Since the new owner took over DON'T GO HERE! Unless you want to pay $36 for 3 loose meat…read moresandwiches! I asked for 3 loose meat sandwiches only. $36 please. I was like I only want 3 not 6. The girl, who was new was yeah that is the total. Then after saying I only wanted the sandwiches and not the basket I said, holy smokes good thing I only got the sandwiches! She then told me it didn't matter it was the same price! I said fine then for that give me the fries that go with it. She then said that makes it $42 for 3 sandwiches and 3 fries. I was like that isn't the same price. She said yeah fries are a dollar extra!!! So what comes with the basket, I asked? Just homemade chips that don't hold up well for take out. Bonduarant can't and will not accept a place that charges for cafe food like this! Close it down and give the Fareway more room! $36 worth of Fareway steaks are so much better! I know that prices are going up, but give a person the chance to go cheaper with less of an order. Do not try to charge every person $14 that walks in for any ordrer they make!

We weren't quite sure as we pulled up to what appeared to be a strip-mall, but the storefront for Nick's (see picture) was reassuring. We started with a round of drinks (see pictures) and while the Tequila Old Fashioned (see picture) was unique, I wouldn't order it again - struck me as a straight shot of inexpensive tequila. We both really enjoyed our main course meals. My wife started with the Shrimp Bisque soup (see picture) based on her coworker's recommendation followed by the Ribeye (see picture). I went with the Blackened Salmon (see picture) and really liked it - done just right with the perfect amount of 'kick' in the blackening seasoning. Last but certainly not least (for my sweet-tooth), we shared a piece of Key Lime Pie (see picture). While our waitress was apologizing for the appearance (falling apart) due to it being fresh out of the oven - we especially enjoyed it and the warm temperature only made it taste that much better.

Man do I feel like my hometown bar when I stepped in here. Signage on the front door was missing…read morejust the way I like it. There was room at the bar for us to sit and get a nice cold draw from the tap. I noticed by reading other reviews that the tenderloin and sausage sandwiches were top favorites here. Once I had a couple of drinks and heard/ seen about 15 tenderloins and sausage sandwiches be ordered and served I knew what I wanted. It didn't disappoint as I split my meal with my guest. Everything that I want and nothing I didn't need is here. I am excited as I found my new regular stop that makes me feel like the small town I'm from.

Hidden Gem, shhhhhh…read more Was on social media and someone sent out a link of locations of good tenderloins around. It so happened it was on the direct route for us on the way home that evening. We parked, got out and exchanged that "look" when your not sure about the outside of a place. However, don't judge this book by the cover, or the name for that matter. There was some seating outside, but we walked in, did a quick scan of the room and bellied up to the bar. It was a week day evening and it was not too busy. Newer waitress being trained behind the bar, but no worries we all gotta learn sometime. The place is a bar with all the normal "bar" things. Pool table, TVs, music, etc. Dimly lit, smell of fried food and beer. Seat yourself and vocal friendly staff. From the seats we snagged you could see the grill in the kitchen. The cook was working up a storm. I knew I was there for the tenderloin. I did a quick yelp search and found some great reviews on the Hot Sausage Sandwich after watching the cook work on 2 of them on the grill as we sat there. They were Giant! Convinced hubby he should try and just from the SIZE that I could see from my seat. We didn't get any sides just the two sandwiches. The orders were spot on. My breaded tenderloin was good! It was pounded flat, and they happily brought me extra pickles. The Hot Sausage Sandwich was a hit! Hubby was really impressed. He rates the Sandwich alone as 4 out 5 stars! it was a lot of food just the sandwich alone and he said he would happily come back. While we sat there enjoying our meals we watched pick up order after pick up order getting started and called in. That says a lot. We absolutely loved this hole in the wall. We loved the atmosphere and the vibe from the regulars as they sat an enjoyed their drinks. Hubby also mentioned how he got small town vibes from here and keeps talking it up even a week later. I know well be back. -quick PS I am trying to get the Sausage Sandwich pics to post and well post separately.

They have all of your favorites like brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and burnt ends. They also have breakfast items, desserts, ice cream, burgers, pizza, pastries, a cereal bar, and salads. There is a private parking lot for you to park. They have a huge dining area with private rooms for large parties and special events. The staff there was very friendly. This restaurant is special because it is a place where individuals with special needs learn real-world job skills. I saw them training while I was there and it was awesome. Our server was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the 2-meat platter with pork belly burnt ends, pork belly bacon, potato salad, and baked beans. Be sure to check out their daily specials. They also host brunch. My food was ready in about 5 minutes, and it was fresh and hot. It tasted really good. The burnt ends were my favorite, but it all tasted good, though. I was glad that I made it here and had lunch. I not only liked the food and service but also their mission. This is a very special restaurant, and I highly recommend checking it out.

Triple B's opened at a former Jethro's location in Johnston right along 86th St. Their open house…read morewas in November of 2025, but I think they may have opened in limited capacity before that. Last week we had a chance to stop in. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the empowerment through employment concept here! Triple B's partners with a few of the different school districts as well as Goodwill and Best Buddies to employ around 30 people with special needs. It not only gives teens and young adults with special needs a chance to enter into, and participate, in it's workforce... The restaurant caters to families with special needs children as a safe space where they aren't looked at differently. It's their world...we're just sharing their table for a few minutes. Parking is plentiful and we had no issues. We were greeted shortly after we walked in and seated towards the East end of the restaurant. Denny was up front along with Brenden. Seating is a mix of high top and low top tables and chairs along with a few bench, table, and chair combos along the walls. The daily hours vary some so check out their online presence's posted hours to make sure they are open when planning your visit. The menu is extensive! Offering everything from breakfast and BBQ, to sandwiches, pizzas and baked goods, and even ice cream deserts. There is a large menu board above the front counter. For dine-in ordering and payment is done via standard table service with your server. They also offer take-out ordering online through their site via skytab. Pay attention to their weekly/daily specials! We ordered the following: 2x Fountain drinks (Pepsi products) 1x 1/4 lb of beef burnt ends 1x 2 meat platter with pork ribs, pork burnt ends, cucumbers and onions, and mac n cheese. This was served with a small slice of cornbread 1x complimentary cinnamon roll Be aware the yellow and red squeeze bottles on the table are not ketchup and mustard. They're their two house BBQ sauces. One traditional (yellow) and one a little more spicy (red). I really liked both my sides! They were fantastic. The mac and cheese was hot and gooey. The cucumbers and onions were crisp and fresh. The meats all had good flavor. But maybe they were having a little bit of an off day...? The burnt ends dry were a drier than I prefer. The same with the cornbread and cinnamon roll. The ribs were better but still a little dry. Don't get me wrong... I cleaned my plate! I just used a little more BBQ sauce than I normally do. It's a personal preference and it really just might have been the day... That happens with BBQ. I would strongly encourage you to try it for yourself, but I want to be transparent in my experience. Our service was wonderful. The woman who seated and served us did a stellar job (Brenden's mom I think). One of the gentlemen working tables stopped by our table for a visit. Great kid with an even greater smile! Even with a bump or two. I'm already planning my next trip back to Triple B's to try their breakfast and their brisket cheesesteak... The cheesesteak is advertised as coming on a Amorosa roll. While smoked brisket is a spin to the classic... If you've ever been near Philadelphia you know Amorosa rolls are quintessential when it comes to cheesesteaks! Not something we see here in the Midwest on the reg. Be aware of their mission. Enjoy the food. Be patient, respectful, and most of all... Be kind! https://www.bubbyb.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TripleB.BubbyB/
