Something felt like it was missing from me. When my daughter showed interest I set out to find the right barn. After many lessons and visits to countless barns I was on the edge of giving up. When Covid hit I decided it was time to buy my daughter a pony. She fell in love with a little guy named Rocky. He had been abused and was very green but they had an amazing connection. I was reaching out to everyone I knew trying to find someone who could take on this huge project. A well respected restaurant owner I had know and worked with for many years recommended I check out Horse Play Ranch and the resident trainer Ms.H. The first think I LOVED is that the parking lot is on the other side of the street from the facilities meaning a safer environment for horse and rider. Ms. H was finishing up a lesson and I listened in. She was so kind in her corrections of the student and helped her student understand the horses state of mind, how the horses thoughts and feelings were being communicated by his actions. I was so impressed she would have had me right there. When she greeted us she paid a ton of attention to my daughter and made her feel REALLY important. I moved Rocky there right away and enrolled my daughter in lessons. My daughter went from shy and scared to confident and bold. It translated from riding to every other aspect of her life. Rocky went from a scared little pony to a sassy little man who can jump, drive and handle any new task with an enthusiastic attitude. Being part of the Horse Play Ranch has been the biggest blessing that I have had in my life. The people are kind and truly love animals of all kinds. The place is beautiful and full of energy. My family and my horses have never been so connected and happy. I can't thank these people enough for everything they do!

My kiddo has attended another horse camp and liked it, but it was just too far to drive daily. Great family horse stables, reasonably priced for 3 days. The kids get their own horses for the day to take care of. Staff is friendly and helpful. Horses are beautiful and my kiddo had a lot of fun. They send out an informational newsletter before camp what to bring etc. We got to meet their horses on the last day and were greeted by the sweetest little pup each day at drop off. Would defintely recommend.

The only downside of our entire experience here was that it was a bit difficult to book. When we called, we were constantly redirected to call back again. But we got it figured out and everything went fine.

Slightly greasy but not too much and the taste is there. I especially like their burgers. SERVICE: friendly and accommodating. I will note that my friend had tried to contact them about a mistake with a to-go order but other than that their service has been great. But beware with to go orders but YMMV. AMBIANCE: diner/sports bar. Can be loud but not too loud. Note if a game is on there may be cheering. Casual and comfortable. PRICE: well priced... if I remember correctly about $15 for a burger.

Dish misrepresented, sticky tables, no flavor. Cute sunny spot with friendly service but food was…read moreseverely lacking. Ordered the Boujee Bene which tried to be an elevated dish of tequila flambéed shrimp ceviche on arepas topped with poached eggs and hollandaise. The arepas were actually bland masa corn cakes, so they were thick and dense with no crispness or browning. I asked the server about this and she confirmed they no longer made arepas but hadn't updated the menu. This could have been forgiven if the rest of the dish had any flavor beyond raw onion and garlic. The hollandaise had no flavor either, and they had no salsas or anything else to add other than tobacco and Chahula. The shrimp was minimal and also bland. There was a corn "salsa" (also bland) so that added some texture, but the dish overall was quite disappointing. My friend ordered the farmers table breakfast and said pancakes and Perkins were better. Maybe other meals are better, but brunch was disappointing.

The service was spectacular we were seated fast and didn't have to wait too long for our food. We started off with the bottomless mimosas which were made perfectly. I liked the deviled eggs more than I thought I would. They had a nice crunch and good flavors. I got the boozy French toast, I was a little disappointed that there was no fresh fruit on the menu but the French toast was perfect. The hash browns were a little over cooked for me but overall it was a pretty solid breakfast and we will definitely visit again soon. We utilized a free parking garage during our visit and walked less than a block to dine in.

They are strictly open for lunch 12-2 located on the first floor of an office building. Therefore, it gets very busy and loud in there for the lunch rush. They were very fast and efficient though. First time coming here I felt a little confused at how to order. If you can read signs then you will be just fine and can figure it out. They have the left side for ordering hoagies and they have the right side for ordering salads. They wood fire the pizzas and sandwiches and looked really good. I tried the oriental chicken salad and it was very tasty! You get huge portions for a great price. All ingredients seemed so fresh too! I was a little confused on the parking situation and may have parked in the wrong area. I parked where it said delivery's only but hey I didnt get towed. I was in and out in about ten minutes.
