Most of them are the same and consistently is a good thing. You know what you're getting every time. There are rocking chairs outside with a giant checkers board as well. The store is the first part once you walk in and they have all kinds of snacks, drinks, toys, souvenirs, shirts and much more. Some of it is branded stuff and most of it is pretty unique stuff. The restaurant is past that and you check in with the hostess and hopefully there isn't a wait. I usually get the breakfast and it's good every time. Breakfast all day as well which awesome. Service was good too.

I have never, in all of my 75 years of life, asked to speak to the manager of a restaurant but I…read moreguess that there's a first time for everything. Our visit began well. Our waitress, Hope, was very sweet and took our order promptly. After waiting about 30 minutes, we asked about our order. Hope explained that a bus had arrived and that the kitchen had been overwhelmed. We hadn't seen a bus or an unusually large number of customers, but she kindly offered us some biscuits while we waited. The biscuits were delicious, although we hadn't wanted to fill up on bread before our meal. When our food finally arrived, my companion's meatloaf was cold, so he had to send it back to be reheated. I had ordered French toast, but pancakes arrived instead. Hope checked her order pad, confirmed that I had indeed ordered French toast, and offered to take the pancakes back. Unfortunately, that turned out to be a mistake. Within about two minutes, she returned with what was supposed to be French toast. It looked like slices of bread that had been hastily dipped in egg and barely cooked. The slices were white rather than the golden-brown color you would expect from properly prepared French toast. I tried a piece, and it essentially tasted like bread. It was so undercooked that I called it "raw French toast." When Hope came back to check on us, I told her that the French toast was inedible. Her response was simply to ask if we wanted the check. When we went to pay our tab, the cashier asked if we had been happy with our meal. I took the opportunity to say no, and she called over the manager. I briefly explained my disappointment and the manager promptly offered to remove the cost of my meal from the bill. That was satisfactory but I didn't get the feeling that she was going to talk to the cook about the fact that such horrible food should never have left the kitchen to begin with. Was she going to try to improve the service for the next customer? I understand that restaurants can get busy, and I appreciated Hope's pleasant attitude but waiting roughly 30 minutes for our food, receiving cold meatloaf, and then being served essentially uncooked French toast is not an acceptable dining experience. What was especially disappointing was that there didn't seem to be any real attempt to correct the problem once I explained that my meal was inedible. I left hungry and disappointed and probably won't eat French toast again for the rest of my life!

The vibe is comfortable, friendly, and very local. You really get that neighborhood restaurant feeling. The food was excellent. They start with complimentary chips and homemade salsa -- fresh with a little spicy kick at the end. We had the chicken burrito, chicken quesadilla, and pork tacos, and everything was delicious. The pork taco has a slightly gamey flavor, which I personally loved, but if you don't like that taste, I'd recommend chicken instead. I do wish you could mix and match different taco fillings, and the restaurant is a little on the rougher/less-clean side, but honestly, neither took away from the overall experience for me. Another big plus: 15% off when you pay cash. Great food, great local atmosphere, and friendly service. Definitely coming back.

For example, it's been a dog age since I've had one of their chocolate shakes, which used to be made with Häagen-Dazs ice cream. When I asked the cashier if it's still made with Häagen-Dazs, she wasn't sure and neither was one of the other people who works there. I'm guessing Häagen-Dazs is out which is quite unfortunate. So this shake tasted very syrupy. I guess it's now vanilla ice cream with lots of chocolate syrup. Like I said, unfortunate change. As far as the burger, it was delicious and quite hearty. The little burger is really big so if you don't have a big appetite, go with the little burger. In fact, even if you have a moderately big appetite, you might be satisfied with the little burger The french fries were a total disappointment today. They were soggy and greasy. Not at all what I'm used to from five guys. It must've just been an off night. Will these changes keep me away from five guys?

My husband went with the Burger Box signature burger, and he absolutely loved it. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients and the attention to detail in every bite. One thing I really appreciated is that they also have a kids' menu, making it a great spot for families. I've also been here several times with friends, and every single one of them has loved it too. It's one of those places that's consistently delicious no matter who you bring. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, the staff is friendly, and it's clear they take pride in using fresh, local ingredients.
