We were seated in a back booth which was quite comfortable. Our waitress was very friendly and took our drink order. She returned with those and brought a variety of warm bread and rolls.

When we arrived and saw that they were in a shopping mall, we were thinking about looking for somewhere else.... Boy I'm SO GLAD that we didn't! We arrived around 12:30 and they were packed - we were able to get a table outside (bar and inside dining area were too noisy for us)! Our server, Ariana O. was great! My wife enjoyed her Flamingo Fandango drink ($ 14.50) with the Torta Ahogada ($18.95) - both were delicious but the sandwich was very messy - better eaten with a knife and fork - and absolutely delicious as were their French fries that she had! I ordered the Beef "Cubano" sandwich ($ 17.95) with a side of golden beets ($ 2.00 up charge) glazed with the same horseradish sauce that was on the sandwich (Ariana's recommendation). Both were wonderful and we shared tastes of each other's items! It was worth the drive up and the impending drive back!!! We also shared a Dark Chocolate Custard pie that featured an Oreo type of crust with whipped cream and shaved dark chocolate as a topping - it tasted wonderful but I felt a little on the small size for the $ 12.95 price! All things considered, I would make the drive again to go back to experience the other items on the menu but as was suggested, I would definitely make a reservation for lunch and definitely would for dinner! FYI: their menu is seasonal so you want to view it online before you go!

We walked in and even though it was busy we were taken to our reserved table immediately. The place is big with nice decor and ambiance, and the tables are spaced out enough that it keeps the area around you quiet enough to be able to hold a conversation comfortably with the people at your table. Our server was with us quickly and took our drink orders. All of the cocktails were delicious and several of us got a second round! We got the bao buns, chicken skewers, and birria poutine to start and they were all extremely delicious. The poutine tasted more like molé though so I personally wouldn't call it birria, and the cheese was a molten cheddar-like kind and not cheese curds. It was delicious though so no one complained! I got the curry and subbed tofu for shrimp. It was a little bland and I honestly wish there would've been a bit more of the curry itself (there was so much rice) and some more salt/seasoning, but it was fine. I'd give it a 7.5/10. My coworkers all enjoyed their own dishes (especially the rigatoni) and they kept raving about them throughout the whole meal. Our server was attentive and kept the table clean and our water bottles topped up. I definitely recommend checking it out! We're keeping it i. our list for next time we're in town :)

She spilled the info table-side. And most importantly the chef is one of the best ever. We've eaten at some of the nicest restaurants in the area and only one comes to mind and they no longer exist. So this place is up there. We're blessed to have a lot of awesome restaurants in our area within easy driving distance. This particular restaurant stands out even among all the great places nearby. 5 plus stars. One note however, the chairs are comfortable enough but, they are subtly designed to keep people moving to keep business moving.

It's a Wednesday night and folks are nestled around the tightly knit bar like everyone is family. I'm the outsider from Allentown just passing through but the hostess and servers treat everyone all the same. This quaint restaurant has cloth table settings with ice water, awaiting your arrival. While the view is the main highway that runs through this sleepy town, it offers a bit of nostalgia from a day gone by. I've been here several times and I'm finally getting around to posting my review. I've always enjoyed my time here at Limeport even if every visit had some flaw. This time my drink glass had lipstick all over it, which the server thought was hilarious as well as embarrassing. I agree. The Smashburger is not a Smashburger at all. It's a decently flavored frozen puck that's been transformed into what ended up being a decent burger. You see, they know sauces well here as they're famous for all of their house made dressings and add-ons. The fries are homemade and come straight from the potato, but the oil is clearly old and the fries unfortunately were over overcooked. Well, this visit wasn't my favorite visit. I've really enjoyed my meals in the past. I will be back several times as I come through the town, but I'm not sure that it would be a destination restaurant for me. For those that live local, you're very blessed to have a solid restaurant available to you with filet mignon scallops and wonderful, house-made salads at your fingertips. Cheers!

This place could be really something....2 dollars for a dozen clams? What a deal right?…read more So here's the thing. First of all - tiniest clams to ever exist. Which is fine, at that price, I'll just take down 3 dozen, no big deal. Except what you realize once you're in the place (or even from just outside the door actually) is that you want to spend as little time here as possible. I guess because they have slot machines they're technically a casino so...they allow smoking inside...and there is virtually no ventilation, so the place stinks. The food ends up tasting like smoke, and honestly it just leads to an overall lousy experience. The bartender was CLEARLY overworked, getting refills took a LONG time and a lot of effort... Just overall, not someplace I'd come back to. It's a bummer because it's cheap eats and drinks and honestly...while the clams were small, they were tasty. I would come back if they had outdoor seating...but again, as a former smoker married to an asthmatic, I'm not going to be spending a bunch of time in a smokey, dank, poohole...no matter how decent the food is.

You make your food order at the bar and the cook will deliver it to your table. There are only about 6-8 tables, most patrons are eating at the bar. We had 3 dozen clams ($2.50 / doz), a black diamond steak with fried onions and fries ($10.99), a yeungling, and a diet coke for $20.85. If you want an honest, good value meal and don't mind a billiards game right next to your table, video gaming machines, and the smell of cigarettes, this is your spot. For me, I'll be back for the good food and friendly clientele.

The red curry with chicken blended beautifully with the jasmine rice and was our favorite dish. The noodle dishes were also excellent and pleasing. One final thought in the food - the fried rice. Every Asian restaurant has fried rice so when I tell you that this fried rice stood out as one of the best I've had, you should think about how much fried rice that contrasts against and it still rose to the top of that list. The service was good. The place is a sit down restaurant that does a good amount of takeout business so the server was busy to say the least.
