“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!“

“This small restaurant in lakewood ny is great. I had a grilled chicken sandwich which was full of flavor. I dont normally get grilled but I have to say it was really good. The people here were super friendly and has like an old school diner feel. If you come here you won't be disappointed. They are only open till 2 I think. But I guess they are great for breakfast cus all I seen when I got here were people getting breakfast and it all look great. Can't wait to come back and try the breakfast. Price isn't to bad for the type of service you get.“

“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“

“The restaurant celebrated recently their 30th Anniversary. Waitress was super experienced having been a long time employee. Remembered whose order was whose when food was delivered. Food was tasty and all 7 in our group thought the breakfast was good and prices were normal. Coffee was good and the waitress returned with refills often. Toast was warm but not hot enough to melt the butter spread on top.“

“Listen. Let’s talk wings. I’m from Atlanta and had no clue wings could taste this good. I got the pan fried Long Island wings and when I saw them I didn’t know if I wanted to make sweet sweet love to them or eat them. After a quick internal debate, I decided I’d eat them to not scare the other patrons away, but I did sneak one out in my pocket for later if you know what I mean. Literally the best wings I’ve ever eaten. Crunchy tangy, perfection. Washed them down with a couple of Southern Tier’s and I was set. Bartender was awesome, waitress was awesome, atmosphere was great. Nothing to complain about here. Get these wings and thank me later!“

“There were three of us having lunch and drinks at the bar. It was very nice and relaxed atmosphere when we got there..not crowded at all. I had a mixed drink that was good..they didn’t have my first choice. The food came out at the same time and was hot and delicious. Everyone there was very friendly and talkative..a very nice place to visit we will return.“

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

“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“

“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.“

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