There were barely enough peppers, onions and mushrooms to include them as ingredients. The sauce was not near enough to moisten the bread. But the worst part was the chicken. The breast meat was overcooked to the sawdust range. Dry and stringy.....inedible. I ordered an Asian Chicken Salad. Whole florets of raw broccoli, snow peas with the strings? Way too big for the plate....worst of all.....same chicken that was in my wife's sandwich. No sign of a manager or shift leader. 3 bartenders, 2 of whom joined a table of (on the clock?) servers at a booth to gossip. We just left and won't be back. AWFUL!! The one star is for the young lady at the counter who took my order.....she was charming.

My apple pie and the lemon meringue pie the person with me ordered, tasted like something from a gas station display case - bad crust and awful flavor. Neither of us could finish them. The food was bland and the low-quality ingredients were noticeable right away. Some dishes arrived on plastic plates and others on stoneware, creating an odd and inconsistent presentation. This place survives because it's in a tiny town with limited choices - not because the food deserves praise. And after reviewing the restaurant's track record of negative findings from health inspectors overtime, this only adds to our overall dissatisfaction.

We got coffee, strawberry lemonade, and fountain drink. When the drinks arrived they took the food order. It was an open face turkey sandwich, a Bacon Cheddar Burger, and avocado toast. My mother in law opted for dessert only so she had a banana cream pie. The food came out in a very decent time. We were chatting so we felt that it came pretty quick. The Burger was crispy and juicy. With the fries it was very filling. The turkey sandwich was so good. My husband loves it. He order the same thing every time we come. He mentions the turkey tastes freshly made. The avocado toast was very yummy. I added the sauce they have. They have different spicy leves so they called it baby bear for the mild momma bear for the middle spicy and the papa bear for the very spicy one. I love that one. It has some seasoning that makes it even better. The coffee it's always freshly brewed. My daughter loves the strawberry Lemonade they add some fresh strawberries. The ambiance it's very familiar. There were a birthday celebration and.they were singing happy birthday to them. I got excited and clap with them. So nice and inviting.

This was not the experience we were expecting when we ordered delivery the other night from them…read more We got a Bowl of Creamy Potato Cheese Soup, slice of Key Lime Pie and a slice of Lemon Cream Cheese pie; $27 dollars not including tip. The Soup was just ok. Lacked flavor, potatoes were non existent and it arrived lukewarm "but that's the delivery drivers fault". For $11.49 we expected better. Key Lime Pie: it was "ok" but the whipped cream tasted warm and the pie was borderline warm as well. Must've been put next to the hot soup. Which in my mind "why?" It's cold pie. Should I not have eaten it, yeah. Did I eat it anyway? Well it was an $8 slice of pie! So yes, I'm going to eat it! It was also small for the price as well. You get a bigger slice of cheesecake at their competitor for around the same price. Lemon Cream Cheese Pie: doesn't come with whip cream "unless you pay for it". That slice of pie was also $8. How does the key lime come with whip but you pay extra for this one!? The picture shows the whip on it which looks good, but doesn't give you an option to pay for it either. The flavor was just ok. Delivery was atrocious! The guy took forever to get there, then took forever to get to our place. It was overall a bad experience all the way around. Thankful I didn't pay the $13 for an order of mozzarella sticks. Overall: what happened to this spot? I know these restaurants are becoming non existent in our small towns and we wanna come try them out. But when you're charging this much and not getting the quality you deserve, well it makes me not wanna come back. Which sucks cause I love a good slice of pie. But not a small slice for $8 that I gotta pay extra for whip lol.
