I've been given hard times at other places about my order. I've been given rolled eyes, been talked about(as if they weren't 5 ft from me), and almost made to feel bad about my preference. They treated me with kindness and respect and made sure to check on me multiple times. All around, VERY good people here!“

Ice Cream Cone

“Our first time & we were happy with it! The only thing I’ll say is… We about didn’t even go. Everywhere you look there’s mixed information about them being in business versus closed permanently. My Apple Maps & Yelp both said permanently closed. A quick google said open with hours being updated 2 months ago. Almost everything else pointed to them being out of business… The FB page doesn’t have any recent activity. There’s no reviews from this year. It’s easy to assume that maybe they closed their doors for good sometime between last summer to fall. Just saying, because I’m sure we can’t be the only ones that have (almost) skipped out on this place due to the above. Glad we didn’t! The outdoor setting in Jackson Square is cute & the kid loved the pigsss… getting ice cream is always a fun little activity. I’m sure we’ll return. Onlookers… THEY ARE OPEN! ♥️“

“This Aubrey's is my goto when I want a quick, delicious meal. I'm a huge fan of the pizza Rockefeller however I switched it up this time and went for the Raging Cajun chicken sandwich with chips. Holy cow, I was not prepared for that much food. For $16, I will say you get your money's worth. The chips were the recommendation of my server, Nicole and they did not disappoint. Poured a smidge of my ranch over the chicken breast and it was amazing. This may be my new goto combo. Absolutely worth the cost.

“Since Panera discontinued the Italian sandwich, I have been ordering the same thing for 10 years: a deli turkey sandwich with only deli turkey, fresh mozzarella, and mayo. However, they recently discontinued that sandwich too. I asked if they could ring it up as a turkey bravo or the new Italian and substitute ciabatta for the tomato bread. Despite my specific instructions, 5 times might I add checking to make sure he got it correctly. they gave me a regular bacon turkey bravo with tomato bread, which made me very mad. I also did not receive the chips and drink I paid for. And he also did not give me a receipt It's litterly White bread, Turkey, and you can throw some mayo packets at me I don't even care if it the country white bread I even went in and ask if they could change it they refused because it was dinner time even tho I said I don't mind waiting I already waiting an hour The only item worth buying on their menu anymore is the bagels the reason I cared so much is because I have alergys to certain foods so it wasn't like I could just take it and eat it So, i will not be going back after today“
