    Avalena's Lemonade (with alcohol)
    Caren B.

    I love Avalena's! I have been coming since it opened. The food and drinks are always so good as well as the staff. My favorite staff member is Courtney. She is always so friendly and makes the best drinks! She is also good at drink suggestions and I trust her to make me whatever she would like.

    Stopped by on a busy Saturday night and still got a table right away. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and the Hawaiian pizza was great! Even though it was understandably loud because of the game and crowd, is wasn't so loud that you had to yell to be heard, which was really nice. Only cons were that the drink/food menus and table were super sticky, and they primarily had IPAs on draft (though that might be a pro for others!)...but otherwise a solid experience and definitely want to go back!

    I absolutely recommend Avalenas!! We got the chicken pot pie, and a burger. Both of them were delicious, and my friend and I are picky eaters. I might even dare to say the best mashed potatoes l've had, and I could live off mashed potatoes! Our waitress was attentive, personable, and made our visit a fun one - if you go, ask for Christine! Thanks Avalenas for the awesome time, you have made a new regular!

    Try their giant pretzel  YUM!

    Service at the bar isn't great but food was good. Bartender was overwhelmed - waited 15 minutes and then waived her down.

The food and service were not up to snuff, as our waitress was rather slow and inattentive. The salad I ordered was STILL not correct in that it featured items which I specifically asked to be removed. I did note that my salad was brought out in a bowl and not a sheet pan, which was an improvement over last time. The thing was that there were less than 10 people in the restaurant at the time as we arrived around noontime and I would have thought that the waitstaff would have had the time to attend to us in a proper fashion, but they were content to mill about close to the bar area. The drinks were OK and though not spectacular, were still good and met with my expectations. Apparently, management has yet to take appropriate steps to ensure that the waitstaff is attentive and the food is brought out properly. My wife ordered things that were more in line with this restaurant's strengths and she thought everything was fine, but as with the last time I was here, it seemed that little attention was paid to dishes that are not fried or battered in some way. While I realize that it is impossible to be all things to all people, when I order something at a restaurant, I expect it to be perfect considering the prices. All in all, I will not be returning to this place unless some serious improvements are made not only in the quality of the dishes, but in the attentiveness of the staff.

But I was not impressed this time as it had way too much pineapple juice which overpowered all the other flavors. As an appetizer, my friend and I ordered the Philly cheese steak egg rolls. We were there just in time to get 1/2 off apps as long as we signed up to be members (for free). With signing up, we also got $5 off our bill, and our waitress mentioned that they constantly release good coupons/deals. The Philly cheese steak egg rolls were very good - cheesy, savory, crispy, and the dipping sauce almost tasted like buffalo and ranch so it added a creamy and spicy flavor to the rolls. I was not hungry enough to order an entrée, but my friends ordered the chicken and waffles and steak tip dinner. The chicken was a little bland in my opinion, but still moist and crispy. The waffles were a tad bit too sweet, where added syrup was an overkill. I prefer when the waffle isn't as spicy so the syrup can make up for it. There are lots of tables inside - low tops, high tops, bar seating, and booths - as well as TVs to watch sports. They also have tables with umbrellas outside on their patio area. There is plenty of parking and it is easy on / easy off from the highway. Our waitress was very engaging and brought us everything we needed.
