Overall, it is a decent dining spot. I've always wanted to try Dave's Hot Chicken, but there were…read morenever any close locations. Once I looked it up, to check out the jersey location I was going to go to, I realize there is one in Poughkeepsie now. I went there and ordered the mini sliders, thinking that they looked as big as the pictures. Sadly, I was mistaken. They were actually mini, like minuscule. So, they did not lie there. The pictures are misleading, though. Next time, I got the full slider. The chicken selection is really good for these chicken sandwiches, I can say that. The chicken is juicy, it tastes and feels like a quality piece of chicken, and it was a very good quality. The seasoning was also good both times that I had the sliders on different occasions. The mac & cheese was very spicy on one occasion, as if someone went crazy with the pepper. The other times it tasted normal. The fries were also very salty the one time I had them, so maybe the same person went crazy with the salt shaker. The prices are considerably high, but for the quality of the chicken, I will say it is better than Popeyes chicken sandwich. The sandwich does taste really good, I just think it is more of a gamble on who's making it that affects the quality of how good it can be. But if made correctly, it is a really good sandwich. If not, then it seems to be really overpriced for something that may not taste that good. For this spot, I would say the consistency is about a 7/10.

The time I entered after the lunch hour rush at 2:32 PM, it was nearly 20 minutes till my order was taken. And now I have the honor of waiting for the order to be prepared. So I can't speak to the food or Quality but if you're in a hurry, you might just wanna move on to the next place.

I'm trying not to lose my enthusiasm for five guys. The staff is really pleasant, but they've made…read moresome changes that are not for the best. 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? No. I still like the burger and I think the staff is always very friendly.

I've lived in the area for years and never tried Bubbakoo's because of sticker shock. But today…read morethey had a BOGO for the chicken bowl or burrito and I had errands nearby, so I gave it a shot. For $6.50 a bowl, the food is acceptable. To use a modern colloquialism: it's very mid. I liked the pineapple salsa. The chicken is okay, the chunks are decent sized. Portion however is a joke. The main issue is that there is NO WAY I would ever pay regular price for this. $13 each for this is outrageous. And that's without chips and guac. That would put it over $20 Last week Salsa Fresca had a similar deal and the food is better, the helpings are bigger, and they give you chips and salsa. No such courtesy here! You would need to fork over $4 more for that! In my opinion, this place isn't worth it. I'm half expecting a response to this from the owner in an attempt placate me with phoney customer service to look like they care, but the best way to do that is reevaluate your prices and stop trying to squeeze every dollar you can from your customers. And give us chips like your competitors! But I know you won't. In fact you'll probably end up raising prices. Peace out

LOCATION: on the tiniest Main Street I know Adorable…read more"downtown " Wappingers Falls, NY in the beautiful Hudson Valley, just 12 minutes from Metro North's New Hamburg station on the Hudson River ( green) line from Grand Central Station, NYC. I mentioned this cute little town because it's just one of the little niches along the Hudson river that makes a perfect little day trip. FIRST IMPRESSIONS: really quaint storefront, and first impression.Enter through the cafe door which also functions as a retail shop for handmade objects like soaps, etc. The gifts have an upscale vibe-worth a trip back. We had about 15 minutes to kill before attending a Yelp event across The Street so we opted to take the chill off by purchasing a hot beverage at Norma's. The staff is pretty laid-back, friendly, but laid-back. If you're in a hurry, I'm not sure if this would work. The hot and cold beverages are very straightforward and you can get some vegan options here. There were two behind the counter, but I felt they were a little engaged in their personal banter and we're not that attentive. Not a real sense of urgency or purpose. I'm sorry if that sounds harsh but once they did give us their full attention, we let them know that we were waiting for an event across the street and didn't have a lot of time. They asked us if we'd like to sit down with our beverage and we opted to do so since it was pretty cold outside. We ordered two hot chocolate And two homemade biscuits. They gave us a table number stanchion for the table and let us know they would be bringing it to us. We did not need to wait. We took the three steps down to the main dining area, where we were pleasantly surprised that they were having a live event - in this case it was a storytelling event. There was a table available for the two of us so we sat down and quickly realized that the table was so off-balance that it post a potential safety hazard. When I placed my hot chocolate down and rested my wrist, the entire table tilted forward toward me. This is an easy thing to fix, but my guess is that it's been this way for a really long time. That's unfortunate. All that aside, the room was really cozy and had a lot of character - lots of two top and four top tables to provide a very intimate setting with each one having a good view of the small stage Minutes went by and there was no biscuit delivered. More minutes went by and we began to wonder if they had forgotten. I guess is that they weren't making the biscuits from scratch so most likely they did forget. Since we had already paid for everything with a pretty generous tip, we waited a a few more minutes. Time ran out when we noticed that the event attendees were lining up across the street. That's something we could see from the really great big windows that faced Main Street. Reluctantly, my sister and I got up from the table and headed to the counter where we had made the order. We let them know that we needed to go and asked if the biscuits were ready. They seemed perplexed at first and then a lightbulb moment. Yes. I suspect they did forget the order. I wouldn't bother so much but two biscuits and two hot chocolates. It was about $20 plus tip so when they recognized that the biscuits were still missing, they asked if we would like to take them to go. The lack of awareness was disappointing because they were clearly not busy with anything else A minute or two later, they emerged from the kitchen with a small bag, presumably containing the two biscuits. Service was definitely lacking, particularly for what is a bit of a higher priced venue. Maybe we caught them on an off night but my sense is that laid back attitude is built in to the business model. Would I return to Norma's? I'm not sure. The hot chocolate was good, not from a mix, but would it bring me back? I'll let you know.

Chicken was super hot, fresh, crispy with the same good ol' Louisiana seasoning. + Sides (Mashed Potatoes, Mac and Cheese, Cole Slaw) - All spot on and what you would expect from any Popeyes. THE SERVICE ------------------- + Quick, our order was ready upon arrival and order was fulfilled very fast, as expected for a fast food restaurant. THE SURROUNDINGS ------------------------------- + Dated compared to other Popeyes locations as it hasn't been repainted with the new white exterior branding yet. The interior and exterior are still of the early 2000s orange. + Relatively small, tight parking lot compared to other Popeyes. RANDOM OBSERVATIONS -------------------------------------- = Typical Popeyes foot traffic. Customers come and go at random times, but the location is relatively quiet and not in the safest feeling area.

So of course we didn't think it was ours. Plus the order was incomplete. We were in there for 45 minutes waiting on everything. Within that 45 minutes we were accused of stealing the food. We never once left the establishment since we had entered. The worker was adamant that he had given us the food when he in fact did not. He then pointed to the now cold food sitting waiting on the counter. We then informed him that the order is incomplete and we were never told anything. He claims that we never told him the order only the order number. THAT IS WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE WHEN DOING UBER EATS FOR ANY ESTABLISHMENT! They had to make over the food and check that everything was there. After accusing us of stealing the food all they could say is "sorry". This place is trash! And it's workers know nothing of customer service skills. They were also in there cursing at each other's and throwing food items such as lettuce at each other.

The steak was still moist, though. The place was the only restaurant in the food court that was busy. It's not their fault that there's not many tables, due to the Covid virus. Security doesn't allow patrons to eat off the low walls that encircle the dining area. But, they don't ask the people loitering at tables, who aren't eating to move OR buy food! The days of "dining" are gone for the time being. Get your food. Eat it. And go. Housekeeping does a good job of wiping down the tables and seats between patrons.
