“I went to this location with my supervisor and my manager. The whole experience was top notch! I was being recognized by my company for an achievement and the restaurant staff joined in to help celebrate the occasion. The staff went above and beyond what I would consider great customer service. Thank you all for a great experience!”
“We had the waiter, Lou. He was amazing! Such great service and so attentive. He had such a great personality and was in such a good mood it was hard to not be happy with him as our server. The food was amazing and so were the drink recommendations he offered!”
“Best Mexican place I’ve been to. Service is always great. Staff is always as nice as can be. Foods always great. And can’t beat the prices. Not really one to leave reviews but everyone needs a pat on the back sometimes and this place deserves ”
“A place like this was needed in the area, perfect location and a nice atmosphere inside this wine bar invites you to relax and enjoy a good glass of wine with good company. We will come back to sample their famous food soon too. A great addition to Jacksonville!”
“My first time at Duck bar and grille. Can’t say enough good things about this restaurant. Our waitress, Christine was amazing and she was very overwhelmed with customers. She handled everything so well. The chefs there are awesome. I had the best shrimp scampi there that I have ever eaten in a restaurant. Keep up the great job !”

“We just ate there about an hour or so ago...the food was good, the chef cooking food in front of us was cool and comical...the waitress and the chef had us laughing...but the food hibachi chickenAnd the salmon plate were good”
“Food was sometimes good other things,meh! Had steak, ribs, fries, onions n mushrooms, chili, Mac n cheese, fried pickles, cheesecake. Ribs are to die for! Steaks weren't quite cooked to order, one was inedible... seemed liked it was an end piece, full of fat n gristle. Mac n cheese was dry. On the other hand, onions n mushrooms were good, as was chili. Best thing was the ribs n cheesecake, sorry to say. Took forever to bring food out to car, making everything ice cold by the time we got back to hotel. Maybe other locations are better. But, of course, rolls n cinnamon butter were to die for!”
“Went in there for the first time yesterday, due to the fact that I was having severe tooth pain and couldn’t eat for a few days. So I decided to go in and try their meal replacement shakes. Not only was the lady who helped me knowledgeable and super sweet, she made sure not to put any Sim card in it that might disrupt my tooth. Even told me about how I could get a shake and a tea for a discount price. Despite the fact that I was in severe pain that chocolate peanut butter shake was amazing. And that ocean water or something I’m definitely gonna try again here in the future.”

“A rare find in our area - a truly delightful Indian restaurant that combines good food, great service and a lovely location at the Hilton Garden Inn. I recommend the mango lamb curry and the naan bread. Amanda our attentive waitress guided us to order the perfect Indian beer to complement a wonderful meal. Don’t miss it.”
“Food was great the portions were pretty big also . The service from savory was also really good. Recommend getting crispy chicken sandwich and their chocolate chip cookie shake.”
“when we were in LA we eat there every day... very clean the staff was great and the most important it was so tasty and fresh... this is the best super food ever. don't miss out there corcum lemonade”
“First Watch is one of my favorite breakfast spots!! Service is always amazing, food to die for. Ask for Jamie as your server, she won’t let you down! Such a sweet gal who provides such great service!”
“We went here for the first time tonight and my husband and I were BLOWN AWAY by the customer service. I cannot express how welcoming and genuine the entire staff was. They were fantastic and so was the food. We will definitely be back and we HIGHLY recommend this place.”
“My man Mitch hooked it up on my Strawberry Banana Smoothie Açaí bowl today! Awesome spot- outstanding service and quality food make this place probably the coolest thing Jacksonville has to offer.”
“I get the same two things everytime I come here. So delicious!! I’m sure everything is just as good as well. I never get out the parking lot fully without me eating my food.”
“I go to this amazing restaurant about 3 times a month, sometimes 3 times in a week. Their amazing food, family-owned atmosphere, and incredibly affordable prices, are 3 very big reasons I keep coming back. The 3 employees who I know, Charles, Mark, and (don't hate me if I spell this wrong) Kak are always happy and smiling. The food is absolutely amazing. Authentic flavors and dishes, that are always cooked the exact same way, I've never received an order of anything that I did not enjoy, all while spending less than I would at a chain restaurant. I ask a million questions and have never been talked down to, so please if you're venturing into new foreign food, ask them. They're incredibly knowledgeable and have no problem passing the knowledge. All in all I'm going to end with this - sometimes the line is out the door for a reason. If you're considering eating here, just do it. You'll be back.”
“Originally I would’ve given my experience and food critique 3 stars (and 3 stars is being extremely generous). The waitress was pleasant but could not answer any basic questions about the menu. I gave it a one star because the owner came out in a fairly aggregated manner and began to accuse us of eating all the food and not paying for it. My friends and I let her go in for a minute before we showed her the $70 + $30 tip receipt that we had in fact paid. The well-tipped waitress, who should’ve explained the situation correctly, was nowhere to be found. There were 100 other tactful ways to have handle this situation. My suggestion to owners; 1- invest in experienced waiters that can elevate your business and answer pertinent questions in the menu; 2- Hire a consultant who can train the staff to handle situations accordingly. There is no reason why the owner/chef should come out defensively accusing customers of not paying. All whilst waving our leftover food baskets telling my party “You ate all this food, you need to pay!” Based on the food alone, I would not return. The overall experience sealed the deal for me.”
“Great customer service, the food is amazing they put a generous amount of everything. The coffee is great too and such a good atmosphere. 10/10 would recommend comming here!!!!”
“I pass this place everyday and finally today I decided I was going to try it. I had a friend tell me the portions were too small for the price but I said to heck with it let me see for myself. I must say I was very impressed! The food was amazing and had good size portions!!! Will definitely be back again and again!”
“I go to mission twice a month!! The food is usually awesome! Tonight after a long rod trip my first stop is dinner and home, I go to mission it’s busy. I get home to eat. I order 1/2 a yard bird and sides. I normally get ribs or brisket but after a long trip time for bed I go for what I know is the best option that’s lite. Something told me to go for salmon but I love the chicken. Bad move. It was so dry, if I hadn’t drove all those miles to get home I would’ve taken it back!! Good place, good food, but check your to go order on busy days!! I had collards and Mac and cheese for dinner.”
“I quite literally just finished eating my meal from here and it was absolutely delicious. I got a chocolate shake, a mushroom Swiss burger, and chili cheese fries and all three were so damn good. The portions are so filling, the guy working was so nice, and the prices are literally insane!(in the best way possible) all that for under 20$...pretty much unheard of nowadays. The difference between jeffs burgers and the other burger places around here is that this place is actually good! Everything was perfect. Price, taste, customer service. I will absolutely be coming back and bringing my husband with me.”
“Very fresh and delicious sushi ? my Wife's favorite place to go here in Jacksonville will definitely recommend trying it if you haven't been there and prices are ”
“Food is always delicious. The cauliflower app is amazing. Greek salad is perfect! I always finish with a turkish coffee. Service is always prompt with competent and kind staff. I love the ambiance and low lighting with the unique decor and seating against the wall is my favorite.”
“Had the Best service today from Mr. Vontae... he was very attentive... not only to my table ... but the other tables around. I heard other tables saying how nice he was... thank you....”
“Stopped by for a late lunch dinner. Super yummy- definitely recommend the jalapeño cheesy oysters (not sure that’s what they’re actually called). Service was wonderful!”

“I was there today for the taco Tuesday special. The server we had could not get the order right and when we asked for some cheese dip he asked if we were being rude. this is the third time he has messed up my order. if I do dine there again I will ask for another server besides this one.”
“I came in not knowing what I wanted but with an idea. The manager took what I wanted and had her team make my favorite sushi roll. Super nice and accommodating. Loved ”
“First off this is probably the best olive garden I've went to in a while. The food was pretty good The portion size was very well. But it lacked a bit of seasoning.Atmosphere when I went. It was very crowded. The scenery around me. What's good for the most part.”
“Although people sent bad reviews in the past, that doesn't mean to immediately overlook the establishment. I just ordered food from here today and I am very satisfied with my order. The food was amazing.The delivery time was very good especially considering the order was for a party of 8. 10/10 would recommend.”
“$25 (roughly). All you can eat sushi, sashimi, and other Asian goodies, plus they have authentic Japanese beer and Saki, hot or cold. Absolutely love going here, usually only complaint is Inover eat when I do go ?Parking: Its busy because its a good place to eat.Kid-friendliness: Just as kid friendly as any other restaurant, unsure about kids menu though, so hopefully they like sushi.”
“The food was amazing and our waitress was fantastic. I wish I had caught her name. She was very friendly, wore glasses, and had a cheetah print badge reel. She went above and beyond and made sure my birthday dinner was amazing.”
“Took our kids here on a Saturday afternoon. The waitress was super nice and attentive. Everything we ordered was great. Especially the pizzas. The kids enjoyed the little arcade and we will definitely be back.”
“The food has always been great, been going here for over 2 years and never had a complaint. Great prices for hibachi, youre not gonna find a full plate for $10 anywhere else. The young guy working the front counter is always nice. I once left my wallet here on accident, and he ran out the front door to give it to me as i was pulling off. Absolutely zero complaints about this place, I recommend it 100%.”
“This definitely isn't a place I would choose to sit in and eat at but they do have a cute section to sit and eat. Definitely more of a takeout place which is what I was looking for! The lady that helped me was very nice and the food was delicious!”
“My first time having Szechuan Chicken. I expected it to be a little spicier, but I liked it even still. They also have good crab rangoons and some of the best rice I've ever had.”
“If you or your family have celiac disease (gluten allergy) Smithfield’s in Jacksonville on Yopp road is the place to go! We are so thankful we have somewhere safe to eat. They take the allergy seriously. They change gloves, are careful on cross contamination, and pack food separately. Thank you Smithfield’s!”
“Love this place and the vibe. If you do not know what to get ask the owners they have good suggestions always. I like sweet drinks not tart or sour. Love me some them ?”
“Ate here with one of my girlfriends for a night out! This was before the renovation but we were highly impressed with the decor. It was so cozy and cute! We had excellent service! The drinks were amazing and the food was excellent! We will definitely be back!”

“Hearty 9-Grain Pancake Slam!!! It’s so hard to describe, but trust me, the texture is soooo good. Don’t miss the Kids Eat Free (1 per adult meal), currently on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 4-10pm. Denny’s is one of VERY few restaurants my kids will clean their whole plates (and ask for more!).…but pass on the stuffed animal claw machine. The tension on the claw is set too low to pick anything up. …Or maybe I’ve just lost my touch? You do you. I’ll save my money for another side of crispy bacon.*Also recommend trying the strawberry stuffed french toast. A bit pricey if you’re a regular like us, but soo worth it to splurge every now and then when you’re willing to give in to your sweet tooth’s temptation.Hash browns and chicken tenders are also recommended, by the way.Kid-friendliness: Kids eat free on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 4-10pm (1 per paying adult).”
“Typical American diner atmosphere (at least as you imagine as a European). You can choose seats at the counter or in a booth, we had toast which was really delicious. The coffee was also good and the staff was very friendly. There are separate toilets which were clean.”
“Went on a late Sunday morning. Tried the new strawberry waffle and it was soooo good. I enjoyed it. Kids had the all star with a waffle and ate it up. And a bacon egg sandwich with Hashbrowns. Ate it up. I had the cheese steak hashbrown bowl with veggies was really good. Although busy, service was quick and enjoyable.”
“This particular day we just ordered waffles. I ordered a pecan waffle and it was candilisously yummy. The waitress was kind and attentive. The atmosphere was your typical Waffle House and that’s how I expect it, gritty, messy floors, a symphony of beautiful chaos.”
“Dining area was clean, bathroom was clean and my order was filled quickly just how I like it!Parking: Plenty of parking spots & a double drive through!Kid-friendliness: They have happy meals!Wheelchair accessibility: It's the law!”
“This is most def one of the top 5 mcdonalds in size i have ever seen, but considering its location and traffic, i could see why they had to accommodate..not only for non stop drive thrue customers but a little steady flow of walk ins and the crew to handle the onslaught of continuous orders. Customer service is the best from my personal experiences, but also from my observation on how they handle the excessive drive-through orders very organized, they still keep their corporate standard of x amount of time per order. Very friendly, they also excersized suggestive selling techniques, which doesn't happen often... nothing like hearing the words "would you like fries with that?".. on point love it from a managers perspective. Food quality considering how fast they are moving is great quality of taste even better plus it seemed fresh and juicy always tastes better when its fresh off the grill as apposed to sitting in the heater trays that dries them out...this should be consistant at this location because they have to keep making more as the orders come barreling through. The atmosphere is flawless from the hassle and bustle of the employees to the lack of better words not hearing a single complaint from any customers abd I've been sitting here for a couple hours usually you will hear 3 to 4 so they make sure there orders are made to order. The design and architecture of this mcdonalds i really liked it alot very modern i couldn't resist taking a bunch of photos. Extra kudos for the prestine well kept restroom i hardly ever take photos of restrooms so when i past one... they take care of it and it looks good. The best mcdonalds ever through and through.”
“Excellent all around. Clean, relaxing and such a positive atmosphere. Totally enjoyed. The app to be "added to wait list" was awesome. Everyone professional and kind. Our waiter Nick was the best. So attentive and on point. Very charming and professional.Will ask for him next time. Great service. The food was excellent. You can't go wrong. Enjoy .”
“Very sweet women inside! Good variety of things even though it’s a smaller store! Wish I had a place like this near me (on business trip rn). Another women bought me a drink to try also, had a good visit!”
“I love Japanese food, especially hibachi, and Hakata Japanese Steakhouse is hands down the best Japanese restaurant I've ever been to. I've traveled the world and every country I visit, I eat Japanese sushi and hibachi. I can honestly say no one can beat Hakata in taste, sauces, service, fun, entertainment, or friendly atmosphere. My family and I say every other Japanese steakhouse is NAGAH compared to Hakata. NAGAH means Not As Good As Hakata! I always by pints of Hakata salad dressing and mustard sauce to take home. No one has ever mastered Hakata's secret sauces recipes. I give Hakata an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10.”

“Southern Harvest food is absolutely phenomenal. My wife was humming with every bite. We eaten great food all over the country and she raved about how this place should be on Food Network.

You can't go wrong with whatever you order here.”

“Wanted to try an authentic burrito, was told of the various Mexican food restaurants across from KFC. Pulled up to the recommended place and decided to walk down further.Stopped here the language barrier was noticed immediately but there were 2 guys that spoke both languages and I placed my order. When I arrived home, I was more than pleased. The burrito was huge, I tried the sopes and it was a winner. I will be returning with some friends and enjoy the atmosphere. It was an unexpected adventure and well worth the local vibes.”

“Today was the first time I've ever tried these amazing drinks. The staff are so kind and helpful with guiding you through the order. The sitting area is chill and the wall with origami is so fun to look at. As for the drinks 10 out of 10 seriously recommend! They have a great variety of flavors and options for add in as well as options for those who can't have dairy. I'll be back for sure!”
“My husband had the club sandwich that came with fries for $6.99. What a deal. I ordered the homemade chicken and pastry with fried okra and sweet potato fries. Everything was wonderful.”

“This is the absolute best coffee shop in town. I exclusively only come here to get my coffees in the morning. The employees are all friendly, the drinks are always great (especially when Natalie or Matt make them), and the plain bagel with veggie cream cheese is to die for! Best coffee shop around!”

“This place is amazing. The atmosphere and food are great. The customer service and staff are extremely nice. If you are in the area I would highly recommend checking this place out.”
“Normally we're very satisfied with whatever we get. However, earlier this afternoon I ordered a ham and cheese sandwich for my husband, a traditional Gyro sandwich for myself, and 1 cherry and 1 apple turnovers. My husband wasn't too pleased with his sandwich. I have had Gyros in Mediterranean/Greek restaurants more times than I can remember. The onions and tomatoes are always sliced small and put on top of the meat followed by the tzatziki sauce. The onions, tomatoes and sauce are never put on one side with barely any sauce. In addition the meat appeared to have been sliced and stored in the refrigerator and barely heated in the microwave. The meat was just warm. We were very disappointed. I probably won't order a Gyro or ham and cheese sandwich again. Also the turnovers used to be kept warm. They were cold Instead of 1 apple and 1 cherry, I was given 2 cherry turnovers.”
“The lunch time manager was amazing! Not sure of his name - I’m in the drive threw people everywhere normal madness at lunchtime- he is in there busting butt to help his employees get lunch orders out- Mind you I am in the drive threw- he stops what he is doing and tells his employees “Y’all are doing great keep it up, I really appreciate you! Everyone was happy and super helpful! Definitely made my day!”

Would highly recommended this location based on my experience today. A+”
“I go in there from time to time. They always have great deals and their staff is really friendly. I especially love, Dennis he always takes great care of me. It's a great place to stop if you're doing a little shopping in the mall.”
“Love their fresh meat and veggie sandwiches. Very filling and love their alternative healthy options. #6Veggie, and you can also get an unwich lettuce wrap instead of French breadVegetarian options: Veggie sub or unwich with veggies no meat added”
“Every time we come to this Taco Bell, everything in our order is always correct. They don't skimp when it comes to filling a burrito. This time was a huge plus because they're cherry Pepsi wasn't watered down?”

“My job does Takeout Thurs and everytime we order from here even with the 20 plus orders they are great. Have them made and ready for pickup in a timely manner. Everything is made correctly and tastes good. Also with such a large group of people ordering there are lots of options.”
“Gabby is AMAZING! We eat here frequently and Gabby has our drinks at the table 1 minute after we sit down. She’s on her game with us and all customers! We highly recommend Mi Cabana and ask for Gabby!”

“910 is the best coffee shop around, from the atmosphere, to the music! The coffee is so good! Their matcha with blueberry cold foam is to die for! The staff are all so nice, and welcoming. They explain things very well! Highly recommend coming here! They are amazing!”
“Want a coffee that isnt your basic starbucks? Look no further. Every time I’m home from break i come here to grab a bite and support a local shop. The service? Amazing- these people are so kind and friendly. The food? Delicious, fresh, and with a wide variety (and fast)! The drinks? Amazing and never fail to make me feel satisfied. Highly recommend you go here and support them (and tip well bc they deserve it)!! I love this little coffee shop and will continue my stops here!”

“The food here is DELICIOUS! The wings are giant and the sauce is so good. Garlic knots are handmade. The pizza is perfect. Delivery is really fast too. I want to try their other menu items, but keep ordering the same food because it is so so good. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“This place is amazing! From staff to the food, it is our favorite burger joint! 1000% better than the trash McDonald’s dares call a burger. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!”
“Steves's Subs and Salads is the perfect example of good, simple subs that are high in quality!! Being from upstate NY, I have been searching high and low for a sub shop that actually served good quality subs. There are plenty of chains in the area but they do not compare to a local sub shop. Steves's really met all of my expectations. A cute little dining room with plenty of seating leads you right up to the front counter. We were met right away at the counter and given plenty of grace as we looked over their menu. We chose our preferred subs and worked our way down the counter where we got to customize our subs with all the fixins you could need. Additionally we were offered a house made pasta salad that was just so so good. We will definitely be coming back regularly!!!”
“The caramel iced coffee I had was the best coffee I've had in a long time. Having moved from WA state that is saying a lot since they have so many local coffee places there. The staff was very nice and helped me pick my coffee and listened to what I wanted in a drink. I don't like overly sweetened coffee and this was exactly the level of sweetness I was looking for. I appreciated the military friendly atmosphere and the building itself is very unique and makes for a more local experience and out of the normal. I really enjoyed this coffee shop and will definitely return again very soon.”
“"Don't judge a book by its cover" .. Great service, great food. Beautiful view! The river, water, boats and locals, the greenery and the PAROT! How cool. Dog friendly! They even have a dog menu! They also offer cruises. Will return!”
“I have tried a few different Chinese restaurants around Jacksonville, but Golden Pot is hands down the best! Ordered take out and everything was fresh. Tasted amazing, good serving sizes and at a reasonable price. So glad I finally tried this place!”
“I had recently been to this location while traveling from New York to visit friends in North Carolina, and I must say the chicken fingers, chicken, and waffles were delicious!!! And I must point out a gentleman by the name of Monty was really nice, really friendly and was the one who recommended what items I should try .He was very patient with me being it was my first time deciding on the menu ..My family also really enjoyed the food. I would also like to mention the restaurant was very clean. I could tell I was not eating at a Kfc restaurant in New York. This is a next level chicken restaurant compared to what i have in New York. I really wish we had one of these back home in NYC. I also highly recommend eating at slims in Jacksonville.Keep this guy monty around!!!! Good employees are hard to find....Again, thanks, Monty! Hope 2. See u next time. I'm visiting family in North Carolina.”
“Love the variety of menu options. First time ordering fried chicken. The fry is not as golden brown as I like it. But it was tasty.Parking: Two handicapped parking spaces.”
“FOOD AND SERVICE WAS AMAZING!!!! Hands down best place to eat I think I've ever stopped at in Jacksonville. Kanittha was our waitress was wonderful and attentive! The food was worth the price was amazing and portion size more than plenty to have have leftovers. Dumplings, Duck, and Pad thai are hands down what I'd recommend.. OH and Thai tea of course.”
“Staff was friendly. Our waitress Gladys(not sure on the spelling there) was awesome. We all went with the all you can eat option. I was impressed. You get a bunch of choices for appetizers, hibachi, and sushi...all you can eat. The sushi rolls are amazing. I really liked the Dragin ball z, kaarage, and there was another one that was my favorite, but forget the name. All of them were good though.”
“Great atmosphere, pleasant staff and honestly the best wings I have ever had, perfectly breaded and fried in fresh oil all finished with a precise amount of lemon pepper seasoning. You could tell that the wait staff and cooks were passionate and enjoyed what they were doing.”

“The food was amazing and our waitress was fantastic. I wish I had caught her name. She was very friendly, wore glasses, and had a cheetah print badge reel. She went above and beyond and made sure my birthday dinner was amazing.”
“I have been doing a lot of pick up curbside orders lately but today I needed only few things so I went in.. I enjoy walking the aisles seeing what profucts they have for the season. I've gotten few tops from there at great prices! Today they had a beer tower looked like American flag and some wine sample boxes that would be cool to do with spouse or friends! You can't see wine until you pour and sip to make your choices.. I'm intrigued!! Then I saw Budweiser sauces.. like I said lots of new stuff..”

“Hearty 9-Grain Pancake Slam!!! It’s so hard to describe, but trust me, the texture is soooo good. Don’t miss the Kids Eat Free (1 per adult meal), currently on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 4-10pm. Denny’s is one of VERY few restaurants my kids will clean their whole plates (and ask for more!).…but pass on the stuffed animal claw machine. The tension on the claw is set too low to pick anything up. …Or maybe I’ve just lost my touch? You do you. I’ll save my money for another side of crispy bacon.*Also recommend trying the strawberry stuffed french toast. A bit pricey if you’re a regular like us, but soo worth it to splurge every now and then when you’re willing to give in to your sweet tooth’s temptation.Hash browns and chicken tenders are also recommended, by the way.Kid-friendliness: Kids eat free on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 4-10pm (1 per paying adult).”
“I went to this location with my supervisor and my manager. The whole experience was top notch! I was being recognized by my company for an achievement and the restaurant staff joined in to help celebrate the occasion. The staff went above and beyond what I would consider great customer service. Thank you all for a great experience!”
“Kid heaven! If you have kids, this is the place. I bring my 3 here almost weekly, and the price is right. The pizza isn't Papa John's or Blaze, but I can definitely say it it's that far off. The staff here are always kind, keep the place tidy, and are always willing to make custom pizza orders for the buffet.”
“The best eatery if you like delicious food served from the cook to your table, hot. Well managed operation from the cordial host, kitchen staff, and servers. Good Southern hospitality vibe. Don't normally do reviews, but Cheddars impressed me enough to give them 5 stars.Parking: Moderately-busy w/ multiple spaces still available”
“Awesome spot to relax and enjoy a muffin or sandwich. The best thing about Brewed Downtown for me is their tea selection. I am not a coffee drinker and the fact they have tea options outside of the normal black, earl grey, camomile tea speaks volumes.”
“Been eating here for years now, before I had a family I would go with friends, and finally introduced it to my family recently and it was hit with then too. Made me super happy bc this is one of the comfort food places I enjoy going to! Cheap good foods!”

“I have been here multiple times while visiting and their drinks and food are always amazing. Staff are friendly and professional. Highly recomend. Not many local coffee shops but they are definately our favorite!”
“I've only ate the oxtails, plantains, Cabbage, and Mac and cheese. All so good. The meat is tender and the Mac and cheese is the perfect form of cheesy, the plantains are sweet and fried crisped and the Cabbage's flavor is top tier. This is my 3rd time visiting this spot and I plan to continue coming back. The vibe is ”
“The service we received was super quick! Our wait was only 5-10 minutes for our order of 15 boneless wings, and fries. The meal came with two cups for your drink of choice at their drink dispenser. Restaurant dine in was clean and they have indoor as well as our door seating.”
“Originally I would’ve given my experience and food critique 3 stars (and 3 stars is being extremely generous). The waitress was pleasant but could not answer any basic questions about the menu. I gave it a one star because the owner came out in a fairly aggregated manner and began to accuse us of eating all the food and not paying for it. My friends and I let her go in for a minute before we showed her the $70 + $30 tip receipt that we had in fact paid. The well-tipped waitress, who should’ve explained the situation correctly, was nowhere to be found. There were 100 other tactful ways to have handle this situation. My suggestion to owners; 1- invest in experienced waiters that can elevate your business and answer pertinent questions in the menu; 2- Hire a consultant who can train the staff to handle situations accordingly. There is no reason why the owner/chef should come out defensively accusing customers of not paying. All whilst waving our leftover food baskets telling my party “You ate all this food, you need to pay!” Based on the food alone, I would not return. The overall experience sealed the deal for me.”
“The food is DELICIOUS! Our dining group enjoyed everything we ordered. Exceptional customer service. Thank you to the owners for the welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back.”

“This is a great addition to our downtown. We went last night and found a lively place with comfortable atmosphere and a great selection of beers. They have wine as well. The service was great and the beer was excellent. Prices were right as well. We saw several friends there. The place is dog friendly and has several events lined up. The pub opens up into another large shared space so it can easily accommodate a big crowd. This is a big hit! We will be returning soon! Fortunately it’s just a short walk from our house.”
“Good was amazing, the boba and matcha was also the best around!! Highly recommend for anyone looking for the best ramen in the area!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“A rare find in our area - a truly delightful Indian restaurant that combines good food, great service and a lovely location at the Hilton Garden Inn. I recommend the mango lamb curry and the naan bread. Amanda our attentive waitress guided us to order the perfect Indian beer to complement a wonderful meal. Don’t miss it.”
