“We live in the area, and this is our favorite place. The food is always good - burgers are flavorful, rice bowls are good, love the fried green beans, fries are the best in town. The beer selection is great as there is always a good representation of different kinds as they rotate beers in and out. The remodeled outdoor patio is beautiful! And the servers always seem like they enjoy their job. Tanelle is a gem; we always feel lucky when she comes to our table. Great place! Go there!”

The chicken & pizzas were absolutely FANTASTIC! I don’t like salads, but the salad bar made me want to try some. The employees were incredibly kind & helpful! Checking to see if we needed anything & clearing our table!

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about All About the Cupcake! Kelli was absolutely amazing to work with from the start. She was so responsive, helpful, and kind throughout the entire planning process, and she truly helped make our wedding day stress-free from testing flavors, helping determine what we needed, to such a smooth delivery! Now… the cupcakes—phenomenal!! So many of our guests raved about how delicious they were, and we couldn’t agree more. Our personal favorites? Honestly, all of them—but if we had to choose, the lemon and peanut butter cup were insane. YUM! Kelli's attention to detail, professionalism, and incredible baking made a sweet impact on our big day, and we are so grateful. We would highly recommend All About the Cupcake for any event, big or small. Thank you so much, Kelli!”
