“We went through the drive through and they explained every item on the menu to us since it was our first time. Then we sat in the little play area and ate. The cheese sticks, gizzards were fantastic but OMG!!!! The funnel cake I had ( Kevin Bacon) was to die for. I can’t wait to go again. I highly recommend this place ♥️

Kid-friendliness: My grandkids lost their minds with how big their treats were. Plus they got to play while they waited and played during and played after. I actually got to enjoy my treats because they were entertained. Very fun place!“

“A True Hidden Gem – 10/10!

I’ve passed this place so many times and had no idea what I was missing. I finally stopped in, and now I’m kicking myself for not coming sooner! From the moment I walked in, the service was unmatched—the hostess, waitress, and even the owner were all incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming.

The food is phenomenal. Do yourself a favor and try the empanadas—they’re out of this world. The atmosphere is also something special: a unique blend of cozy, artistic, and upscale with a whiskey bar and art gallery inside. It’s unlike anything else in the valley.“

“great selection of food. great and friendly service good price“

“Está muy bien, lo único que piden mejorará es el personal está del caos no todos pero si varios y también que tengan doctor peper“

“This was my first time dining in and the place is really clean, the restrooms are clean as well. They have your order ready in under a minute. Apart from having fast service, they have great customer service! I think the best part about this place is the awesome customer service, and that’s saying a lot because the food is good. As we were leaving, Michaela, the kind lady that took our order offered us some free fro-yo samples! Michaela gave us a 10 out of 10 dinning experience, the best i’ve had in a long time actually. People like her make your business better. Great place to grab a quick bite!“

“I was at the bar waiting for my table to be ready. I accidentally left my credit card there and I went into the main room to have dinner and bartender never brought my card over and I lived over an hour away. I had to go back to the next day to grab my card. I thought that was Bad service. I know it's my responsibility, but I thought I'd of, courtesy he would've brought it over“

“I had a good experience at Denny’s restaurant on University Drive In Edinburg this morning. Samantha, our server, constantly checked on us. She always made sure to be cheerful and attentive. Cassie, a server not assigned to us, had an ever-present smile. Her smile radiated so brightly that it lit up the mood of my friend and me. These two young ladies made our visit to this place extremely pleasant. I recommend sitting at the bar. The bar is where the staff assembles to retrieve their orders. It is where you will always see smiling faces. Here is where they have more of an opportunity to face you and gift you with a kind comment or beam another bright smile in your direction.“

“Just moved to the area and as I was driving around, I ran into this neat little café. Right away, it caught my attention, so I decided to come in and see what they had to offer. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly. It feels so cozy and reminds me of going to my grandmother's house on Sundays. Being here, we decided to try out their panchos, and I must say, wow, just so tasty! I highly recommend this little café and everything they have to offer.“

“🥰 I have been to so many restaurants and this one is by far on my top 3. The mussels and steak here are amazing and its a beautiful restaurant with romantic atmosphere. I definitely would love to come back one day :)“

“This is our third time here. The wait to be seated was 15 min, which was fine. The waiter and I couldn't hear each other. There were so many tvs going with different programs. One is enough? The service was great, and the food came out in a timely manner even though it was a busy Friday night.
We ordered:
1. Queso dip - good, but order with no tortillas and more chips.
2. Burger - good as expected
3. Cobb salad with shrimp- good, but the shrimp were overcooked.
4. Lava cake - the best“

“Me encanta y es muy saludable y aparte las chicas son muy amables. Todo en excelencia.“

“This is my new favorite snack place, they don't gouge you on prices the food was fresh and tasty , I ordered a he nachos with extra jalapenos, small elote cup, and a cherry rasps fornall three it was around $8 but i left a tip because the service was that good. Highly reccomend.“

“I would only recommend the burgers . Everything else didn’t even have a morsel of salt . Onion rings were too greasy . Fries bland. Corn dog was just a boiled weenie with batter . Fried chicken was juicy but AGAIN bland , But the burgers were definitely 10/10“

“Great food! This location is good; however, I had a bad experience once where the worker took my order with food gloves on, proceeded to give me back my change in coins with the food gloves on then to and touch and make the sandwich

She was in a bad mood and giving everyone attitude before so I didn’t feel like getting into something since I was in a bad mood that day also“

“Best coffee in the area. Large space, good for working on your computer. Our favorite for coffee and tea. Hope they add some sugar free or low sugar snack items for the high number of local diabetics.“

“Food was ok. Beans were bland but was better when added the salsa they give you. Got the omelette but eggs were over cooked. They should never have brown on them. The Shipwreck was better.( eggs, bell peppers, bacon, onion and cheese all scrambled together). The best thing about the place was the cinnamon roll! It's huge and tastes great. Daughter loved it.“

“Nice place to hang out and Yasmeen Munoz was very nice and friendly“

“Hesitated to go because of the reviews. But this place is GOOD. The waitress with the red hair was kool and polite. Good portions of food and all. Was told this was an old place and have to visit when in the valley. Will come back next visit.“
