“We had an amazing experience at Circa. The food was phenomenal, creative and delicious. The service was great, even though a member of our party was very late. They treated us kindly though we were a bit rude for making them wait! Oh, and the cocktails were well balanced and refreshing. This hidden gem was kinda busy on a Tuesday so you may want to call ahead or make reservations. It will be totally worth it!“

“After a day of soccer, we found Scout's down the street from the fields. It's located in a cute town square area with a pond, swings, and grassy area for kids to play. We had a large group of 9 and they seated us right away. We chose to sit on the patio to enjoy the warm afternoon sun and breeze. It's a dog-friendly spot, and our kids loved petting the other guests' dogs (asking for permission of course). The inside is cute as well, but it would have been a little crowded with our larger party. But I could imagine hanging out with friends at the bar or on a date night with my wife. Scout's has a large and diverse menu, so everyone was able to order something to their taste. My son had a smash burger and appetizer of fries, cheese curds, poutine and bacon, my daughter had chicken tenders and Mac N Cheese, I had pizza, and my wife ordered taquitos. They also have a full bar and several craft beers to choose from. I had the Good People IPA, which is one of my faves. The service was excellent. Our server, Lauren, was friendly and attentive. Grabbed empty plates quickly, refilled waters & sodas without asking, and was ready to bring us the next round at just the right time.“

“Visited twice while in TN and I tried Fancy Nancy and Sassy Scotty (my favorite of the two), and loaded baked potato soup (delicious). At another reviewer's suggestion, instead of ordering the sandwich the second time around I just got the scoop and made my own since you get so much more chicken salad with the scoop compared to the sandwich. There were a couple of those little "hard pieces" in the chicken salad but it won't stop me from returning. Everything was great including the little cookie they give you with your meal!“

“Thanks to Edleys on Woodland for their kindness today! My young neice accidentally left her small handbag on the bench, and we were over two hours away when she realized that she'd left it. I called the restaurant and offered to send payment for shipping if they would mail it. They plan on mailing it to her Monday...no charge, compliments of the restaurant! They didn't have to do that, but it is so appreciated, and our food and service were great too. I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you Edleys BBQ!!“
