“I have been going to Cagney’s since they opened and they have always been super nice and the food is great at a reasonable price. Highly recommend.“

“Great burger. Good health food store attached“

“The food was very good. Large portions and well priced compared to other takeout restaurants. I do recommend placing the other ahead of time. You don't pay until your order is ready.

Make sure to grab a menu and circle what you want so it's easier for them to let the chef know what to make, since everything is made fresh to order.
Lunch and dinner peak hours are very busy and there is only 1 lady taking orders, busing and checking people out. So please be patient with her.
Our food was out in 15-20min.
We ate inside and still had leftovers for the next day. Definitely recommend!
We got, sweet and sour chicken with rice, chicken lo mein, orange chicken, chicken wings with rice and extra egg rolls and cream cheese wontons. Please get that sweet and sour and shrimp sauce on the side it's so good you'd want to dip everything in it lol sorry all the food was not pictured.“

“Last night, I had the pleasure of dining at Applebee’s, and it was nothing short of a delightful surprise. While Applebee’s is often thought of as a casual neighborhood grill, my experience felt elevated—almost like a fine dining evening hidden in plain sight.From the moment I stepped inside, the warm glow of the restaurant’s ambient lighting created a cozy yet inviting atmosphere. The evening crowd gave it an energetic vibe without being overwhelming, striking that perfect balance between lively and relaxed. The music played softly in the background, setting a comfortable tone for the night.The service was impeccable. Our server was attentive without hovering, knowledgeable about the menu, and quick to offer excellent recommendations. Water glasses were refilled promptly, and plates were cleared with a fine-dining level of discretion. I highly recommend this location with amazing management.“
