    Megan was our server. She was perfect! Food delicious We had an oil change for car at Chevy and waited here. Highly recommended

    Finally tried breakfast, sadly only thing good was the eggs. Tots petrified, hard biscuit, gravy was like raw flour missing sausage.

    We've always enjoyed the food at LW over the years. Today we met our neighbors there for breakfast which was our first time going early (9am) when they opened. I don't understand why napkins/flat wear isn't on the table or at least brought once you order a beverage. I initially ordered just water, the other 3 had coffee. I wanted to taste it before ordering as I'm so tired of paying $3-4 and it turns out so weak or awful. This wasn't bad, it was at least strong so I ordered my own but then it took her over 10 mins. to finally get. At that point we'd already ordered and it had been nearly 1/2 hr since arrival. She said it would be a bit longer due to just one cook on duty, ugh. There was a big table of about 10-12 men that seemed to take priority over all the smaller tables. We finally get our meals at about the 45 min mark, all the plates looked pleasing but our potatoes/tots did look really dark but we did ask for extra crispy. I ordered biscuits/sausage gravy & eggs w/tots. My eggs unfortunately were the only properly cooked thing on my plate. The tots so overly fried they disintegrated upon biting and couldn't even use my fork to pick up...which I've never experienced. The sausage gravy was more of a raw flour black pepper gravy, biscuits hard on bottom doubt they were made fresh. Obviously wasn't happy overall with my meal. Hubby had eggs Benedict w/country potatoes, he asked for soft eggs and got firm (no runny yolk, dang) potatoes edible but many hard, hollandaise good, ham on muffin barely there... he too not impressed. Our neighbors ordered their staple of an omelette and French toast which they were happy with. Not sure we'd go back for breakfast. Hope we just had a bad day regarding the cooks food and slow service.

    It's been a two years since the last time I was here. This time the clam strips were just ok. They were a little overdone compared to the last time I had them. Service was good considering the number of people all demanding food at the same time. The problem is the customer should be given the bill prior to being asked for payment. You're assuming that they got the order right. In this case they didn't. I only had the clam strips, not the cup of soup. Unfortunately I didn't realize the extra charge until after I got home. Next time I'm definitely gonna be asking for the receipt to make sure it's correct.

    Everything here is both massive and delicious. Definitely a reccomend. I couldn't believe the entire chicken was only 15 dollars!

    Been calling the location for a week & sent out numerous emails to inquire about possibly hosting a group gathering or such for a birthday celebration. I wanted to secure or get a section reserved. Really just needed information for a large party. No answers no responses I don't know how much times I've called & it rang & rang. So then I found another venue for a birthday dinner celebration but still wanted to stop by for cocktails before the surprise dinner I was planning. I phoned the location one more time to see if they had the burger challenge & someone finally picked up - the gal on the other line said yes ! So we went there & when We got there we sat ourselves & took us about 15min for a server to greet us & get menus to the table. I should have known then. We put in our orders with the server but were shocked when we were told that they didn't offer the burger challenge anymore. Mind you they advertise it & I spoke to a gal & confirmed on the phone. So it was like whatever's we'll order the burger & just time it ourselves. While we waited for our drinks & food a new server came to introduce herself & let us know she was taking over the table as the previous server was leaving for the day. The food took a while to come out but it looked like they had a rush so it was understandable & we just chatted & caught up with each other. Food finally came & we did our own "what were u thinking burger challenge" The burger consist of two lbs of patties 5lbs bacon grilled cheese as buns & a 1 lbs of jojos for 25 min. The birthday celebrant didn't finish the jojos & the last Pattie but he demolished the rest in 24min. I would have given more stars but I just felt like they lack communication with the employees docked it. False advertisement with the challengers & then there were kids running around in a "bar" & the server who originally was our server kept giving our table dirty looks. Our server Jenny who took over the table was amazing tho! She kept checking on us & made sure we were ok & had water.

    I didn't see any reviews or pics for breakfast really, help?

    I've had breakfast there twice. The only potato options are deep fried tots or deep fried home fries. No hashbrowns. I don't like deep fried home fries myself. They serve breakfast on basically chilled plates so your breakfast gets cold really fast.…

The serving size was massive and could easily be 2 meals (I had lots of leftovers). The porkchop had a great texture and wasn't too dry. Grits were creamy, and the cornbread itself was very delicious. Service was friendly and attentive, as we had servers coming by multiple times to top off coffee. This is a great breakfast spot in Sumner!

West Pioneer Grill was walking distance and one that we haven't visited before, so we decided to give it a try. We clearly made it before the market rush because there were a good amount of tables open and we were seated immediately - 10 minutes later the place was nearly full. Definitely casual vibes here but that's what we were looking for. Our server, Jesse (easy to remember because that's my husband's name LOL), was great and we didn't have too long of a wait for anything. Limited selection of alcoholic beverages. I got a bottled Space Dust and my husband is a cider drinker but they didn't have any, so he also went with a beer. They do also have some liquor options. If you're a milkshake fanatic, we saw a milkshake menu that had to have at least 30 options on it! We weren't starving so we decided to split the fish tacos and it was the perfect amount. The tacos were good and were a generous size. We loved the sauce that they had it topped with, definitely pulled the entire dish together. Our son got some chicken strips and naturally, he loved them. We tried them and they were good - plus the ranch they have is BOMB. Very dilly, and really good! I think the only negative thing I really noticed was that the restaurant didn't feel the cleanest (observations from bathroom + flies) but could just have been an off day. Glad we checked out this spot and would definitely come back in the future for their extensive milkshake options!

I am very neurotic, and she was very patient, and even engaged in back and forth banter. She came to take our drink order, and if you know me, I always have a lot of complex requests. I started off ordering a boring vodka and soda, but then switched it up to cucumber vodka with muddled lime and mint with soda. Visibly and vocally unperturbed, she took my order along with my counterparts. The bartender whipped me up a couple of those bad boys and let me tell you, it was refreshment level: EXPERT. And props to the bartender, whom I thanked on the way out. After I drink order, I started ordering all sorts of ish. We had, an order of grilled sourdough, which was phenomenal and I'm actually going to start making that at home, if I ever get there, me and my (non-romantically involved, strictly platonic cuz I don't swing that way) partner both had the Cavatappi Ragu, and his wife had something with meatballs, that's all I can really remember. Man, even a my standards the food was so good. I'm very grateful that my folks picked up the check, and I feel bad because I ordered so much stuff, which I wasn't expecting because I went Ham on the menu, but damn man.... I think you can actually eat cheaper at a comparable restaurant in LA... Prices were pretty high. Even for me hahaha BUT all that being said, the next time I come see these clowns, I want to go back!

We sat down and a gal came to our table to ask for our order. She immediately came off as very standoffish, but, all good, we were there to relax and enjoy. We ordered wings to start off with. Mind you, it was happy hour which she mentioned herself. Cool, thank you. The wings were decent but some were soggy. But it's all good. We then ordered an entree and more wings because we were hungry. Did another dozen wings in the buffalo sauce. Our waitress, Kalidawn, reiterating the wings were 2 orders. Didn't make sense but it did in the end as she was trying to separate the orders as "half orders" to charge more? When in reality, it was the same buffalo flavor for the dozen wings so it wasn't a "half order". Really? You're going to do all of that to get you an extra few dollars? She was already rude, dismissive, and bothered from the beginning. We try to look past these things but she was truly excessive. It's like she wanted to make a statement and hated that we weren't regulars. We ended up getting sick after eating here. The service was beyond disappointing and the food sucked, but we also got sick which was the cherry on the cake. We will never be back and hope others think twice. And to find out, Kalidawn is the manager at the restaurant. So don't even bother trying to complain about her horrible HORRIBLE service and attitude. She runs the place which makes sense as to why I'm sure they're struggling. Do better.
