    We have been to this place already once and this is our second time here. This is one of the local gems and the staff is amazing and kind. The inside decor is Christmassy and they are clean. They have many vegetarian options. I am unsure if they have any vegan options. This is a great breakfast/brunch place and we will come here again. They are family friendly and business casual. They have a huge parking space in the front.

    I love Emmy's! We've visited several times and the food is always delicious. The service is great and food comes out quickly. The place is busy, specially on the weekend but if you have to wait, the wait is short and there is a comfortable waiting area. Everyone has always been nice and welcoming! There's plenty of parking spots shared with the businesses around it

    Pancake from the big boy breakfast

    Honestly i hate that this is named the "big boy breakfast" and i almost didnt order it for that reason lol but Im glad i did because it was FREAKING amazing. These pancakes KILLED. Love them. I would come here a lot if i were local

    Local favorite, heard about this place for a long time. Went on Father's Day so it was packed but apparently it's always this busy. Prepare to wait for a table but food is worth the wait. Big boy is a bargain for all the food and it hits every mark. Pancakes r delicious!! Plenty of parking and tables close together to accommodate more customers. 10/10

    A wonderful little diner on one of the busy strips in Avon. Place was comfortably busy, but had no waiting on a Monday at 10:30am. Rockville Scramble was just the right portion size for me. Pancakes were a little dense, but nothing an extra slather of syrup couldn't tackle. Coffee was STRONG - perfect for a diner. Overall, I was pleased finding this little gem. Hope to be back soon.

    I just moved to the area and am slowly trying out new places. My boyfriend and I love Lincoln Square and so were excited to try Emmy's! I was very pleased with our service and my cinnamon french toast with a side of bacon. prices are super affordable. it's classic diner food - nothing out of this world, which is way it's only four stars for me. i love a classic diner and am excited for this to be a new spot.

    Chicken wrap
    Ciarra E.

    Ordered pancakes, bacon, and a chicken wrap with fries and everything came out great. The chicken wrap was huge for the price! I ordered my chicken Buffalo flavored as I do at other places and here it was much spicier. Just a heads up. This wasn't my first time eating here and I've never been disappointed.

    Eggs Benedict it's the best in town for my area.
    Denise C.

    It was a Sunday early afternoon and I was craving Eggs Benedict. I have not had them since before covid. I ordered Benedict with hashbrowns, and an ice tea. The order came out quick and it was delicious. I then had a craving for a Belgium waffles it came out perfect as well. Everything was so delicious The waitresses was very attentive. The reason for the 4 starts was because as I was finishing my breakfast one of the staff members was sweeping the table behind me, in front of me, and to the side of me. Dust was going ever which way as I was trying to finish. I get that a restaurant wants to start cleaning up to go home, but a little respect goes a long way. I don't know anyone that would like that as they are finishing their brunch.

Then we waited to be noticed by the wait staff. And we waited, and waited. It took 17 minutes before anyone came to our table. We would have left but we had a $50 gift certificate to use. Finally someone came over. We ordered teas & an appetizer of flaming saganaki. We found it very tasty. For entered I ordered the Greek meatball sandwich. My wife got a cup of egg lemon bowl ( which is a soup she loves) & Keftethes ( with beef meatballs). I found the fries god & the meatballs & bread decent but the sauce was a little off to me which greatly reduced my enjoyment. It was just ok. My wife thought the soup was a bit thin but overall god with a strong lemon flavor. Her entree the meatballs were good, the green beans were cold & the roasted potatoes were decent. Overall she was meh. We ordered desserts to go. Baklava, Galaktoboureko ( custard in philo dough) & Oreo cake. Wife thought the baklava had an overpowering cinnamon taste which hurt it. The Galaktoboureko was basically sugar cream pie with philo crust. I thought it was ok but wife thought it should have been thinner. She also believes the to go containers aren't sufficient for these desserts due to the sugar syrup. The "Oreo cake" had one cookie to the side & was dry. When we gave the waitress our gift certificate she said they would take that off when they rang up the bill. She came back & the gift certificates were not taken off. I pointed this out to her & she went back to talk to whoever is running the register. When she came back she said she has no idea what's going on but they gave me a $50 bill to credit the $50 in gift certificates. My amazing wife surmised that they credited someone else's bill & gave us the $50 to make it right for us. Bottom line is all the staff we interacted with were friendly but the restaurant is very disorganized. Food was just ok. Can't say we were impressed.

There were about 2/3 tables full, which is good for a Sunday. Our server Jason was friendly and good about keeping track of all our requests. They have mocktails! I got the Blushing Sangria. It was delicious and nicely fruity and not too sweet. I've never drank before, but my boyfriend said it tasted like the original kind. They have a pretty extensive beer list here, and many of them are local choices. For appetizer, we got the couscous Mac and cheese balls. These are pretty close in nature to arancini, but with more cheese. My main course was their weekend dinner special, with prime rib accompanied by white cheddar mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. The prime rib was absolutely amazing, nice and tender and flavorful. The mashed potatoes were also great and are a very smooth consistency. For dessert, of course we had to get a pizookie! The triple chocolate delivers on its name. Served hot, it is well worth the wait after two courses of deliciousness. They have TVs around the bar area that have sports on. At the time, basketball and nascar had the most coverage. I wish they had the closed captioning on, since that makes it easier to tell what goes on if you're not right at the bar. The bathroom is kept clean there. My boyfriend and I are sure to come back on the weekday special going on, with select entrees and pizookies for $13 - what a deal! Hopefully this is sooner rather than later!

I had heard the hype of Rick's for so long, I had imagined it would be better. My husband had the pork chop, which had no flavor. I had the halibut, the best part about it was the sauce. But it was just ok. The rice on both our plates was also dry and pretty bland. For desert we had the crème brûlée. This wasn't made fresh, again, it was just ok - you could tell it had been sitting in the walk in fridge for a while. It's worth going for the view and service, but don't expect too much from the food.

They had the doors open to the outside which gave it a fun, lively atmosphere. There were games like a basketball hoop, scooters for the kids, Connect Four, and cornhole, which added to the experience. TVs were everywhere, and with the Final Four game on, it made the vibe even better with music playing throughout the patio. Our server, Dajiah, was friendly and gave great recommendations, which we appreciated. For a bigger crowd, she was on it. For drinks, I had the Pineapple Smash (crown whiskey and double shot) and it was very good, definitely one of my favorites. I also tried the Blackberry Smash, which was just as good. My husband ordered a Blue Moon since they didn't have Mango Cart. He later tried to order a whiskey sour but ended up with a whiskey bound, which he didn't care for, though I thought it was decent. We started with the garlic knots appetizer with cheese and marinara, and those were good. For my meal, I had the salmon, which normally comes with rice and another side, but I swapped for a side salad and broccoli. I really enjoyed my salmon and broccoli. I got turned off from my salad because of one small issue. There was a hair in my side salad, but they handled it. They took it back immediately after I informed our server, remade it, and our server also offered to remove it from the bill, which I appreciated. My husband got the smash burger and fries, he said it was really good. It was a great time with good food, fun energy, and a lively patio setup. Definitely a spot for good vibes and accommodating to a larger crowd.

Our server Emily was cheerful and informative. A parking garage across the street served us well for dining at this restaurant and attending an event at Hendricks Live across the street. The shrimp cocktail appetizer featured fresh large shrimp with dollops of horseradish on the plate and a nice sauce. I enjoyed the steak frites entree, a generous portion of steak perfectly cooked, served with a delicious broccolini and tasty fries. My sister ordered the chicken marsala and noted that she would have liked more sauce, and the truffle potatoes were delicious. My brother said his huge pork chop was perfect, and my sister in-law recommended the sirloin steak. We had reservations and were seated at a high top table, which is not my preferred way to dine but the restaurant was full so we didn't ask to be moved. We had a bit of a wait for our entrees and chalked that up to it being Saturday night. There is a separate bar area and rooftop dining with igloos available.

I drove an hour to visit this place and saw lots of good reviews. I started off with a lemon drop and a snack short rib eggroll. The lemon drop was watery and just did not hit like I would have hoped (I'm a lemon drop girly). They do use Titos as their well so that was good. The egg roll was dry- you definitely need to dip in the wasabi aioli to make it palatable. Next up were the buffalo chicken hush puppies. I like the idea here. The inside was moist and flavorful and the outside was kind of dry and drizzled with what I think was ranch. They were ok. I have a Ceaser salad add chicken and "fried" Brussels sprouts. The salad was suppose to come the onions , there were none so the waitress brought me some. The salad was mid at best and the chicken was dry and unflavored. I asked for some spicy ranch and that saved the salad! The Brussels sprouts were pretty good. My friend had the potato soup and said it was very watery (not creamy at all). I enjoyed the live music and overall vibe but good was average. Parking is an issue as well. There is parking in the rear or a parking garage but not super convenient parking.
