  • "What I was served was a soggy waffled with 3 chicken fingers and a single piece of square unmelted craft cheese."
  • "The avocado toast is false advertising, it was not fresh crushed avocado but rather some sort of ready made avocado/guacamole spread that tasted like it had been sitting for a while."

Cons:

  • "I love a good desert, don't come here if you have a sweet tooth they have very few options especially during the week."
  • "We asked for the potatoes with no peppers & no onions but our server said they can’t do that."
  • "And every time you ask for anything other than the exact menu item they tell you there is a charge for that."
  • "They have skillets but when I ask for a skillet that was not in the menu she said I had to order it exactly from the menu."
  • "Not only is it not chorizo. It’s some gross ground beef mush that’s horribly seasoned."
  • "The menu is not on the table. It's only online."
  • "Easy to find by scanning code, but tiny to look at it and a bit overwhelming because it's very long."
