I was not a fan of the Chicken Francaise it was more of a thin butter sauce than the white wine lemon sauce that was describe. I will stick with the to pizza, sandwiches and salad next time.“

“Italian mix with roasted red peppers and prosciutto was likely the best sub ive ever had. The amount of meat is unparalleled. It was basically a titanic meat boat! Bread is amazing, but small, which I love because I'm a guy who watches his carbs. The quality was unlike anything I've ever had. Great family working there with an amazing little store. Highly recommend pairing a nice dry red wine with this sub!!!“

“First timer visit on a family members recommendation. Four star food and service so that is impressive. Five stars for the gal who greeted and seated our seven member party. She was super nice beyond what you can reasonablly expect these days. The french toast was good. The italian toast, bacon and egss were also solid. The standout was the potatos served with the eggs. Cooked to perfection and tasty to boot. Everyone enjoyed the food. The coffee was just okay but it was hot. My only objection was that the place had a smell to it that indicated it might not be regularly cleaned. My wife noticed it as well. Still, in an era where a good breakfast place is increasingly hard to find we overlooked this and the greeter and the food made up for it. Check it out for yourself.“

It was hot enough it had to cool off a bit(mind you it's 0 degrees tonight lol) for a freshness reference. Delivery guy was a great guy also. The pizza looked great. Thin crusty and slightly well the way I like it. The ONLY thing I can suggest is a bit of improvement on the sauce please a little more flavor and this pizza would be a 10. We will definitely order again.“

“Food was great, poor service though. The person at the counter seemed very unenthusiastic. Also it seems like they want the customer to handle everything. "Ask for garlic knots to be heated" " mention the special when ordering" these are things the resteraunt should be doing as a "thank you for being our customer". I ordered a 24 cut and garlic knots on a Tuesday and didn't get a discount with thier special (6 free knots) because I didn't bring it up, because I didn't know about it.“
