My first time here was the night before and it was SO good I had to come back! Even brought my dog so he could eat some eggs and sausage. The food here is top notch in flavor. Everything so fresh and hot and they make sure all of your items are in the bag. Absolutely delicious, new favorite place to eat!
5 star for the food! Chicken teriyaki salad had everything I love! Great flavor!! Eskimo waffles and hot chocolate is amazing! 5 star for environment/decorations. 4 star only because the service isn’t consistent / too easy going. 4 star for cleanliness. Overall, they’re always busy and have good food.
Great time was had! My son (19 year old college student) went for the first time. I have been there a ton beginning when I was in college. He said he really liked the vibe. Hes one of the quiet nerdy types
This was good enough for me to go back and try something else.
