“We had chef Brandon cater our daughters backyard graduation and it was outstanding. Everyone was complimenting the food, especially the jambalaya croquettes. My favorites were the chicken marsala and salmon Piccata. Everything was well-seasoned, flavorful and ready to be served when delivered. I would recommend chef Brandon for your catering needs. Thanks for a memorable party.“

Whether eating in the Cafe or getting take-out we're always happy with the service from the staff. My wife needs gluten free options and this is our favorite place in the area to reliably have great options.

My personal favs are an omelet with spinich, tomato, and feta cheese for breakfast or the fresh caprese sandwich (sometimes I add a burger patty) for lunch/dinner. And the homefries are AMAZING.“

“T 23 is a solid favorite of mine!
Indoor Service has always been fast, friendly and excellent for the entire length of business operations from their inception, but several times that I’ve sat outside with friends, the server has been neglectful. But other than that deficiency, indoor experiences have always been top-notch with both servers and food quality. Ambiance is that of a pub with one big open room and there’s always a lively vibe flowing about.“

“Been dining on quite a few burgers recently, so not too sure why I chose a burgeristic gift card as a reward for taking part in a political survey. But I figured that this Bacon & Cheese Fondue Burger was the most unique on the menu (wasn't in the mood for ribs, fish, or chicken), & I was right! All the ingredients were tasty, fresh, & presented well, plus service was great.“

“So me and my family are up here this weekend for my wife's college reunion thing and she suggested Applebee's. It's close by the college and we wanted some good food before we head back to the hotel. Our waitress was phenomenal. I can't give her enough praise, attentive, patient (there was nine of us), plus she served two other tables around us. I gotta say the food wasn't as good as I had hoped. To me it's a hit or miss with boneless or regular wings. Either they're too saucy or not enough sauce. These were too saucy and my pasta was too saucy as well. My wife complained about the chip being stale as well. The ambience was good. Wasn't too to crowded but with a big family we bring the crowd with us usually. The staff was definitely accommodating so I really enjoy that.

Kid-friendliness: This was definitely a family friendly vibe as more families were there versus single people at the bar.“
