Despite being out of the vodka I wanted for a shot she was very accommodating and knowledgeable for a tasty replacement. She is a peach.“

It’s always our go to on big date nights for the orchestra or concerts. The food is served quickly so you can get on with your night. Great work tonight guys, the meal was exceptional. With love-“

“We had my mom’s 90th birthday party with 28 guests at the Westlake location this morning. Because we are regulars there, Nick the manager bent the rules a wee bit to allow us to have the back area, near the bar for our party right at opening time on a Saturday. The service by wait staff Mary and Lauren was fabulous, every one of us LOVED our food and your hospitality was off the charts! Thank you again for allowing us to have this 90th in the best of all places for our youngest family member (age one) and all the way up! Love, love, love Kitchen Social. Ps. My pimento burger and ceasar salad were ‘da bomb’!“

“Had a family luncheon in the side room on Dec. 27. 10 people. We were all extremely pleased with our experience. Food was very good.

“Just had a great lunch at BJ.’s. Excellent food and our waiter, Michael, was the best!!! I recommend eating here.“

“I recommend for any first timers that are stopping in to order the first dish that pops off the menu, there is no wrong choice. Same goes for the cocktail menu, they’ve got something for everyone. They’ve got two patio’s, a flower shop, and the staff makes you feel like you’ve been stopping in from day one. So, CHECK IT OUT!“

“I stopped in over the summer with my sister for lunch and we were so glad we did, food was absolutely amazing! I told my boyfriend after we have to go there, it is so good! Took him yesterday for his birthday, we are both still talking about it today. He told me he told multiple people at work about it and has been thinking about your cannolis all day and I have been too, best I've ever had. Ever single thing from cocktails to dessert to atmosphere is absolutely amazing, I, we cannot brag about you guys enough! Classy cocktail menu, the char sour and classic old fashioned are a must try. You're selection of bourbon for bourbon lovers is top notch too! Last the food, beet salad, lobster rolls, cassoulet pie are to die for 🤌 have to talk about the cannolis again, one pistachio and one chocolate chip, don't snooze on those if you go! My biggest compliments to the chef. We will definitely be back.“

“great bartenders and amazing food . always great live music and interesting and fun regulars“

“Hands down our favorite place while visiting this area . My husband said it was so good he’d drive the 6 hours just to eat here again. I asked for something prepared a little differently due to an illness and the chef came out to chat with us to make sure! The way he prepared it was perfect! Everyone loved the meals and left overs!“

“Service was without a doubt 5 stars 🌟 We waited for nothing. We didn't ask for anything twice. Honestly, I'm not sure if we asked for anything at all. She was so attentive that she fulfilled needs without being asked to do so.
The appetizers were good, nice, hot, and timely. The apps were chicken nachos and mozzarella sticks 😋 The entrees were good except all fries were lukewarm at best. Literally the only thing wrong with this outing.
The atmosphere was cool. They were busy and a bit crowded but it didn't hinder anything except the fries lol.“

“Been out of state for 5 years was looking forward to eating here again. Food is still pretty good. Nice waitress that let us move to a table when it became apparent my elderly guests wasn't going to be able to get in or out of the booth.

Parking: It's a local parking lot and not dedicated to just the restaurant. Any local event fills it up fast. Get there early.“

“Great food!! Ashley is an awesome server. She is so attentive to our needs. She remembers our order every week.“

“friendly atmosphere great service and the food is excellent“

“Nice taste , liked the shake.“

“Might just be one of the best burgers from a fast food joint that I have ever eaten. The Pretzel Bits were almost as good as the burger. I could eat those all day long. Service was very good and the tables were clean.
I highly recommend Culver's for my overall positive experience and a sublime burger! Will definitely be back.
5 Stars.“

“was there last Saturday had the best fish fry n pierogi dinner... excellent server and the food was not greasy at all ..I had haddock and pierogi's..the coleslaw was very fresh n tasty as well...I highly recommend the fish fry!! definitely 5 stars*“

“Friendly and kind staff! Was looking for an inexpensive option for our family of 9 while passing through. Not only were they accommodating to our rather big party in such a small space but they’re so nice! Small town vibes and friendly conversation everywhere! Then to top it all off the food was exactly what we expected and then some! Great flavors on simple dishes! No notes to be had at all! Thank you guys! If we’re ever passing through again this will be our go to!“

“Wonderful food is a foregone conclusion at the Cabin Club. I’ve never had a bad meal there. Today’s lunch was lobster bisque and the steak salad. Highly recommend both. But what made my lunch a truly wonderful experience was the absolutely phenomenal service. I am a senior with mobility issues. It has been awhile since I was at the restaurant and I completely forgot the front steps. Only three, but still tough for me to climb solo. When another patron mentioned my difficulty to the hostess (SO sorry I didn’t get her name!) she came out and took me around to the side door, where it was much easier to get in. My lunch companion had to duck out early, so this awesome hostess not only helped me go out the side door, she walked me all the way to my car! This sort of kindness, sadly, is in short supply these days. Thank you, Cabin Club and your fantastic staff for going above and beyond!“

“Great local spot. Delicious food & drinks.“

“This is a bar/restaurant. It's a nice place to get some drinks and get dinner. Their menu has a little bit for everyone. They have a good selection of items on their menu....chicken, burgers, wraps, salads, and Mediterranean choices as well. Their food is pretty good and decently priced. They have a very nice patio, which is great when their is nice weather. Part of patio is enclosed/covered if you do not want to sit completely outside. Our waitress was very nice and patient. She checked on us often. The service was quick as well. Definitely check them out.“

“Great food and attentive bar godesses“

“Warm, Friendly local establishment with fantastic staff and service!“

I will definitely eat there again.“

“We had dinner at White Oaks tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I splurged on the twin lobster tails. The very generous sized tails, served with drawn butter, were perfectly cooked, fresh and wonderful. My sides of vegetables and twice baked potato were equally yummy. Dessert was a wonderful creme broulee. Service was spot on professional. One of the best meals I've had in a long time.“
