It was really good and flavorful! These bowls are served with toast of choice if desired. I love this cozy place but I must say that I've come and have had a burger for lunch and that I would never do again. Breakfast is their thing and this they do well! I love the jams that they sell I always grab one or two and love the ambience here. It can get quite busy at times and they handle it great! Many love their specialty hotcakes and I can see why they the flavors alone sound amazing ! Some are cinnamon brown sugar, pineapple upside down, chocolate chip banana, chocolate chip, cinnamon roll, strawberry shortcake, Oreo cookie, fruity berry, cinnamon caramel apple, blueberry cheesecake, strawberry cheesecake, banana pudding, blueberry, raspberry swirl and plain of course! Todd and Shelly's are famous for these hotcakes! Stop in and check it out a real family friendly restaurant that is warm and inviting!

Stella's continues to impress with fresh ingredients and absolutely incredible bread. I wasn't sure since it being 2 years since I was here if they would have the breakfast I had last time. I was surprised they did have it so I ordered the Spanish Egg Breakfast, which came with arugula, chorizo, heirloom tomatoes, ciabatta toast, and a preserve. The eggs were perfectly cooked, the chorizo added a great smoky-spicy kick, and the heirloom tomatoes were sweet and juicy. The arugula balanced everything out with a slight peppery bite, and the ciabatta toast was just amazing--crispy on the outside, soft inside, and perfect with the preserve. I also had the Jamón Serrano Sandwich & split it with my bf. It was just as good as it sounds. The jamón serrano, manchego, and basil pesto were a perfect combination--savory, nutty, and herby--all sandwiched between that same incredible ciabatta. Every bite was fresh and flavorful. The atmosphere is cozy, and the service was friendly, though the wait was a little longer than expected. Still, the quality of the food made up for it. Definitely won't wait as long to return next time!

It looks like a store from the outside but I did see someone sitting inside sipping wine so I was intrigued. As you walk in, there is a spacious seating area at the front of the store. Then it kind of transitions into a market store. There is a counter you order food at and pay for items. There is a small bar with seating next to that as well. We browsed the market items and picked up a couple of items. We went to the counter to pay and that is when I realized you can order food and drinks. If you order something that takes time to prepare, it is brought to you at a table. Since I ordered a glass of wine, I just waited there for it and went to sit. Hubs retrieved a beer from the fridge. The owner was the individual we interacted with and he was very pleasant. There was constant traffic the entire time we were there so I hope that means they will remain in business. The prices were not too crazy and it is a perfect place to have a drink and/ or gourmet snacks. I definitely want to return and try other items on the menu.

Very neat interior, and clean. Helpful server. Very nice music…read more The food was OK, served fresh and hot. BUT.... it was not very flavorful, kind of bland. I had onion soup which is supposed to be their specialty. The cheese was melted but not browned as I like to see and broth was light in flavor. We both decided we like the onion soup at a popular chain steakhouse better. I had the meatloaf... not a lot of flavor, kind of boring. My wife had liver and onions and said it had a lot of veins in the meat. We wanted to get he bread pudding which had a wonderful description, but they didn't have any. We'll go back , but will try other entrees, and no onion soup. it seems like most other restaurants these days have a more modern flare for flavor, with exciting flavor bursts in meals. This place seems stuck in history a number of years back. Again not bad (except for my wife's entree) but boring. We saw some other entrees that we have hope for so we will give it another shot in a while.

Chicken fingers and chicken wings. Oh yeah!…read more As with this chain the decor is cool, plenty of seating, fast friendly service, and as others have mentioned the place is super clean. We both ordered the "Traditional Wings & Things" meal. Comes with five wings tossed in a choice of sauce with ranch on the side, three chicken fingers with their Zax sauce, Texas toast, crinkle cut fries, and a small fountain drink. Calorie overload but so good. Considering it's basically a fast food chain the eats here are pretty decent. You don't come here on a diet, you come here to devour.

That's a solid amount of food for $7.99. No complaints there. And listen... I REALLY wanted to try that peach cobbler roll. TikTok has been hyping it up like crazy. The app said my order would be ready in five minutes and that I could head to the drive thru. I pulled up in exactly five minutes, and my food was ready. Hot and fresh. Love that for me. The fish sandwich was good (though I probably should've added cheese). The fries? Always on point. The mozzarella sticks had that satisfying cheese pull we all hope for. And that peach cobbler roll? Whew. So good. Like... actually good. I'm glad I got to try it. Now let's talk about the Diet Dr Pepper. It was crispy and very fizzy, no issues there. I only gave it another shot because of that girl on TikTok who made up a whole jingle about Dr Pepper. After a few sips, I remembered why I'm not really a fan. But that had nothing to do with Arby's , it was not flat. The server at the window was friendly, and there were no cars in the drive thru, so I didn't have to wait at all. I hadn't been to Arby's in over a year, but this $7.99 box brought me back. So when people ask, "Who is keeping Arby's in business?" It's me. I'm people. Their food is always on point.
