    “I want to highlight the excellent service provided by Valerie, the receptionist. From the very first moment she was kind, attentive, and very professional. She welcomed us with a smile, helped us with our table, answered all the questions we had about the restaurant and its services, and was always making sure everything was perfect. It’s a pleasure to arrive at a place and be greeted by someone like her. Thank you, Valerie, for making the experience even better!”

    Always, always, always outstanding! I have never been to a Great American restaurant that wasn't excellent. Whatever the code is for restaurant excellence, they've cracked it. The food, the service, the atmosphere are all above reproach.

    I haven't been here in years, but it seems to have not changed a bit. The food was just ok, but the margaritas I had were yummy and our server was really nice and accommodating.

    I had the grilled chicken with havarti sandwich. The chicken was juicy and the ingredients were fresh but the flavor of the overall sandwich was a little boring. Service was great and every staff member was friendly. I would go again and try something else.

    While the dining experience from this restaurant is good but the ordered pickup was disappointing. I ordered the food at 7:22 PM and got the text about the pickup time at 7:43, and let them know where I arrived. I clicked on "I'm here" when I arrived at the restaurant at 7:42, then waited until 7:55 before someone came and asked for my name, waited for another 10 minutes before getting the food, and it was missing an ordered item. I had to tip head of advance for the bad service. Don't offer it if you can't deliver it.
