Beware of the hipster casting sleepy spells. After 20 minutes of waiting to be served, the hipster ignored us and all of us became suddenly tired.

This place sucks- so overcrowded with bad dancers. The DJ played the same set as the other week. Get a new DJ!

I ordered a vegan skillet meal & it came 2 hours later. On top of that long wait, it also came with bacon. Get your shit together Wonderland! Not eating here again.
