“I don't think I've ever had a better experience... I took my kids out to eat and everything was great! There was a young man cleaning the tables when we went to sit down. He was very sweet and polite, visiting with my kids. All of their staff was great there. The food was delicious. But when I walked out. I forgot my purse in the booth, distracted by my little ones. I honestly didn't realize until the next day. When I was looking for something I needed for work out of it. I just started panicking. Thinking of all the things that I'd have to replace. And the things that couldn't be replaced. I was just sick to my stomach. Already stressed being up there for a family emergency. I called Culver's being the last place I remembered having it. The gal asked me to hold on for a second awhile she went and checked and then said "yep it's here!" You don't understand the sense of relief. And when I stopped there and pick it up I literally had tears in my eyes. Not a thing was missing. I am so thankful for the boy that turned it in. He was the same one that was cleaning the tables when we got there. What an amazing person! I am so beyond grateful! People like him give me hope for my baby's future. Sometimes you just need that reminder that they're still good honest people out there that do the right thing. I wish I could do more to repay him for his kindness and honesty. Times have been rough lately. I'm a single mom and that would have been devastating having to try to replace all my work stuff, keys. IDs, credit cards, vaccine cards, money etc. And to be honest, when I got in the car I did cry some happy tears. I just couldn't help but think what a sweetheart that kid was. He's my hero. I'm sure his family is so proud of the man they're raising! Thanks again! You're truly amazing!“

“Great place to eat…great for family dining and menu has variety“

“Great coffee drinks and stylish atmosphere!“

“Ben was great he was so sweet and amazing. My daughter has a horrible week at school and we came sat for lunch. She wanted a cherry from my margarita but it was too late the cherry was drowned. He knew what she wanted even before she said anything I had no idea what was going on he came back with cherrys and gummy brain candy!!! She was so happy.! He interacted with her as a person and he was so sweet this is the best experience we ever had at Applebees and Ben deserves a raise“

“My boyfriend's family MUST visit this place every time they are in town. I am Gluten Free and Dairy Free and they had options for me that weren't just a plain side salad. Their gf bread is so good I was worried I was served the wrong thing, they said they take providing alternatives and serving people with allergies seriously. The pizza is flat crust square cut, very much northern mid-west style maybe st. L inspired. Pictured is the clubhouse on gluten free bread.“

“Great food. Great people. No maga.“

“We stopped at Cedar Creek Tavern for dinner on the way to our cabin. Brandy was our bartender and she was fantastic! She suggested the ribs for dinner and they were absolutely incredible! Thank you Cedar Creek Tavern for an awesome dinner experience!“

“This was the first time having the Mother’s Day Buffett and it was amazing!! Everything was SO delicious!! Well worth the cost, we’ll definitely be back next year!“
