    Menu: Also updated regularly - ingredients mostly donated from local farmers! Pretty freakin awesome.
    Emily L.

    FINALLY made it to Big Big Table and what a treat it was! The concept of this nonprofit restaurant is beautiful: pay what or 'as' you can. That may be $2, or maybe it's washing some dishes in the back. The menu rotates regularly, and is largely based off of what ingredients were donated (from local farmers and growers!) that week. The staff are super friendly and sweet, I was made to feel so comfortable and even had the luck of being there at the same time as the founder - Mandy! Who is a literal ray of sunshine to match the yellow walls of the space. Also, if you were wondering - yes, the name of this place IS after the song Big Big House. IYKYK. It's been stuck in my head since drove down there, haha. It was a cold day so I took some roasted garlic cauliflower soup to go, and it was a great decision. Compliments to the chef! It warmed me right up and was packed with flavor and a little bit of kick. Sure it's not the most visually stunning, but I promise it made up for it in flavor and texture. This place is a great spot for lunch, and an even better place to frequent if your looking for community. I was made to feel at home as soon as I walked in the door being held open for me by one the neighborhood regulars. Especially after just having celebrated MLK Day, it harkens back to his dream of a "Beloved Community". Can't wait to go back!

They give you the tools, space and instruction to do it yourself. The prices can't be beat, by far. They have used or new parts (and take donations of bikes and parts) available in the workshop. I replaced 2 cables, opening one shifter, learning how they work and following how they are attached to the bike. It was a great experience. I had a goofy grin on the whole time. I was ecstatic to finally get down and dirty to the guts of my bike. The place is housed in an old police station with bikes surrounding the entrance, literally hanging around. I highly recommend bringing your used bikes here as donations and using the workshop to repair your bikes. It was so much cooler than just dropping my bike off to be fixed by someone, although they will do that for you, you don't have to do it yourself. It's just a unique option to learn while doing the work yourself.

    NOT RECOMMENDED! Went there with my wife and family for a…read moresurprise for mother's day gift. Since we adopted two brothers last year from them. This time, the service and attitude from the older volunteer staff was very rude and challenging. After we expressed which cat we're interested in and then said that she's bonded with another, so we would have to get both. They asked how many cats we have (understandable question), I replied the two brothers. My son has one (unrelated from the brothers) and will be moving out this summer. The older volunteer staff then stated, "well maybe you should wait and see what happens" with her attitude... What does that mean!? Who the hell are they to tell me what's best for my family! So we left with a disappointed wife. One thing is for sure, they did not like me asking questions about any treatments, diseases or medical conditions on record. The living conditions is subpar. It is filthy, smells horrible and I would question if there are too many animals inside that small building. Maybe the Human Society of Greater Niagara or Niagara SPCA or even the Town of Pendleton should be contacted to check on things...

    My daughter fell in love with a cat this past weekend while we were donating food. We applied to…read moreadopt him and were initially told we were approved but when we showed up to take him home they denied us because we told them we don't typically give canned food. Not that it was off the table just that it's not typical for us. There was no discussion it was an automatic decline and my daughter was devastated. I was so sad for her and the cat. I have owned cats for over 20 years and worked in the vet industry for over 6 years. I am appalled that they didn't trust us and left my daughter crying. To say we were approved and then to deny us when we showed up was absolutely cruel and they should be ashamed of themselves. This is not how a rescue operation should run and I will absolutely never support them again.

This is where Sharp Human Resources comes in. Karen's insights were exactly what I needed to figure out my next career move. When I found myself unexpectedly unemployed a few years ago, my regular therapist referred me to Karen. I immediately set up an appointment within a week. Even though we met only once, my meeting with Karen changed the course of my career path for the better. We met at Panera at the time, and for an hour, we worked to pinpoint what I truly wanted out of a job. Karen suggested I use Truity.com to utilize their career profile surveys, and that I think about what I truly wanted to do for work. Using these prompts and my survey results, I tailored my job search around these traits. This story has a very happy ending, as I found a job that I love, one that plays to the strengths we pinpointed at our meeting. If you find yourself in need of career counseling, I highly recommend Karen for her insight and services. This is another case of a five star review for a business I hope to never need again, but in the event that I do, I will happily book another appointment. It can be tough to find a job no matter the circumstances that led you to looking for another job, and it's reassuring to have a knowledgeable career counselor in your corner.
