    Grissly chicken in a cob salad is just revolting. Whoever is doing the shredding of the rotisserie chicken, could you a lesson on how to remove grissle and tendons from the product before putting it on a salad. Three bites in, I couldn't stomach another.

    Food was good. Service was so bad that it really took away from our experience. Lots of people working for the Father’s Day holiday, but the line of tables ours was in was completely forgotten about. The table next to us had to flag someone down for everything just as we did. We waited so patiently for any service but at some point you just have to call it what it is- Super awful service. Except for the few people bussing tables and delivering food, they were very kind and helpful when we didn’t even know who our waiter was.

    They were too busy! Had to wait long time for the staff to come. I was asking for a plastic cup for my 19 months old grandson. The waitress forgot. She also forgot our corn bread. No one comes around to refill water, had to ask twice. Our desserts were taking forever to deliver to our table. Just not a good experience this time.

    Our daughter loves coming here for the cheese pizza while she watches Caltrain pass. She thinks it's so cool for the station to be right there. Their pizzas are thin and very delicious.

    Been here many times. Never had issues. This time 3 out of 4 had poor/mediocre food. Appetizer came out first as it should. Within two mins of having it they brought out 1 of 4 entrees. Never had time to enjoy the app. Then the last 3 came out separately. Told waitress but she only had excuses that made no sense. We will think twice before going back.
