    Words cannot describe how much I love their ice cream, but the back room is great too! I like to take my kids to Livingston park across the street and when they get hot, we go over for ice cream!

    Milky Way mudslide is awesome! Get there early otherwise you will be waiting. It is a very popular place and there is always a line.

    The chicken tenders were some of the best I’ve ever had- which they should be considering they claim to have invented them! Move over ketchup, duck sauce is my new favorite dipping sauce for tenders.

    Excellent atmosphere, reminds me of a Vegas Casino coffee shop / diner. The bar is always packed, & chicken strips are great!

    Fried chicken tenders were served in a HUGE portion. Great flavors in the batter with honey. Fish chowder was amazing!

    Possibly the best gluten-free menu I've ever encountered. It's entirely worth the wait.

    Awesome chicken tenders...well worth the 45-60 minute wait times. Or you can do take out and avoid the ambience.

    Get extra apricot dipping sauce for your chicken tenders. It freezes fine, as do the tenders themselves.

    We all disliked our meals. They were missing flavor and barely eaten for that reason. The vegetarian mac and cheese exceeded the price of the lamb and chicken dinners. Service sucked. Host good.

    People that grew up here think it's the greatest thing ever. Food is only okay, kind of expensive, very old unhip atmosphere.
