- MJMatt Jordan2 days ago5.0Great food and amazing staff
- CMCheri MoehlingNov 15, 20252.0Portions have gotten small, no flavor to sandwich
- PHPamela HudsonNov 6, 20255.0We met my son, daughter-in-law and granddaughters for lunch. My daughter-in-law arrived before us and said that Ethan had pulled together a table for our group, adjusted the blinds as it was warm in there and offered some broken cookies for the kids as they couldn't be sold. Another gentleman came and cleared some plates. The staff couldn't have been nicer. We enjoyed our lunch.
- DKDanielle KrallNov 6, 20255.0The Sips Club brought us in, the food and atmosphere kept bringing us back! Great location with wonderful service, every time!
- AHalice hendersOct 28, 20253.0I ordered online. I got a chicken salad sandwich and it had a negligible amount of chicken salad on it, not spread out at all on the bread. Then the tomato slices were still stuck together stacked on top of each other. Had to put the sandwich together myself essentially. A bit expensive for this kind of thing. Otherwise, everything tasted fine.
