CAFE ELITE: WHERE CAKE POPS REIGN SUPREME (UNLIKE DAIRY QUEEN'S SUSPECT BLIZZARD SUPREMACY)…read more Let me tell you about these cake pops that make Dairy Queen's entire existence seem like a fever dream from 1985. Each perfectly spherical masterpiece is handcrafted with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker who definitely doesn't serve Dilly Bars on the side. Their signature chocolate-dipped red velvet cake pop (way better than waiting in a drive-thru behind a minivan ordering Blizzards) is rolled with such perfection that geometrists weep. The ganache coating has a snap that makes Dairy Queen's chocolate dip cone look like it's trying to get into community theater but didn't make the cut. Speaking of theatrical performances, you should see their unicorn cake pop (no soft serve machine can compete, KAREN FROM DQ). It's adorned with edible glitter that makes other desserts question their life choices. Each horn is hand-painted with metallic dust that would make Dennis, the Tuesday night shift manager at Dairy Queen, absolutely lose his mind. Their seasonal pumpkin spice cake pop (eat your heart out, Pumpkin Pie Blizzard) is so perfectly spiced it makes you wonder why anyone would ever waste their time watching ice cream get turned upside down. The density of these cake pops is scientifically calibrated for optimal mouth feel - unlike SOME establishments that think gravity-defying ice cream is a personality trait. Don't even get me started on their birthday cake flavor (sorry, DQ's ice cream cake, but you're not invited to this conversation). Each sprinkle is placed with the careful consideration of someone who has never once had to explain why the soft serve machine is down. The lemon cake pop (refreshing in a way that makes a Mr. Misty look like flavored ice) has a citrus note so perfect it makes other desserts cry themselves to sleep. They achieve a tang that no amount of red plastic spoons could ever hope to experience. Five stars for these cake pops - they're what would happen if Leonardo da Vinci quit painting and decided to pursue his true passion of putting cake on sticks (while definitely not managing a Dairy Queen franchise on the side). P.S. I heard someone tried to compare these cake pops to a Blizzard once. They were politely but firmly asked to leave while clutching their Buster Bar in shame. P.P.S. The double chocolate cake pop is so rich it makes Warren Buffett look middle class (and he definitely doesn't own any Dairy Queens... oh wait). Note: This review was written while experiencing what I can only describe as a transcendent cake pop experience, completely unsullied by thoughts of certain fast-food establishments with royal aspirations and questionable ice cream machine maintenance schedules. Special Addendum: To the person who suggested they should serve these with soft serve on the side - first of all, how dare you, and second of all, the exit is that way, right past the building that used to be a Dairy Queen in 1992. Final Thought: If you're reading this review in a Dairy Queen parking lot, just know that there's a better life waiting for you. A life filled with cake pops that have never once been threatened by a malfunctioning soft serve machine. Remember: Every cake pop here is served at the perfect temperature, which is more than I can say for SOME places that think "partially frozen" is an acceptable state for a Blizzard.

My son's friend introduced him to the breakfast burrito at Cafe Elite, and he fell in love. As…read moresummer winds down I made a breakfast date with my son to have breakfast burritos. Sadly, they were out. She took our drink order and walked away which felt very inefficient for the level of busy for just 1 person to be managing. We decided we'd try the breakfast sandwich instead, assuming it would taste similar, and it did. Despite ordering "2 sausage and egg breakfast sandwiches" (after having ordered 2 sausage and egg burritos) she made 1 and was already onto helping the customer at the other window. Since there are no prices on the menu board and they don't give you a receipt, I can only assume I just paid $5-6 for an Italian soda and $5-6 for a breakfast sandwich. Don't get me wrong, that seems like a fair price for a breakfast sandwich, so the total I paid should have been the tip off that she was only making 1, but the other peculiar part was that she told me the total and saw he holding up cash so then she gave me a new, lower total. Just overall not a great experience for a special breakfast outing with my kiddo.

The inconsistency in portions and the lack of training on how to take care of guest concerns was clearly missing. I ordered 3 love it sized ice creams, and when I asked them why the third one was proportioned smaller(like a like it sized), Brendan told me as he laughs "it's an optical illusion you know hahaha". I guess that's the kind of answers you get when teenagers are in charge. As we watched them make the ice cream, TJ uses his finger to lift the cake out of the clear container instead of the tongs.(food safety concern as he had no gloves on and I did NOT see them wash there hands). As I'm cashing out, Brendan looks for a tip on the receipt, and because I put zero, starts laughing and talking smack under his breath. I ignore these as I'm turned off by now, with the engagement, the service, and how clearly untrained and under supervised they are! Dessert date with the kids was a dessert disaster, Go to cold stone in Lakewood, or better yet Menchie's in sunrise for better service!

Wanted breakfast and thought why not Tim's…read more Well today should have need "Not Tim's" We got there at 8am and it was a little busy. But not so busy it took 5min to greet and seat us. Really lots of empty tables but a staff that seemed to not care or we finally had mastered the power of invisibility. Finally someone motioned just a minute. Like 5 minutes wasn't enough. So we got a table and reviewed the menu. We decided on a simple breakfast. Eggs, bacon, coffee, toast etc.... Simple right? It took 5 minutes to get two cups of coffee. Then we waited. Remember it was not very busy. Server was nice but nothing about sorry your wait was so long. Nothing! Well the two breakfast dishes (scrambled eggs and sunny side up eggs) still were a no show. And we like crisp bacon but not overly cooked bacon. Not a difficult order. I have whipped this out in my kitchen in less than 10 minutes for 3 people. So why did it take almost 15 minutes to get ours. And why no coffee refills? And crispy bacon is not drop already cooked bacon into a deep fryer and forget it and then serve it and it actually is sooo overcooked that just looking at it makes it break and charcoal would have tasted better. The eggs were under cooked scrambled as my wife likes done eggs and my sunny side up were two rubber disks and overcooked with no sign of the runny eggs I like. The rest of the food was meh. So lesson learned, don't think Tim's will be an option for any meals in the future. P.S.: even when we pointed out the issues the server didn't blink when she said "You asked for crispy bacon, and the kitchen was overwhelmed" Really!!!

My first time here, I ordered the barbecue bacon double cheeseburger. The menu is pretty expansive,…read morewhich is impressive. I would say the pricing is definitely on the higher side: for example, a five piece mozzarella stick is eight dollars. I paid $16 for this barbecue bacon double cheeseburger only, no sides. It was good. I would give the cheeseburger 3.5 out of 5, but I'm bumping up the rating of four stars because the service was excellent. The worker at the counter was really friendly and made recommendations and even brought my food out to me in the car. I'm tempted to come back and try their fish and chips because the employee said that's what they're really known for. They have like two dozen different flavors of milkshakes, which is pretty cool. The reason I give the cheeseburger 3.5 is because the onions were sliced thin, which is good, but they were a little green and that changes the flavor of the burger. The meat also needed more salt. It was really good though. I'm not that picky.

Can you say Blizzard? OMG! My husband and I are currently going to Dairy Queen every other day!…read moreWhy? The DQ coupon of course. It is good thru August. I am considering "stocking up" in my freezer. Sometimes we go for lunch. The staff is very kind. I always like the chicken strip meal deal. I love the that the meal comes with a Sundae! Instead of our usual chicken nuggets, my husband recently bought a $7 hamburger meal. Ick, plain cheese and a burger. It's the same as McDonalds, where we no longer go. If you get the "Smash Burger" it comes with the works. It's more expensive. Back to the chicken, it is usually good, rarely a little dry. Using the dip helps. A treat and a getaway for our sanity. 1. Ice Cream! 2. The dining area is kept clean. 3. Large seating area. 4. Service is top notch. 5. Music, not loud. 6. I mostly like the food. 7. It is a nice getaway. 8. Economical with deal or coupon. 9. Get away from icky house work! 10.Ice Cream! Sometimes, for convenience , we go to the mall. The mall DQ is "eh". It's a mall. Ice cream is never wrong!

Went got our order in and got to the window. It took a hot minute to pay and get the order. The Blizzard was perfect and as advertised didn't spill out when turned upside down. The hand dipped cone was just what the hot day needed. Crunchy chocolate and smooth creamy ice cream under. Good service and good food. Perfect for a hot day or any day.

We just love Out and About Burgers…read more Juicy burgers, savory onion rings, bomb ranch, and sweet seasonal shakes makes this one of our go to places. Drive thru only but don't worry, the line moves fast and the food is always worth the wait.

First off, I'd just like to say that the location is kind of a nightmare. The drive-thru setup is…read morepretty confusing. It's a really tiny little trailer, so I understand they're working with limited space, but having cars loop around in what feels like a figure-eight can be chaotic. People get impatient, start honking, and it's easy to accidentally cut someone off without realizing it. They're just burgers, people--everyone needs to relax a little! That said, despite how busy it was, the line moved surprisingly fast. I ordered a double cheeseburger with everything, a side of onion rings, and a black raspberry shake. The shake was fantastic--definitely a highlight of the meal. The burger was also really good: flavorful, fresh, and exactly what I was hoping for. The only disappointment was the onion rings. They were incredibly greasy--so much so that they actually upset my stomach. I'm not sure if that's typical, but I probably wouldn't order them again. Next time I'd give the fries a try instead. One thing that really stood out was the pricing. It's refreshing to find a place that still offers fair prices when it feels like everything else costs an arm and a leg these days. Overall, I'd definitely come back. The burger and shake were worth it, and as long as I skip the onion rings, I think it'll be a solid meal.

So let me start up by saying that I ate this burger so fast that I didn't even get a picture and…read morethat's really rare for me I ordered the chicken teriyaki burger It was so good The roll was so fresh and soft but held up really well, even with the teriyaki sauce. The chicken breast was tender and flavorful There was a slice of pineapple which seemed to have been grilled a bit to enhance the sweetness with maillard reaction (google it) The burger was also topped with crispy fresh iceberg lettuce leaves, and two slices of fresh flavorful tomato. Yes, flavorful tomato in February. A teriyaki sauce and a little bit of mayonnaise added to the sandwich and were a good test for the roll. The quality of ingredients that they use at this restaurant is very high They also had great customer service and the restaurant looked very clean They have an excellent food rating from the health department. The french fries were really good too. They had a small coating of " batter" on the fries, that enhances the texture, flavor and crunchiness. All in all, and without even trying all of the rest of the burger spots in Graham, I'm confident this spot has the best burger. They also Serve Fish And Chips, beef burgers, Korean Mandu dumplings, milkshakes, and more give it a try and let me know what you think
