“We love the food as much as the people at Tandem - or is it the other way around? Either way, Tandem is our “happy place!” Sitting at the counter and watching their well-oiled machine in action is amazing. They have crepe and coffee making down to a science - and the smiles of the crew are an art form that glorify God!“

“We had a party of 10 stop in today 4/12/2025. We waited forever to get someone to wait on us. The food was terribly disgusting The pork chop looked like it had been in water for days and it smelled sour. 3 of us ordered Grilled pork chop Mashed potatoes, cream corn, Mac and cheese were nasty. The cucumber salad was slimy. pinto beans were straight out of the can not heated up or season at all. Someone in our party ordered a tuna sandwich that took forever it was straight out of a can no season at all we got it as we were leaving My first and last trip ever to this restaurant. We spent 80.00 and didn't even eat the food. We left the food on the table. We shouldn't have paid for it but we didn't want to argue so we got up paid and left. This restaurant needs to be closed down.“

“Great food. Everyone is so accommodating“

“Had supper here last week with a friend. It was pretty good! I got the Rocky Balboa burger, and he got a Philly Cheesesteak. My burger had a fried egg and bacon on top. The bacon was VERY salty, so it overpowered the flavor of the burger itself. But the 8 oz of meat was juicy and tender. The onion rings were also delicious. It's definitely worth going back, in my opinion! Especially because they also have two, three, and four-patty burgers! Definitely want to try one of those sometime... ?“

“The cook she was great, the server she was terrible. The server was not friendly at all, bad attitude when she brought our food on 8/10/22 at 6:45 pm the server never came to refresh our coffee and left the cook all alone with all the tables full. Manager needs to pull security and see this. For 25 minutes we never saw her again. We finished our meal and she still was not back. The cook was having to cook, clean tables. wait on customers, she was doing a great job. TR waffle house hope you look at your security footage.“

“Definitely worth a Whistle Stop.“

“My husband and I ate here for valentines & it did not disappoint. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was perfect, and the staff were so polite!“

“Always a home run when we eat here! The fried green tomato sandwich is amazing!“
