger and chicken and biscuits are our favorite! Plus the pies are great and all homemade! 🥧”

“Mason Jar is our long time, favorite go to for great food, great atmosphere and the best costumer service in town!!! Whether it is their menu staples, chefs specials’ or local dinners at the orchard, the food never disappoints. Plus, it’s nice to be addressed by name when you walk in the door. Love supporting this small town business!!!”

“What a cute diner. Out of town and had to wait for rain to pass to play some Softball so we went to have breakfast and it was so good. Fast, friendly staff and great prices.”

“Awesome place to just relax or do some work in a relaxing, quiet environment”

“Food was delicious! Great customer service. Very enjoyable”

“Seriously the best service, incredibly quick while still making delicious food and the staff is beyond friendly! We frequently go in to get white rice for the kiddo before speech and the staff is always beyond sweet to him and always friendly and helpful! Plus the prices are great for the portions so definitely a must try 🥰”

“All of the morning shift servers are awesome, even though I can't remember all of their names, Monica Kylie and Linda and the Cooks, Jake and Ian are also great. Have a lot of heart, smiles and enthusiasm. They put their customers first show them that they care and they try very hard to remember your names and who you are. I would give them 10 Stars if it was possible. Please come and see the staff in the morning Monday through Sunday they are great.”

“Great product! You get a lot of bang for your buck at Mr. Freeze. Much quality in evidence there.”

“I ordered a cake for my sons birthday and I was definitely impressed. The design of the cake was exactly was what I hoping for and once I tasted it! Oh my, 10/10. I feel like I should have ordered a larger one just for extra left overs for myself because there wasn't any after everyone had a slice, lol! I'll be buying custom cakes from them from here on out. I appreciate your work, thank you and your crew so much!”
