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! ♥️“

“Stopped in to Aubrey's while staying one night in oak ridge. Host staff was average. Our server was excellent. We both got entree salads. Portions were large and ingredients were fresh. The kale salad was fantastic. I added tuna steak. It was cooked perfect, a bit salty. Wife got asian salad with chicken. We would both order the same dishes again. This is a great casual restaurant. One complaint- the dining room is carpeted, and A LOT of trash on the floor. Also trash around the wood floor at the host station. This was a Tuesday at 6,pm, they were busy but need to fix that.“

“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“

“I love the service here. David is amazing. My family and I come in all different days and times. I went for lunch and got the club sandwhich, it was delicious! We went for dinner and got the steaks, they are usually cooked perfectly, I would recommend getting an 8 ounce instead of 6 because those usually are not the best looking or cut nicely. They tend to have the grisle and cut at odd angles that dont cook properly. I love their garlic mash. The broccoli is always cooked perfectly. The southwest salad combines just the right heat with the crispness of salad.“

“I had to think long and hard about how many stars to give this review. The food is ok, but the kitchen is often very slow. The reason I finally gave it a 5 is the servers, especially Amanda and Kala. They are incredible. No matter how bad the back of the house gets, they work to heep the customer happy. As tough as being a server already is, I am amazed at how well they do with the obstacles their own Kitchen throws their way. Keep up the good work ladies“
