Last night I placed an order to go and ordered wings and my mom ordered a club sandwich and asked for season sour cream with her waffle fries. We picked up the items right when they were ready and when we got home a few mins later I discovered that there was barely any Thai peanut sauce on my wings and they were incredibly dry!! My mom didn't receive her sour cream for her waffle fries so I decided to call and let them know. The person that answered the phone didn't apologize and said she can't refund the credit card that it was purchased. Her next solution was for us to drive back to get a side of sauce.....and then our food would be cold. She said she could give a gift card and I said I would pick it up the next day. When I went to the lodge today the gift card wasn't ready for pick up and Meghan only said to give a gift card for $7 and the wings were $13. I asked why the winds weren't fully refunded and the bartender said he couldn't do anything and wasn't helpful. He just said talk to Meghan which originally she never did her job and hold the gift card. The service has really gone down in the years and you can tell cause how few customers are there anymore.

This place is great, the food, the owner, the service, even the prices. There are a group of cyclists who used to use this spot, that happens to be along a trail, when it was under previous ownership, to stop for a breather without paying for the space they were taking up on private property, and they're so upset that it's a full-service restaurant now and like any full service restaurant it's not a place to take up a table without buying what's being offered. It's a private restaurant, not a public pit stop and they've done lost their sh!+ about it, behaving like children and just making up stuff and giving bad reviews. I'm honestly so embarrassed for them. (and I'm not affiliated with the restaurant in any way, just so embarrassed that some in my community are behaving like toddlers) (unsure why my profile refuses to change locales, but I'm in MN, not CA) read more

Molly's is a quaint little cafe. Don't get me wrong, just because they're small doesn't mean they don't have top notch food and service. The food is amazing. The service is exceptional. The surroundings are perfect for a small town eatery. I am lucky enough to have a Saturday free each quarter. I make it a point to eat, relax and enjoy my meal without feeling rushed. To Molly and crew, thank you. I'll see you again in December. John read more

We stopped frequenting St. Boni's Bistro after witnessing the owner's rudeness, both directly and indirectly. He is absolutely a misogynist.

If you want to come here even relatively close to peak hours, I would highly recommend a reservation. My personal favorites here include the Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich and the Minute Chicken. I've gotten both items multiple times and they are consistently great. Do yourself a favor and get the Dessert Flight; the portions are more than fair for the price and the Banana Cream Pie is to die for. We recently did brunch at Hazelwood for the first time. The Monkey Bread is a generous size with a crispy outside and gooey center - exactly how you would want it to be. The Smoked Gouda Hash browns are worth getting on the side with any item that doesn't already include them; they are so creamy and have a rich cheesy flavor with a nice crispy top layer. Unfortunately, I would not recommend the Avocado Toast. The bacon bits, lettuce, and poached egg completely overwhelm the avocado, which is virtually nonexistent. It's served on a very small and boring piece of wheat toast.
