    It's Colorful in a personality kinda way Got a sassy server Reasonably efficient Gotta big menu Somewhat clean

    Omlet and Hashbrowns
    Claudia C.

    I was in town visiting and I use to come all the time when I was in high school. The inside just feels very empty and I think it would help this place a lot to upgrade the tables and chairs. The booth we sat in had green duck tape all over it to cover the holes. I think the quality has gone down quite a bit. The food was hot and came out quickly but it was very bland. No one really loved anything they got. Our waitress was very nice and was quick to refill our coffee. Overall, it's fine for breakfast but nothing that wows you.

    I ordered the Southwest grilled chicken salad and it was great. It was covered in grilled chicken, finely shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, tortilla chips, and ranch dressing. My husband ordered pancakes and a side of sausage patties. He said they were some of the best pancakes he's ever had. I've never had a bad meal at Eli's. The servers are all friendly and attentive too. If you want a place with an extensive menu and phenomenal food I highly recommend it.

    Wait time was not very long for a Sunday morning. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere for breakfast. The menu has a wonderful selection of breakfast items. The food is not anything out of the norm.

    The omelettes are huge and can be split

    The food was great as always. I ordered a Hobo Skillet. The server was very friendly and there no wait time. Great place to eat.

    If you haven't eaten at Pivot Lounge yet, "HOLD UP!" you're definitely missing out on one of Crown…read morePoint's MOST unexpectedly fantastic dinners. I and a few other family members were invited by my mother and by the time I walked out, I was wondering why this place wasn't packed wall‑to‑wall every night. Let's start with Monday's AYCE perch -- absolutely outstanding. Lightly breaded, perfectly seasoned, and fried just right. It's the kind of perch that makes you rethink every mediocre fish fry your uncle threw that your family tolerated. If you're a perch person, this is your new weekly ritual. Then came the walleye, WATCH OUT NOW, and honestly, my sister wasn't prepared. She said it was flaky, flavorful, and cooked with the kind of herbs & spices she recognized that said, "Yeah, we know exactly what the hell we're doing." "It's the kind of fish that makes you pause mid‑bite and appreciate life for a second." But the real surprise of the night? The bacon, mushroom, and American cheese hamburger -- unforgettable. This thing deserves its own billboard. Juicy, stacked, and unapologetically delicious. Every bite felt like a small celebration. On top of all that, the place is spotless. I mean impressively clean. Floors, tables, bar area -- everything looked like someone had just finished polishing it. You can tell the staff takes pride in the space. And speaking of the space... Yes, the building once housed a gentleman's club. But now? It's so clean, so friendly, and so well‑run that the only thing dancing is your taste buds. The only thing exotic here is how good the food is. Pivot Lounge has officially earned a spot on my "must return" list. Great food, great service, great atmosphere -- and a glow‑up story worthy of its own documentary.

I didn't want to be disappointed in this place so I just ordered a BYO burger. It was cooked well and I ordered medium. Still pretty good. Rest of my party said their entree's were ok. The pork chop had a different flavor we didn't like. Garlic mashed potatoes were just ok. I believe this place has a dish I'll love so I'll try again. Service was very good considering it was busy

    Unsanitary and unbelievably rude service. My son and I both ordered the Station 21 burger medium…read morewell. When our food arrived, I cut into mine and it was extremely rare--so undercooked that one side of the patty was still pink. My son's burger was cooked correctly, so I know mine clearly wasn't. When our waitress checked on us, I explained the issue, and she politely apologized and took the burger back. A few minutes later, the manager on duty brought the same burger back upstairs, slammed it down, and asked with an attitude, "What is the problem?" I explained that it was undercooked and that I had ordered medium well. She then asked, "What do you want me to do with this?" while just standing there staring at me. After acting irritated, she asked if I wanted a new burger or wanted "this one" recooked. The idea of them recooking a burger I had already cut into and handled felt completely unsanitary. Her attitude throughout the interaction was awful. I declined a replacement, and she huffed that she'd remove it from the bill. Unfortunately, it got even worse. Just minutes later, an earwig crawled out of my friend's salad. We were horrified. We took a picture, caught the bug, and asked another server to get the manager. When she returned, she walked up with her hand on her hip and said, "Now what?" We handed her the napkin with the bug, and instead of apologizing, she opened it right there on the table, let the bug crawl out, scoffed at us, and said, "Fine, I'll take that off the bill too." At that point, my friend was covering her mouth in disgust after realizing she had been eating a salad with a bug in it. Rather than showing concern or professionalism, the manager snapped, "What do you want?! I didn't put the bug in the salad." I have never experienced such unsanitary conditions combined with such shockingly hostile customer service. Mistakes can happen, but the manager's behavior was beyond unacceptable. We left disgusted and will absolutely never return.
