    We were a group of 4 including a 94 year old, her son from New York, a vegetarian friend, and myself, a frequent diner. Everyone was happy and staff was wonderful.

    Our server was just very average, very cold personality, not attentive to our needs. They made a mistake on the appetizer order, the new manager Patrick is amazing, very personable, we really enjoyed speaking with him. He will be a huge asset to the restaurant. Food was good as always

    Celebrating a birthday with a group of women. The service was excellent. We all enjoyed our meals. Most of us had salads, and the soup of the day. Our waiter was great.

    Food and service were good but after looking at bill I noticed that I was overcharged on a few items.

    I always enjoy my dinners at Happ Inn. I've been going there for a long time and it seems to keep improving. I had the chichen enchiladas when were excellent and a good size - I brought one home. I would definitely recommend the Happ Inn.

    We ordered veggie burgers, which were not enjoyable. Poorly prepared and tasteless. We’ve had mixed experiences at this restaurant and thought that we would try it one more time. Would not go back.

    The wonderful people at Happ Inn always make us feel like family! Special shoutout of thanks to Carlos for always being so welcoming! And let us not forget Patrick (the new manager) who stopped by our table to introduce himself and make sure everything was to our liking (plus his suggestion for dessert was spot-on!). Another winning dining experience at Happ Inn!

    I dine here often with a friend. We would typically dine on Thursday’s and take advantage of the $7 lemon drop martini and cosmo drink specials. Unfortunately when we dined at Happ Inn last night we were told the specials no longer existed as of that day and that there was a new General Manager. Hopefully, the daily drink specials are just on hiatus!
