I was excited by the line forming before they opened the window but that didn't last long. We…read moreordered two smoothies- the pina colada and the chia brownie. The pina was made quickly and easily and satisfied my toddler. The chia brownie was clearly problematic in the blender. They took it on and off multiple times, added extra milk twice if not 3 times and it just would not blend. Seemed like a mistake in measuring ingredients so I figured they were going to start over. Instead they shook jiggled and forced this into my cup. I was pretty shocked they handed it over. The person working the blender seemed embarrassed and I'm pretty sure was instructed by whomever was working the register to just give it to me. For that reason I decided not to say anything, but what a crappy way to start a new business. It's an open window. They knew I could see this entire thing and that's certainly not the way to get return customers.

I've been there twice, once shortly after they opened and the experience wasn't great. All the waitstaff was young and inexperienced, except the bartender (I felt so bad for her, she was making drinks, answering the phone, and trying to help out the waitstaff and do the hostessing). I didn't judge based on this, as it was difficult to find staff after COVID and they were so new. The ambiance was a bit bear, not a lot of decor, which made the space seem empty and a bit of an echo, again they were just getting started, so I assumed that would come with time. The service was slow and we were brought the wrong dishes. After leaving my partner and I decided to wait a bit to let them get settled before returning/making a judgement. We went again a year or so later and unfortunately not too much changed. There was a bit more decor, but the rest of the experience was the same, down to getting served the wrong dishes. I still have hope for this place, it's a great spot and again I love how it is right in our little community. I hope they are able to find their feet one day!

After checking Yelp for suggestions, Crescent Wrench popped up as a suggestion. A short time later we arrived at the Wrench. Upon entering the Barmaid/Waitress greeted us with a warm hello. We took a table and were immediately asked what beverage we wanted. We each found something off the menu that sounded good. I ordered the hot Italian Combo which came with fries. My wife had the hamburger quesadilla and she loved it. Both were hot and very good. The Tavern isn't huge, but it is cozy and this is what I'd call a Home Town Tavern.

This restaurant housed Pam's pub and was probably taken on by new management in the last year or so. Overall the place is a perfect place if you like to watch football. The place was packed with football enthusiasts watching the game, drinking beer, refilling popcorn and screaming as their team scores or messes up. This is a true American joint with typical American food. Wings were decent, quesadilla, macaroni salad and fries were great. I'm yet to eat the wrap as I was stuffed and had to bring it home. Overall a great place that's tucked away in a strip mall. Most of the seating is on bar stools with swivel chairs that actually gets you a better view of different games.

With Mazadar and Zaitoon a bit far away, this is going to be a go-to for us when we want afghan-cum-middle eastern cuisine in the fast casual motif. The inside here is really pleasant, if a bit non-descript, although there are a few personalized touches to liven it up. Having outside seating is a huge plus, as is having on-site parking. We had the bolanii bites (excellent), felafel bowl (fine), and salmon bowl (also fine), quite prompt out of the kitchen and pleasant counter service. Everything is in the pretty much now-standard set of options: plate, bowl, wrap, or salad. They do have "group" platters which seem to be intended for catering, which is another nice plus. They do have burgers and chicken for the less adventuresome, but as with its brethren elsewhere in the CD, why bother when there's savory and plentiful near-eastern and afghani options on the menu?

My son loved the burger, while my husband and I absolutely loved the jumbo wings and what were honestly the best onion rings we've ever had. Before we ordered, the server mentioned that the chefs really know what they're doing--and we 100% agreed after eating. The food was amazing, but what really stood out was the atmosphere. It felt like a place full of regulars, with a very warm and welcoming vibe. The staff seemed genuinely relaxed and happy, and there was a lot of friendly interaction and joking between employees and customers, which I really loved.

The bar offers 12 beers on tap, can beers, wine, mixed drinks, and energy drinks. The tavern food menu offers a variety of appetizers, salads, burgers, sandwiches, tacos, personal size flat breads and specials. The prices here seem pretty reasonable. I stopped by Talon's Pub and Grille at the Eagle Crest Golf Club for an early dinner. It was very hot and humid outside, so this was a good place to take a break and stay cool. I took a seat up at the bar and got a food menu and specials. I started out with and ice water and Shrimp Tacos (3 for $9 plus tax) on special served with sour cream and mild salsa. The 3 grilled soft tacos were each filled up well with tender grilled shrimp, lettuce, shredded cheese and pico de gallo. These shrimp tacos were very good. Next, the French Dip ($13 plus tax) served with beef broth for dipping, choice of side (I chose homemade macaroni salad) and a dill pickle. The French Dip sub had plenty of thinly sliced grilled beef & melted Swiss cheese on a soft toasted sub roll. The homemade macaroni salad had a light mayo base with firm elbow pasta, chopped red peppers, onions and celery. Both the French Dip and macaroni salad were spot on in taste and portion. I was very stuffed and got the check which was $23.54 with tax and before tip. Overall, the food I ordered exceeded my expectations for taste, portion size and price. The service here was prompt and friendly. I would definitely stop here again whether it's after golf or just driving by.

Three items ordered, fabulous choices. Steamed pork Bao which came in a 3 piece dim sum basket. The dough was wonderfully soft and fluffy texture expected of a good bao dough.

Ratio of filling to wrapper was excellent, again well seasoned, with a very savory soup. I really enjoyed the fried noodles with chicken. The noodles were enough for two people, and if I'm using the word generous too often ,it's because the amount of food in the bowl was unreal. The noodles were Al dente and bouncy, the chicken was seasoned with a sweet herbal taste.

I always ask questions about the menu to ensure a great order experience. The small dining area is cafeteria style, which if it were not dead would make me feel uncomfortable. The gyoza were particularly good! I would probably go back just for that. The passion fruit tea that I ordered was also very good. The ramen however was okay. It wasn't bad but not great either. I wouldn't come back to order it here. I would come back to try some of the other things on the menu though. Maybe they need to expand slightly beyond ramen? Or put more fresh ingredients in their ramen to make it more exciting snd appealing to eat on it's own. I don't love it when it's just noodles and corn like the cup of noodles that you buy at the store in those styrofoam cups. Kind of a let down.
