“We got there at about 7:45 thinking they closed at 9. They actually were closing at 8pm for after labor day hours. I didn't want to be inconvenient and would have left, but the Jeremy and his crew were really polite and kind and said it was no big deal. Everything was made quick, was reasonably priced, and delicious as always. Thanks again for another great meal!“

“Pretty cool... not on the impression of eating a ton of fat. Service is 100 ! They don't know how to do soft scramble eggs. So don't even dream of it. Their rubber version is acceptable. The place was freezing cold... luckily we got our coats.... weird for September.
If you like greasy dripping stuff don't go there... everything feels fresh and home made.“

“Went tonight for veterans day meal ,i really appreciated it they have been doing this for 17yrs,and also really impressed by the GREAT parents and two kids who handed out a carnation's to every vet in their (on their own dime and time ?)things like that don't happen much anymore they are doing a really great job of raising those kids better than 90% of high schools and colleges anymore. Lets hope they raise more kids just like that.

Good job applebees and the family with carnation's give yourself a pat on back“

“I recommend this uniquely artistic and creatively designed establishment. Tyler, our waiter, was very attentive, but truly an intellectual when sharing local historical information. The drink & food menu was diversely expansive featuring a delectable array of gourmet selections. Our group went with ordering an appetizer of artichoke cheese dip, which was dangerously delicious, followed by the main course featuring “white chicken & spinach pizza”, the to good to describe broiled Haddock, and savory chicken parmesan with homemade marinara sauce spaghetti.
The entire experience was rewarding and worth the drive. It’s definitely an establishment that we will look forward to returning to again, and I am looking forward to trying the other selections on the menu. I also noticed that this Restraurant caters to canine companions which is also a positive.“

“Good food & people!

I made a Certificate of Application for Fishers Restaurant in JTNY. I wanted to give it to them, but they were closed for the day. I just called & the owner said it's already on the wall. It's been my meet spot since I've been working at the JTNY Armory. If you're ever in JTNY & want breakfast or lunch you should go there & say Chip sent you. Tuna melt with bacon pushed me to make COA... Chicken sandwich is good too. Fried shrimp, beef on wic, salads, & whatever breakfast food 👍“

“Forgot her name but my drink was the first cocktail she ever made and it was amazing Think it was tiffany“

“My son and I stopped last Friday night and it was super packed. We managed to get the last table available at the moment and our waitress was so nice! She was very personable and engaged with my son awesomely. I wish I got her name! She may have introduced herself but that's on me for not remembering it. Food was very good too!“

“We ordered food to go, it was chicken Alfredo. The chicken was raw and tough, the Alfredo itself tasted like a frozen meal, just wasn’t appetizing at all.“

“The food was pretty good, with interesting choices. Only 2 or 3 choices for vegetarian. The hummus was ok for the US, with warm mini naans . The quinoa was also nice.
The service was kinda amateur, with steak knife coming much later and also the waitress made no connection between the ask not to have black pepper seasoning and the fact that the entire dish was simmered in hot sauce...
The atmosphere outside is great but the mosquitoes definitely ruined it for me“

“Was a great experience, from the food, to the servers and hostess, 11/10 would definitely go back🤩🙌🏾🔥😮‍💨😋🤤“

“The “pop up” Southern buffet offered before the Bonnie Raitt concert was wonderful. Great song themes associated with southern-style offerings. We chose the 4:30 seating to allow ample time to enjoy our meal and wander a bit before the concert.“
