My husband & I do Thursday date nights, to avoid the crowds and found Izumi to over half full and saw at least 6-8 to go orders served while we ate.

“A family member of ours was not doing well health wise and requested steak and mushrooms for one of his last meals. We called Courthouse Pub before they even opened and asked if they’d be able to do this- and 30 minutes later he had his steak smothered in mushrooms and said it was delicious. On behalf of our family we wanted to say a huge thank you to Courthouse Pub for helping us out so quickly, and for providing one more amazing meal for someone so important to us.”

“Paul and Barbara are great people. They are trail blazers when it comes to making healthy, nutritious bread. I began buying their bread around 1979 from Rainbow Natural Foods in Chicago. I thank them for the products they provided for the many years. They paved the way for the others who make healthy bread.”

“We used Broken Plate Catering for our holiday party this year, and it was exceptional. The food was amazing, hot, and fresh. They were amazing to work with as far as setting up the menu and answering the many questions I had. When I went in to pay, even the waitstaff that was there were extremely friendly to talk to. We will definitely be using them for any other events in the future. Thank you so much for the amazing experience. The Staff at Tiny Treasures Christian Childcare”

“Family of 4. We went to The Wharf on Tuesday 6/30 at 1130am. My kids shared a 4 pc. chicken tender meal ($14) instead of seperate 2 pc kids meals ($9/ea). The chicken was delicious and came with enough fries for all 4 of us to share. My wife and I both got the Perch Sandwich ($12/each, just sandwich no fries) which comes on a brioche bun, but i got mine on Texas Toast as I dont like Brioche. The sandwiches were fantastic. Tarter sauce is excellent, as was the Ranch. Our total was $40, no drinks, just water. It would be nice if they had table side service instead of a order/pickup window. Also would like if they had an indoor area with AC as it was hot and muggy with no area to get out of it. Overall we really enjoyed The Wharf and will be back if we are in the area!”

“My mom went and ordered some Culver’s for everybody today. She doesn’t usually eat but when she does she orders a Reuben. She orders it with no kraut. EVERYTIME…. And every time she’ll bite into it and there’s kraut. She usually won’t say anything but today she was annoyed. The receipt says no kraut but there was a lot of kraut on it. She just threw it out she was mad. But the food is always great”
Buffet • $
“I heard Ryan Joseph Denault speak highly of this place, so I decided to check it out, the pizza was fantastic and hit the spot just right. The staff was nice and neat they picked up as soon as possible. The pizzas are now always restocked since the new manager had started running the place. I recommended this place. The one thing that bothers me though is the pricing, it's a little much don't you think?”

“I want to just complement the young lady who was taking orders up front! Her customer service is outmatched and the way she handles customers is extremely wonderful! The way she handled things while being short staffed and still managed to be so kind is amazing 🤩 I hope she does bigger and better things in life she’s too good for Popeyes. Food was top tier as always”

“I am sad because the staff are always so nice but most of the time my order isn't right. Today, I ordered a cranberry orange muffin (the ONLY reason I ordered a muffin was because I wanted to try that one) and got a blueberry....and there is definitely no caramel in my iced coffee, it's just cream and coffee. Sometimes when I go, my coffee is so perfect and delicious, and the staff is always so nice but it's few and far between lately. I want to recommend them but I am scared to because my order is rarely correct. Tired of spending money and not getting what I ordered :(”
