    The breakfast is reliably good with many choices. The Day-After-Thanksgiving sandwich is a simple idea that they execute really well.

    The chicken and waffles are fantastic, and you also get sausage or bacon! It's way more food than necessary, but worth it.

    Vegetarian friendly - one of the few places where you get charged less if you skip the meat. Boom.

    The breakfast is so good, but the fried chicken is to die for! Most delicious batter for it!

    Jamaican jerk chicken wrap is godly. Ordered several times during the quarantine and it has yet to disappoint.

    They've changed the Chicken & Waffles recipe in the last 6-8 months - not as good as it used to be. But everything is is still great.

    It didn't used to have a juice bar, but it does now after the refresh/remodel. Nice job. Good, solid food here. Nothing too fancy, but who wants fancy all the time?

    Wont be going back. Described current Poor Experience to management/owners via their Facebook page & it was ignored. They simply don't care. Youthful inexperience & Pride will have them closed in 2yrs

    Day after Thanksgiving Sandwich is by far the best on the menu. The chicken-and-waffles put all other attempts to SHAME.

    Very disappointed. The service was terrible: the guys that work there are completely indifferent to their own incompetence and negligence. Never again. lola2009 is the wifi

    Not very much steak on the Steak & Onion sandwich. It tastes good but I wouldn't order it again. The LT omelette is delicious, though.

    The food was just alright... Nothing memorable there was little to no seasoning on the food.... It was a true eating for hunger not for pleasure.... I ordered the Breakfast Lola and was disappointed

    Pecorino chicken would have been good if it wasn't overlooked til the consistency mirrored boot leather.

    Waited half hour for food that never came. After I complained they said they lost the number. But never bothered to come and asked what we ordered. Previous time they said they had a problem with pos.

    Food is ok, service is poor. Lost order first time. 45 minutes to get food 2nd time and it wasn't hot. Wasn't very busy either. Needs better management.
