First off, I want to give a HUGE thank you to the Cooper's Hawk Team for making my birthday feel so…read morespecial. My friend treated me to a birthday lunch this week and when we got to the table, the staff had a birthday card waiting for me! How thoughtful! We came during happy hour and decided to try a few small plates and drinks. The Egg Rolls are a must! They were packed with flavor and a variety of ingredients. My friend especially loved the shrimp. We also tried the quesadillas and sliders on the happy hour menu. Both dishes tasted incredible! Sadly, though the happy hour has half priced apps, the plates are also half sized. They were absolutely delicious, but the dishes felt overpriced for the portion size. As for drinks, I tried the sangria flight. I wasn't expecting such a full portion size and was pleasantly surprised with that. I did, however, only find 2 of the 4 drinks to be especially tasty. I wouldn't order that flight again, but would be interested in their wine offerings. I loved the low lighting in the space as it set such a calm and laid back mood. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and especially loved the food! Totally recommend.

For the main dish I ordered the Pretzel-Crusted Pork Chops. I give dish the lowest score. The pork chops were dry. The pretzel crust was overwhelming and took over any flavor the pork chops were suppose to have. I picked the Salted Caramel Creme Brûlée for dessert. Yum. I would definitely order dessert again. This can be a nice venue to get together with friends and family. It's a low light calming atmosphere. Our waiter seemed frustrated maybe just having a bad day. Not as attentive as other staff in my past experiences. The parking can be limited near the restaurant. If you don't mind walking a little, there is plenty of parking in the shopping plaza area.

The restaurant also helped to celebrate our anniversary with complimentary champagne and a decadent dessert ( the cookies and cream cheesecake ) worth every calorie Dustin the manager came by to see how things were going and also shared some of the history behind the restaurant. Love this extra touch . After dinner we went upstairs to have a drink at the bar . The atmosphere and ambiance of the place was amazing . You saw young and old some families . They have outside seating as well . Beautifully done . We will be back !!

A perk of going early was we were able to participate in happy hour! We got some discounted old-fashioned, which were lovely. For dinner the portions were large and since we got Bite30, we got three courses. I got the fish bites and it was a generous portion, they were fresh and light, and I shared them with my baby. I think he ate more than I did! For dinner, I got the ribs, with mac & cheese. The ribs were flavorful, and the mac & cheese was seasoned very well! To be honest, I don't remember what I got for dessert, I think it was toffee cake or bread, pudding or something? It was very good though, my husband got the Keylime and he was jealous of my dessert. The manager and the chef both came out and said hello and checked on us, which we both appreciated. It was a great experience overall, we want to come back and try their brunch!

The kids walked in with their eyes wide open, ready to try everything. We had to slow them down. This place is huge...bowling, arcade, axe throwing, karaoke, pool, and more. We got the kids arcade passes for $20, and they had a blast. I even squeezed in a few games of pinball and almost hit a high score. Bowling was affordable too, about $30 for the lane and $4 a person for shoes. The music was on point without being too loud, which I appreciated. After a few gutter balls, we got the bumpers up and the kids were all smiles. We ordered food right to the lane. It came out fast, tasted good, and the drink specials helped keep the bill reasonable. Around 9-10 p.m. it shifts to more of an adult vibe, so keep that in mind if you're bringing kids. Overall, it was a great family outing that didn't hurt the pockets. There's still plenty we didn't get to, so we'll definitely be back. Maybe next time for axe throwing or karaoke with just the grown-ups.

Even though the items tasted good, the flavors it was supposed to have didn't come through. I'm glad to have stopped by and tried it, but would not recommend for a quick bite in Waterford.

As I said, they poorly attempt to bring cheesesteaks to the communities that they serve. Think of their food as kind of a fast food version of a cheesesteak. Maybe I am being overly critical. I have lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the mecca for cheesesteaks and ground zero for the best cheesesteaks. As I said, I am perhaps overly critical of cheesesteaks, but in my defense, I have often been let down. But I have to say that even for someone that never tried a cheesesyeak from Philadelphia, they would still be let down by this subpar rendition of a cheesesteak. There is one advantage to the place. It is located in the Waterford Lakes Town Centre. But that is little consolation or advantage to getting a cheesesyeak from here. I cannot recommend here and honestly, it might be a gift giving this place two stars.

This is a delivery review. The Kobe Burger uses Australian Wagyu which is definitely beefier than standard ground beef and a bit different flavor than Angus. This burger was topped with Swiss, lettuce, sautéed onions, tomato, and I think sautéed mushrooms. The "problem" I have with so many topics is that it masks the higher end beef flavor. To me, if you're serving really good beef, go easy on the toppings. But I digress. I ordered it medium rare and it was cooked perfectly. Overall a very tasty burger and I will definitely come back just for that. The side of fries seem to be twice fried and maybe a touch over done. But still fine. The Chicken Parm was top quality and executed perfectly. The pasta was overcooked but that could be from the extra time for delivery continuing to cook and steam the pasta. So, maybe it would have been perfect in the bistro. Overall, a pretty good experience and I definitely want to head back. One detractor for dine in, for us at least, is this is a very lively place and the music is typically loud. So if you want a quiet meal, this isn't the place for you! And that has kept us away a couple times while walking around AP looking for lunch.

They offer beef, chicken, Impossible, and veggie patties, along with a wide variety of cheeses and buns to choose from. My Impossible Burger was tasty, but I'm not sure it quite justified the price. On our first visit, I got a very impressive looking shake loaded with toppings, unfortunately it wasn't on the menu this time around. It's not my top pick for burgers, but it's definitely not a bad option either.

To my surprise, I was disappointed by the food. I got the loaded frings and a 5 x 5 burger. I believe the burger is relatively new, since it wasn't on any of the pictures of their menu on Google. Ambiance: The staff was friendly enough and I do like the fact that you can see them cooking the burgers in front of you. However, looking around at the restaurant, it looks like there was no upkeep. There were broken tiles, tables weren't cleaned, and I believe there might have been mold when I was filling my water cup at the ice machine, like visibly on the spout. Food: Loaded frings- I'm not sure how you mess this one up, but they somehow did it. The fries were overcooked and the bacon was fried to hell. I think you can actually see how burnt the bacon was in the pictures. It tasted like charcoal. Lastly, the fries were completely soaked in cheese sauce, which I'm guessing was from a can. It tasted like the cheese you'd have at state fairs, except more watery. There was more sauce than fries and onion rings! I should have taken a picture after eating half of the fries. I could not eat the bottom half of the frings because it was all soggy Burger- the same cooked-to-hell bacon was used on the burger. Not much else need to say about that. Looking at the picture of the burger, you'd think that the patties were way overcooked as well. That was not entirely the case. The patties weren't extra dry, but they weren't as juicy as I would have liked a burger to be. I'd say it was just okay. Maybe a half step below average. I really wanted to like this place, but I wasn't able to. I'm not sure if I came by on an odd day, because the reviews say otherwise. I really hope management can fix these issues.

Inside, the restaurant is cheery with plenty of natural light. The styling is modern, country chic. Our food came out with impressive swiftness. I added the Million Dollar potatoes, which was my favorite dish. That parmesan cream sauce with the Million Dollar Bacon, amazing! The cheesy grits were also really good. The biscuits and gravy were mid. For breakfast it's a bit pricey for me, but the tastiness and variety of appetizing options are, for the most part, worth it.
