    Grilled chicken and broccoli in red sauce--SO good!
    Kim F.

    There is a really delightful surprise tucked away in the back of a convenience store lot that you have to visit to believe in my five-star rating. A friend of ours recommended this place and we thought it sounded nuts until we went there. Total shocker that we would find such good food in a place that didn't feel the slightest bit pretentious. Don't let the exterior fool your palate--through its cheery green door is a cozy place that serves up great food. The service, the food, and the atmosphere were all so enjoyable. I decided I wanted the Fettuccini Alfredo with grilled chicken and broccoli, but when our server got to our table to take our order, I changed my mind. I sheepishly asked if it could be made with red sauce instead of a heavy, creamy sauce--our very sweet, upbeat server wasn't the least bit bothered. She was great, just so upbeat and energetic. Our food was served within 20 minutes of ordering. It was hot, flavorful, and plentiful. Their menu allows for ordering full or half portions and our full portions were large enough for us to have to stop midway and ask for take home boxes. The couple seated next to us had to do the same. Both of us had pasta dishes. My wife's baked rigatoni and my fettuccine were cooked perfectly, with body, and not mushy. She ordered a meatball to go with her dish and it was soft, creamy, and flavorful. We each had a roll served as an appetizer, but we saved them to enjoy with our main meal--recommended to enjoy with the wonderful sauce coating our dishes. The place serves up a very simple, no-frills dining experience that doesn't feel tacky. I was surprised to unroll my napkin and find both a salad fork and a dinner fork inside as part of the service--a simple sophistication I see less and less of nowadays. We ordered a Diet Coke and an iced tea that came in a can and a 16.9 ounce plastic bottle (both with a glass of ice) , BUT...the price was less than I've paid in a vending machine for one. The space is tiny, but cozy and not cramped. There is a bar, but it's not noisy or obnoxious. There is a comfort level here that makes a meal even more enjoyable. So glad we decided to try this place. There was a lot on the menu we would like to try, so we'll be back!

    Stopped out at Danspot for dinner. I gotta say, it's one of the best places I've ever eaten. Everything was incredibly fresh. The Philly sandwich CRUSHES. Service was terrific too. Highly recommend if you're looking for a laid back place to grab a meal!!

    Good stuff. It's small you may have a little wait. Portions were big and tasty. We will probably be back. It was clean and the one girl waiting on the whole place was super attentive and friendly.

    TL;DR - This place is delicious. Order now. Oh my. What a surprise and gem of a restaurant. I drive by this place every single day on my way to work and have seen it slowly turn into what it is today. When the carryout sign first popped up, I checked out the menu and was a bit wary. The menu at first seemed pretty basic and nothing jumped out at me, so I just continued to pass this place. I jumped back on the menu to see they posted photos of their dishes. BRILLIANT move. I started scrolling through the menu and noticed a giant pool of drool at my feet. I couldn't decide what to order. I finally clicked a few items and sent through the order. A previous review said I would be expecting one hour. FALSE. They figured something out cause my order was ready in less than 18 minutes. 18!!! I walked in the door and my order was already bagged up and waiting for me on the counter. I got back in my car and all I could smell was the Italian herbs on the breaded chicken on my entire drive home. Now. Onto the food: I've been trying to satisfy my Mac and cheese craving for months now, maybe over a year. I keep trying different places and just constantly disappointed. Not anymore. Even after letting it sit for longer than I should've, I opened the Mac and cheese to a billow of steam. This place needs to come with a disclaimer: CAUTION! EXTREMELY HOT! Almost burned the roof of my mouth on the first bite! 1000% worth it though. This Mac and cheese is CREAMY and SMOOTH. This is NOT your average undercooked roux, clumpy cheese Mac and cheese. Also, another thing to keep in mind is that the portions are MASSIVE. I almost dropped a plate because I underestimated the sheer weight of this thing. The 2nd dish I got was the Rigatoni Vodka, also with breaded chicken. I was sold by the photo on the website. It tastes just as good, if not better, than it looks. The Rigatoni was cooked perfectly with just a bit of bite. Sauce thickness was perfect to coat and stick to each noodle inside and out. Absolutely delicious. If I had to say ONE thing about the dishes, it would be the chicken. Flavor and breading on it is great. It was just ever so slightly overcooked. With it being so thing, it definitely cooks super fast, but the breading color was also just a tad dark. Again, just a tad. It did NOT stop me from going to town on the food. This place is definitely on my list of places I would like to come back to and try all of their other dishes. Next time I'll delve into the red sauce, entree, and sandwich options.

It looks clean and open, the staff was sufficiently helpful and polite, and the food was okay. It wasn't great, but not bad either. We got a soup and sandwich combo, and a soup to go. The sandwich was loaded with lettuce, which we removed, leaving very little to the sandwich. The soups were average size, just enough I guess. It was actually very tasty and hearty. We also got a smoothie, again just an average size. The final price was $37. This was not a $37 meal! Three of us ate full meals at a sit down Mexican restaurant the night before and it was only $46! It's simply a matter of rather small helpings of okay food just not being worth the price they charge. The soups are good. The prices are bad.

She said she wanted to be by the water, somewhere "healing", so we discovered Tinkers Creek Tavern together, and the scenery was more than we anticipated. We opted for the patio, of course. While it was hot outside, we didn't notice the heat. The shade from the trees and the creek nearby must have cooled things down. Bugs were not an issue either. The staff was super friendly. We explained we were newbies ans asked for recommendations. We learned their brisket is something they're known for, but I leaned more towards seafood. I had the shrimp and grits for my meal, after the pretzel as an appetizer. The food was so good and our experience was so great I told my mom about it, who happened to go back with my brother while I was at work one Saturday (bummer ). I've also called in take out, and returned several times with another friend and my middle son. We had the fried green tomatoes, fried mozzarella, corn pudding, and brisket sandwich (I opt out the cheese). The food hits every time.

Friends and family always circle back with a "thank you" after visiting, especially when they're in the Valley View or Independence area. When I worked nearby for a couple of years, my coworkers and I made a habit of grabbing lunch on the patio. It overlooks the calm stretch of Tinkers Creek, which adds a quiet, almost tucked-away feel to the experience. One afternoon, we even watched a crane wade through the water, bathing and fishing like it owned the place. Not a bad backdrop for a lunch break. Consistently great food, reliable service, and a setting that does a little extra without trying too hard.

I took my father there on Sunday April 19th at 5pm. Before I get started with the negative, I would like the manager of this location to know that they are very lucky to have Maddy as an employee. Now for the bad: when we walked in, at least four tables were filthy. Three tables had their chairs up like they were getting ready to close and there were three dirty tables in the back. We sat at the only clean table. The employee named Katy should no longer be working there. I don't know how anybody gets paid to be that rude to people. She didn't smile she didn't say hello when I told her I didn't come there often she wasn't helpful. I only ordered two sandwiches and drinks. It was a low maintenance order and she literally made me feel bad for making her take the time to wait on me. It was a horrible customer experience. While I was there, some guy came in who had gone home and come back because he was given the wrong sandwich. I didn't hear her apologize once. I took a picture and it's posted on this website of the overflowing trash area. The picture that I posted doesn't include our trash. I had to put our trash on top of the pile of trash. The place was a mess. I will say there is potential in the employee name Maddy she was super excited about the company and how they keep things fresh. She was excited to talk about the company and seemed proud. To the management, this place needs one heck of a makeover in every sense of the word

At least new to me. As mentioned I haven't been here in a while. Wait to be seated when we came in. It took a few minutes but a table was cleaned for us and we sat. Nice crowd for a Thursday afternoon. Hostess is also the cashier. She gave us menus. Then we waited about 15 mins till a server came with silverware. She took our order. A chicken salad sandwich and the special chicken paprikash. I wanted to try it. Then we waited some more. At least 20 mins to get our drinks. Water with lemon. Then another 30 mins for food. It was hot when we got it. So it was fresh. Just took forever. I also got a cup of soup with my paprikash so I chose the mushroom barley. It was very thick, almost stew like. Lots of barley but not too many mushrooms. It was ok. Wouldn't get it again. The paprikash was ok. It's a ok portion. Not heaping. Ok though. It tasted ok too. Not too much distinct flavor. It wasn't bad but I wouldn't get it again. Mom's chicken salad on wheat was just ok too. For the more than hour we waited to get our food, this was not a great experience. When we went to pay the hostess cashier was MIA and we waited. We were going to pay via cc but decided we did not want to wait any longer and just gave cash. I couldn't even flag someone down to tell them I left the bill by the register. No one there. Not sure if help was the issue. Probably was. Too many customers and not enough wait staff. Or just on their own time. Server seemed surprised we wanted to go boxes and our bill. But I got to get back to work and at this rate I was out of the office more than 1 hr 45 mins. Family place. Long time establishment. Good prices for a family. I don't want to knock. But this was a bit too far for me. I can't wait for my lunch for more than an hour. It may be awhile before I try again.
