Let's start with the negatives... First time we attempted to come by they were closed. So we had to…read morewait to try Mike's Grillhouse. Staff was super friendly, went out of their way to make sure the tables were tidy, and refilled drinks really quick. The restaurant is smaller than you expect it to be, but it is cozy, friendly, and not overly loud. We only had a 10 minute wait when we arrived and they were packed. Our waiter Kyle was on point, introduced himself and dropped the special of the day with gusto. If I hadn't already had a ton of carbs for the day I would have gone with it. Ended up ordering the scallops, and fried zucchini appetizers. Scallops are served almost like a soup. The sauce in the bowl was to die for. I'm thinking white wine, and lemon were the major components. It was phenomenal. Fried zucchini was super tasty and is coming home with us. I'd swear it was enough to feed 4 people. For mains, we ordered pot roast and fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. Wife loved the pasta and chicken. Surprisingly enough she ate it all, none to go which is super rare for her. Pot roast was fantastic. Mashed potatoes were on point, the mixed vegetables were amazing. When you get broccoli and carrots on the same plate and neither have a mushy texture it makes me happy Will definitely be back again in the future.

But as someone who has worked as a server and in operations for big restaurant groups, the entire place needs some retraining. Food: Overall we had 1 good dish - their pad-eggplant. Noodle dishes were clumpy. Rice = HORRIBLE. Dry and not fresh. Their salads were not great, and overall the quality does not equate to the price. Service: This place cannot handle a large table. Anything over 3 people is probably a stretch for them. We had a reservation for Mother's Day, and when we came in there were only 2 tables who were at the end of their meal already. They paid and left. Tables were coming in, but we were able to place our order prior to it getting busy. The restaurant is pretty full now, all the tables that come after us are eating or have eaten, and have paid and left. We had a few appetizers and nothing. I ask the servers why this is, and my answer is that they are processing other orders, processing to-go orders, and then the chef wants to make our dishes all at the same time. Our food never comes at the same time. There's anywhere from 10 mins in between each plate, meaning majority of the time we were eating 1-2 bites then just waiting. Stir fry dishes given without serving spoons or rice, tom yum soup given without bowls. Near the end of the meal, we are still sitting there waiting for the remaining dishes and nothing. We asked for the dishes - looks like they forgot. We just ask them to cancel it and then get us the check. One time I asked for the soup bowls, she said yes and left. Then went to help with delivery pickup and to seat people. Completely forgot until I asked her again. Another time I asked for some additional plates, the other server said she would get it and then left and completely forgot, I had to ask again. We asked for egg on the side since my niece is allergic and never got the egg. I had to ask for that and my other niece ended up eating the plain egg with rice because she was hungry. There was an issue between the front of house and back of house and until they can get that figured out, they should turn off their ordering system. If they are a sit down restaurant, they need to ensure they can prioritize the folks they are charging an automatic 20% service fee from. It sucked because we went to celebrate my mom and we all ended up leaving hungry and annoyed.

They offer a large variety of proteins and toppings in their poke bowls as well as hot appetizers like gyoza, rangoons, egg rolls, and tempura. I typically order a Large Bowl with five toppings to split with my mom. We get the creamy shrimp, spicy scallops, octopus, and double salmon. The bowls are absolutely huge. I'd say the bowls are about three inches deep, and it's not just rice filling them! They are very generous with their toppings and don't shy away from loading them up with the seaweed salad and imitation crab too. They offer a bunch of sauces and mayo dressings that add a bunch of flavor. I also really enjoy their Kani Salad! It is a large portion that packs a lot of flavor. I always order ahead and the mean is finished before I arrive! I would say though that they are not the most consistent. Sometimes the octopus pieces are super hard and it grosses me out. One time they put ahi tuna in my bowl instead of the salmon. A few times they didn't include the sauce topping on my bowls. The interior of the restaurant is not the cleanest. There were some areas, especially around the drink fountain that look like the haven't been deep cleaned for a while. Regardless, none of these are major issues that would turn me away from eating there again.

Great selections of proteins to choose from

The 8-inch sandwich is actually a great size -- one sandwich could easily be enough for two people depending on how hungry you are.

For those with nut allergies, the sandwiches I ordered did not contain nuts in the ingredients, which I really appreciated. They do have cookies, but be aware that the cookies do contain nuts. Another great bonus is that they offer a military discount! I always appreciate businesses that show support for our military. Overall, great sandwiches, generous portions, and a nice bonus with the military discount. Very clean vibe. I'd definitely come back!

My recent visit to Farmer Boys was simply fantastic! From the moment I entered, I was met with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. Let's talk about the food. The no brainer deals at Farmer Boys are unbeatable, and I couldn't resist trying the Bacon Mini Skillet. It was absolutely delicious! The fluffy pancakes combined with crispy bacon and perfectly cooked eggs created a symphony of flavors that left me craving more. I also had the pleasure of trying their Regular Menu Breakfast Burrito, which was equally amazing. Packed with mouthwatering ingredients, it was a satisfying and flavorful choice. The service at Farmer Boys was exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure my visit was enjoyable. They truly care about their customers' satisfaction, and it showed in every interaction. While it's important to note that every day is different, I genuinely hope you have a fantastic experience like I did. Farmer Boys' commitment to quality, affordability, and excellent service is something to be appreciated. In conclusion, my visit to Farmer Boys was truly memorable. The irresistible no brainer deals, including the Bacon Mini Skillet and the Regular Menu Breakfast Burrito, offered a delightful combination of flavors and value. With exceptional food, great service, and a welcoming ambiance, Farmer Boys deserves high praise. I highly recommend giving them a try and wish you a wonderful dining experience!

So this is our second time eating here and probably the last, unless we try breakfast one day. Anyway, we bought 4 Combo meals and a Cobb salad and it was a bit over $55.00. I justified the price because they are large portions and I wanted to compare them to like Applebees. The first problem was I trusted all our food was in the bag. I didn't check and sure enough we didn't get one of the fries. Then, we had an order of onion rings, zucchini strips and a Cobb salad and only given two small ranch dressing cups. So I was disappointed but made it work. However when 2 out of the four say that it wasn't that good and not go back, I listen. We had high hopes for some tasty food and just got mediocre. The portions are really big if you consider that a plus. read more

After getting home and unwrapping the sandwiches I noticed that my sandwich had not been made correctly. I had ordered a Club Sub which is supposed to have bacon and mayo on it and it had neither. I was not happy so, I called Jersey Mike's and complained to the assistant manager who stated I only had to get on their website and fill out their form and I would get a coupon emailed to me for a remake probably within 24 hours. The Jersey Mike's corporate office in New Jersey emailed me 2 days later making a point to say each Jersey Mike's is individually owned so, they really can't do anything other than send the info to the owner. Corporate asked me for the ticket # which of course I no longer had because the assistant manager did not tell me it was needed which I explained when I responded. I then received another email asking for the date of the order, method of purchase, last 4 digits of my credit card and the total amount of the purchase which I then gave them. Today I received another email thanking me for the info and they would forward it to the owner. Geez, Jersey Mikes......is this how it goes for your customers when your employee screws up an order? As well as being given misinformation from the assistant manager on the remake coupon process? A total of 5 emails and still no coupon and it's now a week later. I think we will order from Togos from now on to avoid the hassle. Their sandwiches are better anyway.
