The food is excellent wait staff friendly . Doesn’t take long for your food no matter what you order. Go here every week or more. Great place. Sometimes noon hour can be packed. But still fast
Cheyenne was an amazing waitress , she was kind and quick with service, definitely made sure I had everything I needed. Best service I've had in a long time.
Boneless hot wings and a mudslide is the best combo ever ! Especially after a hard day of work. Definitely my new favorite spot for after work drinks.
Sit at the bar . Pretty much every bartender here is amazing! Great conversationalists, great service, and always good food!
Free Wi-Fi, open late every night but Sunday, and being remodeled. Stop in and check it out....
The food is excellent there and the server did a excellent job at taking care of her customers.
$1 drink specials most months lately... come for the drinks, stay for the food!
The firecracker Shrimp . Pasta says is a new spicy dish . Bummed...not one ounce spicy ....
Ask for Israel, he is an awesome waiter and a great people person.
Make sure you grab Wali as your server! Great smile and great service!
Even more bummed that the cook didn't or couldn't follow what we thought were clear requests: no seasoning (and salt is a seasoning) on fries , and quesadilla with just cheese .
This place has great food & service friendly waitress & wait staff .
Jodi at bar was incredible server and just amazing with my 11 year old daughter. Best service person I can remember this year!
2 for $20 queso blanco , three cheese chicken penne !
Try the margarita with the Coronita drip. #boombaby
Mauricio is the best waiter ever! Get the triple meltdown for dessert !
Lory is my very favorite waitress at this restaurant !!!
Usually our food and service has been good at this location. For whatever reason, not so much tonight. We'll still come back.
Cheeseburger Quesadilla is delicious!!
Don't sit in the middle where it feels like you're sitting right with other people. Need better partitions.
"Do you have IPA on tap ?" "What's an IPA ?" EATING GOOD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Bummed that they don't have the pick two option.
Blue coconut Margarita is amazing!
Server was too worried about making plans with girlfriend instead of serving. If try to sit you in Eli's section asked to be moved or you might wait 20 minutes for a refill on your drink.
My favorite one!
Eli was great today...he rocked service!!!!
Wednesday night is kid's night. 99cent kid meals . Booyah.
The new potato twisters are to die for!
The potato twisters are delicious!
Nice spot!!
Great food!
Monty is the bomb!
Service and food were fine.
Seven oz. serloin with shrimp....mmmmm
No public wi-fi at this location.
Didn't get waited on, so we left. Other tables around us did.
Love our favorite bartender Caroline!!
The dining room is absolutely freezing whenever its not busy because of customers' body heat, and I brought home a takeout meal to find a blatantly obvious hair on my food. Not going back.
Not the greatest service. Almost forgot to seat us and messed up the order.
The service sucks.
Good deals by the front door! Not too big, not too small. Good location to use! - Estepha Francisque
Huge space to chill or work and not as crowded as other locations - Estepha Francisque
Drive thru is always busy. Don’t plan on picking up a mobile order via drive-thru because your drink will get cold! - Jackson Fedosa
Great breakfast menu. Service was good. Gotta visit the other locations. - ???????????????? ????.
Double decker patio and excellent wait staff. The nachos with brisket are my favorite in town! - Robbie Helzer
Awesome food, great specials, and a fun atmosphere. I can't wait to go back. - Steve Wright
Merle Hay Villa Fresh Italian Kitchen has a secret menu item, Reese Peanut Butter cup pie, packaged in indivdual servings. But you have to ask for it. - Mer Mall
Check out the gelato at Chocolaterie Stam - they have over 100 flavors they rotate through. My faves include Cannoli, Chocolate PB, Birthday Cake, & Italian Wedding Cake. - Kristine
Good clearance section usually. The cashiers are always pretty friendly - Orchid
