I'll be honest , wasn't sure how much an ounce was. Didn't see a big price sign when I first walked in. There's a sign, but looks like the price could have changed or it was faded. Was a little surprised there was no friendly greeting when you walk in , or have you been here before? Do you need help ? Nothing lol. Would have loved to sample some of the flavors, but didn't see any sampling cups by the yougurt dishes you fill up. Eventually I found the sampling cups, over by the cash register. Odd place to put them, hard to find. The spoons are cool, they change color as the coldness from the yougurt hits the silverware. I put cheesecake, cookies and cream and cake batter in my dish. Now for the toppings, loved adding Kit kat pieces, nuts, and other wonderful toppings. I added Carmel, went to add hot fudge and nothing came out except one drop. Mentioned it to the worker at the register , they were out of hot fudge, he just said guess we're out,or something to that effect . Didn't mention of checking for any in the back, so that was a real disappointment. I don't think they honestly cared. Was surprised my total was $9 something , almost $10. Wow definitely steep price.

I got the same rudeness. My son is special needs he's pointing at the flavor he wanted. I doubt (worker) even waited 10 seconds for me to respond what flavor my son wanted. Workers demeanor annoyed because he had to take our orders. My son usually wants another one right after. We usually go to the Porterville Baskin Robins great customer service there. Because my son wanted another scoop in a cone this time. My son was pointing at the cone he wanted. ( Worker) in a rude way asked which cone there's left to right which one. I thought he saw my son pointing at the one he wanted. I asked him if he had been having a bad day since he's out of patience. I will not return to this location. If people don't want to work in a customer service place find another job.

Fast service and very convenient…read more The menu is displayed on the wall without any prices. Most items were $9-13. The seafood items were made beforehand and placed in the refrigerator. There were also bagged chips, cubed fruit and Tajin candies on display. Service is always quick. *Aguachile: plump shrimp, cucumber, and avocado in a cup with spicy water. This surprisingly packed a lot of heat so it went well with the fruit. The cucumbers soaked up the peppery seasoning well. The shrimp was tender and sweet. The most refreshing version I've had in the Central Valley. *Ceviche: shrimp, tomato, cucumber, onion and avocado cooked in citrus. The container looked small but it was filling. Each serving was topped with a whole avocado. The shrimp was similarly tender and the vegetables were fresh. I prefer my ceviche to be on the sour side and this gave me the pucker I wanted. Served with 3 grocery store tostadas. I wished these were made fresh because I've been stuck with stale ones before. *Escamocha: came with a choice of ice cream. I chose their walnut flavor and resembled a nuttier butter pecan. The fruit was chopped finely and was sweetened by the cream. The almonds provided a good crunch. Surprisingly mild tasting compared to the fresas con crema. *Fresas Con Crema: the serving size was a bit small for $9 but it was creamy and sweet. The strawberries were plump from soaking in the condensed milk. These were topped with almonds and coconut flakes. Really addicting. Not fancy but the seafood here is better executed than most restaurants in the Central Valley. I just wished the tostadas were fresher to match the quality of the shrimp and produce.

A good pit stop for a sweet treat in Tulare…read more The parking lot was spacious, and the interior was much larger than I expected. There was also a connected taqueria, though no one was staffing the counter during my visit. One downside was the lack of a clearly displayed menu with prices and offerings. Instead, most of the options were showcased through the display cases, which were filled with premade fruit cups and a variety of ice cream flavors. I opted for the fresas con crema, which arrived in a massive cup filled to the brim. It was a bit difficult to eat with the small spoon provided, but I certainly appreciated the generous portion. The strawberries tasted fresh and naturally sweet, balancing the rich sweetness of the crema. All of the granola was concentrated on top rather than layered throughout, which made the texture less consistent. I would have enjoyed a bit more granola overall, as the crunch was one of my favorite parts of the dessert. While the price was slightly higher than at similar shops, the portion size helped justify the cost. I would appreciate more transparent pricing and a clearer menu, but the employees were friendly and helpful throughout my visit. They also stay open later than many nearby dessert spots, making this a convenient place to satisfy a late night craving for fresas con crema.

The food is so fresh and the environment is very open and clean with some neutral country type music playing. The service was fast and food was delivered hot to our table. We decided to go with the Big cheese burger, the avocado chicken sandwich and the beer battered fish basket. The fish was crispy and hot and wasn't bogged down by the oil. The tartar sauce definitely brought out the best in the fish and the fries were nice and crispy and held their crunch the entire meal. The chicken avocado sandwich was ok. While I enjoyed the garlic bread seasoned type flavor on the outside of the bread, the combo of the avocado and flat piece of thin chicken, was just not coming together enough, for me personally. Now the real star of today was the burger! It was super juicy and had a nice flame-char grilled type flavor to it, even though it looked so simple. Don't let it fool you! We rang the bell too! lol Also FYI, they serve breakfast here all day too!!! What????

This was not the experience we were expecting when we ordered delivery the other night from them…read more We got a Bowl of Creamy Potato Cheese Soup, slice of Key Lime Pie and a slice of Lemon Cream Cheese pie; $27 dollars not including tip. The Soup was just ok. Lacked flavor, potatoes were non existent and it arrived lukewarm "but that's the delivery drivers fault". For $11.49 we expected better. Key Lime Pie: it was "ok" but the whipped cream tasted warm and the pie was borderline warm as well. Must've been put next to the hot soup. Which in my mind "why?" It's cold pie. Should I not have eaten it, yeah. Did I eat it anyway? Well it was an $8 slice of pie! So yes, I'm going to eat it! It was also small for the price as well. You get a bigger slice of cheesecake at their competitor for around the same price. Lemon Cream Cheese Pie: doesn't come with whip cream "unless you pay for it". That slice of pie was also $8. How does the key lime come with whip but you pay extra for this one!? The picture shows the whip on it which looks good, but doesn't give you an option to pay for it either. The flavor was just ok. Delivery was atrocious! The guy took forever to get there, then took forever to get to our place. It was overall a bad experience all the way around. Thankful I didn't pay the $13 for an order of mozzarella sticks. Overall: what happened to this spot? I know these restaurants are becoming non existent in our small towns and we wanna come try them out. But when you're charging this much and not getting the quality you deserve, well it makes me not wanna come back. Which sucks cause I love a good slice of pie. But not a small slice for $8 that I gotta pay extra for whip lol.

The toasted subs are delicious, especially their version of the Italian, but cold is also very good. They give you an option to hollow the sandwich bread out and I would suggest that. Their bread isn't the same as other sub shops, it's more dense on the outside but soft on the inside. It's even better when you get it toasted! You got that nice crunch from the warm bread with the cold veggies and cold cuts, all covered in oil, vinegar and spices. If you're looking for a sub that's Freaky Fast! Freaky Fresh!
