We celebrate our wedding anniversary there every year! Thank you for treating us like family and for the amazing dining experiences! We cannot wait to see you all again!“

“If I could sum up my perfect dining experience by using one name, it would be Nola’s. It’s brick and cozy with perfect lighting… a small, quaint spot in a charming, picturesque town. The service was great… the staff, kind. The two of us ordered half the menu, but still can’t decide which plate was the best. The combination of flavors and textures was spot on and they know how to cook a steak perfectly. I can’t wait to go back and try the other half of the menu. Highly recommend Nola’s.“

“I'm not a sports fan at all but the vibe here was very nice. Lots of tv's to watch and a bunch of sports memorabilia in the walls.
The workers were all super nice and exactly what you want when you go to a restaurant.
I had the white broccoli and spinach flatbread with some grilled chicken on it and it was very good. It could've benefitted from some seasoning as it was a bit bland, but it is something I would get again.“

“My family and I went to Oneida Dennys 8/15/25. We were greeted right away, sat and got our drinks fairly quickly. Our server Rhonda was an amazing server. She was attentive and polite and get our food order in asap. The food was alright could have been cooked a little longer but it was pretty busy. She asked us if we needed anything more and how our food was. We need more servers like Rhonda! She was exceptional, kept us in mind and was ontop of everything we needed very good.“
