- JSJoy StrongOct 26, 20255.0We had such a great experience at this location. After a full weekend of trunks, treats, and birthdays we stopped in for dinner before our 5yo and 2yos fell asleep heading home. The staff were helpful and welcoming. They clarified points about our order and quickly set us up for dinner without meltdowns. We felt so welcome and the hospitality was top notch! Cookies are also absolute perfection. Thanks to this great team for helping us finish the weekend out strong.
- JHJames HermannOct 24, 20251.0After we ordered, they served many people who ordered after us and were lower in the queue. After we complained, they told us that DoorDash gets served first and never made any effort to address the problem. After more than 45 minutes with still no food, Left and got our money back. There were several other people in the same situation and they got their money back too. Thank you for wasting our time
