Being misled right from the start screams coming here as it seems as if we were just a few days,…read moreweeks, or even years too late to get some chocolate! So their store the first nicer section is basically all their candy at normal prices we really didn't see much here that was discounted at all as it was just standard retail. Then the other side of the store is where the deals are and the reason they are on sale here is because about 95% of the items are expired some by a few weeks some by months and even some by over a year now I'm not sure how they could be selling things that are that expired like honestly a few days or so isn't gonna hurt you but over a year is a bit sketchy even for me! We did search through a ton of the chocolate in here and we did find a few items that aren't past their dates yet and let's just say it wasn't easy to find that! Overall check your dates before you buy anything from here and for that reason I'd doubt I'd ever come here again as I can get better chocolate elsewhere for a fraction of the price that they are selling their mid product for!

I wasn't sure what to go with, so I just went with the regular grilled cheese with a side of chips. Let me tell you, the grilled cheese was soooo sooo good! I will eventually go back to try the other kinds. I didn't get a chance to get any dessert, but they have some good stuff. Overall, this is such a great place to check out!

But has a lot of grass parking behind along rail road and also more across street at wildwood city hall. Plenty of choices in menu and I decided to try the Voodoo Mac and cheese and so glad I did. It was really good has brisket in it and fried onions great flavor combo. 3 in our group today. We ordered 2 voodoo Mac and cheese $25 ea and a turkey and bacon sandwich on a croissant roll $18. sweet tea in huge mason jars $4 ea and a homemade lemonade $5.50. Just know going in that the prices are a little high but well worth it as the portions are huge. I ate half of my Mac and cheese and took the rest to go... Highly recommend this place staff was welcoming and friendly and service was really good.

Here's a recipe to try: tomatoes, onions, jalapeño peppers, cilantro, garlic... put in blender and voila. This place has a pure liquid of questionable origin that tastes like crud. The chips... dear lord. The fajitas.... Great veggies awesome seasoning. The meat I'm guessing was cat and now that I'm home I can't find my cat so I'm not super happy. Why would fajitas meat be a centimeter wide by three centimeters long? I'm interupting my own review to find my cat. Horrible food. Learn to cut meat so it doesn't look like cat.

One year later back again to what was my favorite Mexican restaurant. Rereading my previous I saw…read morethat on my prior review they mixed up my meal. This time more of the same ... almost like watching a comedy. Seated there were delicious chips and salsa on the table and drink orders were taken promptly. That was great. The servers were friendly and promptly took our orders. We had approximately 20 diners. When the food came my fajitas were nice and hot. My #1 complaint is food not served hot. The fajitas came but not the second dish with the toppings or the tortillas to put them in. The toppings arrived but no tortillas ... which I asked for three times. When they came ... nice and hot my food was already cooling down. Not good. The person across from me got their meal but no silverware. After at least six requests for silverware, one time he was brought a takeout carton, finally silverware came. Tasting his meal he told the waiter it was beef and supposed to be chicken. Meal replaced. After everyone was served on person didn't get their meal. Everyone was eating he was waiting. Finally the meal was served. The servers delivering the meals were asking who is number 15 etc. were we supposed to to know numbers? No one mentioned it. It's a nice place but when going out and paying for a dinner the last thing needed is chaos. Two people, in the group, said that they would not return. I asked the people sitting around me on 1-5, five being the best, How would you rate the overall dining experience. The answer was 1-1-2-2-3-4. The person who arranged the event went to speak with the manager. I will be checking out some of the other options.
