Decent selection but the OWNERS EGO is too big for me to shop here! Let me start by saying I've…read moreshopped here for 2 years and the men on staff are so nice and friendly. I usually stop in once or twice a week and Dakota is such a cutie and so helpful every time. The other gentleman also such a great smile and so helpful. BUT!!!!! The owner is a petty woman who apparently is never wrong and I just have an issue with a woman who would call another woman a liar and refuse to make any effort to retain customers who you deem "not worth helping". Long story short I bought a cake (same one my son loved at thanksgiving) and when he ate it he said it tastes like ear wax. I tried it and it was off so I called and asked for a call back so we could maybe return it or work this out. I mean I'm a somewhat long time customer, never had an issue, spent lots, surely I'd get help right? Nope! No call back, so I went to speak to someone with my husband and basically got told either I messed up storage or I'm lying... So after 2 years I chose to lie? OK Lady.. So she rudely speaks to me in front of my husband and because she's my elder I just kinda let it go because I'm not try to raise an old lady's blood pressure and I don't argue with ignorance, I'll just dispute it instead of arguing with someone who should've learned sometimes you get bad product.. Your store can't be 100 percent just perfect or maybe she didn't know but it's more than like she didn't care (the vibe she gave was very "oh my people owned colonels and this is the south") but it gets worse. My story stays the same but hers changes. I go in today and she's mad she didn't get her cake back!! You mean the one I messed up or lied about and you basically told me to just deal with it? That cake.. ok.. And then refused to help me and says from now on you must pay me in CASH!! CASH? Ok let's be serious. The product is good but your store is dirty, sometimes over priced, and the ground beef always smells and taste funny (only meat I don't buy) and you are too old to be acting like this. Anyone who's this old should know better don't you think? Maybe you need a course on business or as a customer pointed out to me going out the door you never seem to happy with people of a certain age and color (Lightbulb). I just said that to my husband last time who thought it was because we were a mixed couple. Really hope racism, ageism, or possibly even sexism isn't your issue. Didn't you learn manners? Sometimes I truly hate when someone is blessed with a handed down business they didn't earn and think they can just pick and choose who they deem worthy of excellent customer service. It was a cake, I've spent more on a 3inch porterhouse. I wish you nothing but the best but please remember businesses do get bad product and changing your story from lying, my fault and now (forgot this part) Selling the other half of the cake I didn't buy to a "customer " and they loved it! Ok... so now after 2 months you specifically remembered selling the cake and you know and remember to who and they loved it! I'll save you the demented lies and just let everyone know not to shop there and your views on certain customers. We're good to shop there as long as there is never an issue!

In my lifetime, I have eaten a lot of ribs, and Sugar's Ribs has the best spare ribs I've ever had…read more They are truly fall-off-the-bone tender. If you pull at the meat, there's a solid chance all of it will come right off the bone. I ordered spare ribs and corn, and both came out very quickly. The ribs were obviously the highlight, but the corn was really good too. Since you order at a counter near the entrance, it's a little hard to fully rate the service, but the process was simple and efficient. They also gave us cabbage to feed the goats outside, which was unique and fun. The seating area is near windows with a great view of the mountains, which makes the experience even better. I downloaded Yelp just to write this review, so that should say enough. Definitely recommend Sugar's Ribs, especially for the spare ribs.

Fortunately, after 6pm it's both free and easy to find nearby. As a solo diner I was initially relegated to the bar but, I don't drink so I asked for a quieter table and within 5 minutes they accommodated me with a seat by the windows upstairs. The inside is gorgeous and they have a nice patio as well. Beautiful and low-key but elegant decor. Service was excellent and extremely proficient. Never had to ask twice for something and easily able to answer menu questions and make suggestions. I actually hadn't planned on ordering the Fattoush but, when I said I loved tomatoes it was recommended and I am so glad it was. It was a standout. In the end I ordered 3 things bc I was dining solo: -Hummus with crudité (veggies instead of bread) -Fattoush - seasonal ingredients. -Red Snapper - about 3oz so small portion but perfectly cooked and flavored. Loved this. I very much wanted the knafeh dessert but I knew the portion was big and didn't want to be miserable and waste it. They have a nice non-alcoholic menu with some interesting drinks as well. Overall - perfect final meal in town and I can't wait to come back with my husband and try even more!

A Birthday I'll Never Forget, For All the Wrong Reasons. If I could give negative stars, I would…read more Save yourself from the embarrassment of this atrocity of a so-called "restaurant." Eight years ago, Rodizio was worth the visit. I returned on my birthday with my sister -- someone I hadn't seen in two years -- and it was the single worst restaurant experience of my life. The place was nearly empty on a Sunday evening, yet it hadn't been swept from corner to corner all day. It reeked of marijuana and mildew. The few guests present were visibly high, including our waitress. The salad bar was a disaster -- contaminated, uncleaned, and unsupervised all day. The meats were overcooked and extremely low quality (they've clearly switched to Sysco or whatever bulk supplier they're using now), sitting on the grill all day due to the lack of customers and still being served. The bathroom looked like a warzone -- water, soap, toilet paper, paper towels, and a diaper covering every surface. Not from a rush. From a full day of absolutely zero maintenance, just like the salad bar. When I tried to use my birthday coupon -- the entire reason I chose this restaurant -- the manager informed me it didn't apply because it was a holiday. A policy mentioned to no one before we were seated, even after I raised it with the host. When I pushed back, she said there was nothing she could do. I asked again, since we were never made aware of it. She dismissed me -- cold and unapologetic. On my birthday. In front of family. I paid the full bill in silence and left humiliated. I've dined everywhere from hole-in-the-wall spots to high-end restaurants across multiple countries. This was the worst -- not just the worst value or worst food, but the worst experience in every possible way. I would've been better off with a cardboard burger from McDonald's. Walk past this place. Save your money, your time, and most of all, your dignity.

Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish. The restaurant itself felt run-down and dated, but honestly that wouldn't have mattered if the food had been great -- it wasn't. The salad bar was below average and poorly maintained, with several items needing to be restocked. We were there for about an hour, and during that entire time there was never fresh cheese bread or bananas -- just two old pieces that looked like they had been sitting out long before we arrived. We asked multiple times for fresh ones, but nothing ever came. The meat was just okay, the shrimp was not edible, and overall the food lacked the quality I expected. The pineapple was one of the few highlights. The manager asked how things were, and when we gave honest feedback, she seemed surprised but didn't really make any effort to address the issues or improve the experience. Even her overall presentation felt reflective of the restaurant itself -- unkempt and lacking attention to detail. The entire visit felt like a place operating without much pride or urgency, which is unfortunate because the brand has strong potential based on how good it once was. I rarely leave reviews -- in fact, I literally downloaded this app again after years just to share how disappointed I was. This location is hurting the brand. I genuinely hope things improve, because right now it feels like it probably won't make it much longer. Update... I have to update this review due the fact that all 3 of my family members who ate here including me got horrible food poisoning here. Extreme vomiting and also the other end. What a nightmare!!! The only one who dodged a bullet was my mom who decided she rather have a poke bowl at the pace down the street. I will be contacting corporate!

One of my favorite parts of the visit was meeting the owner and learning that the shop is named after her two children. Those personal stories always make a place feel extra special. We received a beautiful picnic cheese box featuring local cheeses, mini pickles, and a spicy nut mix that kept us snacking happily throughout the day. The standout, however, was the fresh cannoli made to order. I loved being able to choose my own topping, and the shell was perfectly crisp while the filling was rich and creamy. The shop is also packed with local artwork, gifts, and specialty foods, making it easy to find a treat for yourself or someone back home. If you love cheese, sweets, and supporting local businesses, this spot is a must-visit.

Yes, I now all the traditional grocery store operators have their specialty cheese sections, and that's okay, but if you want really unique variety, if you want to understand proper pairings with your cheese, if you want to speak with a real cheese expert, to have some fun with their ongoing events, locally, this is the place you go. It's impressive the shops evolution since their original opening, and you really do want to follow them on Instagram so you are aware of their ongoing events that will not only build your cheese and wine knowledge, but you'll have fun, rubbing elbows with your neighbors. So for this visit, I came into BF to sample their "Sandwich Week" entry, the Brittany, it was absolutely delicious, and while I was there I was able to trade music experiences with one of the staff members, they know more than cheese and wine folks.
