My husband, sister & myself went to Happy Chef for the 1st time. My husband & I are gluten free by choice. Their Gluten-free pancakes are AMAZING! Definitely worth a try! We brought our own GF buns just in case we decided on a burger, but we did not. The staff was soo friendly, attentive & all around great service! We look forward to going again!

Went there for breakfast with an friend from out of town, for "old times sake". Got seated in the back dining area. Had to go ask for water. Left after 30 monutes. Our assigned waitress was busy.

Super super expensive and not very good quality food skip this place
