    Great selection of salads! Food in general - terrific- only thing bringing the overall stars down would be the service. Could have been much better!

    Great place to take your kids. They loved the theme and playing at the table with fire trucks that you can borrow. Food was great too; can’t go wrong with the classics. Drinks were as described too. Sometimes when you order a drink elsewhere, it might have a twist that essentially doesn’t make it said drink anymore, so I am happy you can rely on the bartenders here. One thing I would recommend is having crayons for the placemats you can draw on. Other than that, great place for food and drinks and for the kids to have fun.

    The good is always wonderful. I love their burgers, and whoever I go with, they order and enjoy a pizza. Unfortunately, the acoustics are poor; it’s hard to hear dinner companions or the staff. And to make the matters worse, while I love kids, there are always kids screaming. I wish they would seat people with kids separately from adults without kids. I also wish the parents would teach - restaurant behavior. Kids scream, while their parents don’t say a word. Well, I guess the food is worth it. Yum yum!

    We asked the host to sit us in a booth away from the drafty glass window. She said there were no booths available even though we saw 5 booths that were empty. She sat us near the glass window and it was so very cold. I didn’t enjoy any part of being there because I was cold the whole time. Accommodate the customer. Simple. My review is directly reflective of the host’s behavior who doesn’t know what it means to accommodate a paying customer.
