“Great service, great food. I have never been disappointed when I order from Riffs. I try to make it at least once a week if not more. They are like family. Keep up the good work.“

“This morning 570 Jeeps Tri-State Chapter stopped in to fill up before a long day on the trails. I’d like to thank Kevin and the other short order cook for manning the grill and the awesome wait staff and prep people. Thanks for having us!“

“saffron and damian! 👏 pizza and service!“

“One.of my favorite places! Great drinks, amazing bar staff, friendly.owners, great live music! we love to hangout there! Great pizza!“

“Stopped in with the family for a quick breakfast and left with mixed feelings. The pumpkin pancakes were a seasonal treat—warm, spiced, and fluffy. Chocolate pancakes were a hit with the kids, and the breakfast sampler offered a solid variety.

Unfortunately, the coffee was weak and forgettable, and the fried eggs weren’t quite right—undercooked so go one level up when ordering. Service was fast, though, and the atmosphere was casual and kid-friendly.

The real win? IHOP’s rewards program. Easy to use and surprisingly generous, especially if you’re a frequent visitor. For a fast, kid-approved breakfast with a few standout items, it’s worth a stop—just know what you are in for.“

“My daughter and I have been going to Native for dinner several years now. Always surprised and enjoy the newly created dishes. We had the Salmon Ravioli last night. Excellent. Waiting for the Mushroom and Goat cheese ravioli to come back on the menu. Compliments to the chef and his whole staff.“

“Yummy food! I sadly haven’t been to them since they closed down a few years ago, but the reopening food is delicious! I got the Texas burger and fries for around $9.

It looks like the prices have gone down since looking at previous menu prices. They also scaled back their menu, possibly because they just opened, they may bring back the full menu soon. Looking forward to the success of Carwanna!“

“RECOMMEND if you want your meal ruined and get ignored and leave hungry! Awful experience! Rude staff! Ignored us for almost an hour and would not bus open tables. We cleaned our own and got ourselves cutlery and menus. They ignored us longer and left us at a filthy table while others came in and were served. They said they were understaffed . People kept getting clams (clam night) and then we heard a waiter say no more clams. No excuse for this nastiness! I will tell everyone about this experience. Totally ignorant! Stay away! RUDE! Especially 2 female servers.“

“The food is fantastic! The staff is friendly and the bartender makes great drinks.“

“Went in to break Passover with a Bacon Cheeseburger (hey, we all have our own traditions, right? 😀). I ordered the Renegade Burger—and got waaay more than I bargained for. This thing was HUGE...and DELICIOUS! I barely made a dent and took home enough for at least another meal. Very welcoming crowd, and I definitely would go back again (but next time I'd order a smaller burger!)“

“Chicken parm is fantastic. Got it with vodka sauce per the waitresses recommendation and it was even better. Soups Were excellent. Steak Was cooked perfect. Excellent service. Definitely going back.“

“I stopped in to grab dinner while I was working. I took a seat at the bar and ordered the steamed clams with a soda chaser. The bartender Lauren was friendly, the clams were delicious and the conversation with the couple at the bar was pleasurable. The place had great atmosphere is deceptively large inside. I'm definitely stopping here again when I have the time.“

“We are in town for a wedding and chose this place because they make a vegan pizza. It's not an after thought or something to placate the one vegan friend in the group. It's thoughtful and delicious and filling. There's no fake cheese, just all whole ingredients. My nonvegan husband really liked the carrot puree. Definitely will be back when we're in the area.“

“We had such a great experience, brought our two dogs and they were treated like royalty! The nicest most attentive staff too! The had a couple apps and drinks, the food was very good and we enjoyed drinks out on the back patio. It was a cozy place and we all enjoyed our first time visit very much!“

“Quick turnaround on your order. I would definitely stick with steamed dumplings vs. Fried. Crab Rab appetizer are medium size not very large. LO mein was delicious Snrimp Egg foo young ..delicious ask for flat not chucky. General chicken good. I wish they offered the General shrimp on delivery menu . We pick up bi weekly or monthly from here yet I hv not asked if they can do the generals shrimp in a brown garlic sauce as that is fabulous and my go to. If I don't stick with veggies. Try and Enjoy!
