They randomly started to charge us almost $6 for a side of salsa, less than 8 ounces. After that we limited our visits. Today I was extremely looking forward to a plain cheese quesadilla, which is what I always get. Upon ordering the lady seemed confused, I asked "Can I have a cheese quesadilla please, just a cheese quesadilla." Like I've gotten a hundred times. Along with two sides of salsa, one red, one green. (Like I've ordered a hundred times). We only received a green salsa, so I went up and asked for a red one again. Paid $6 for another side of salsa. Whatever I'm just looking forward to eating at this point. Upon getting home I open my order and see it's half of a small cheese quesadilla (half the size it's always been) and soaked in watery beans and rice. I'm devastated and will not be supporting them again. Ended up just making my own food.

Ingredients were very fresh and it was reflected so in the flavors. Plenty of other choices from this waffle menu to absorb and definitely worth a return visit to try more of those options!

We've had the Samoa, cookies and cream, The Patriot, and Slim Shady but I know the Patriot is my personal favorite while my boyfriend loved the cookies and cream donuts! Also heads up that their donuts are made to order and fresh! Fast forward to our most recent visit, My boyfriend and I were in the area again for a date and trivia in the area so we decided to stop by to grab drinks this time around as we have had their donuts a few times. We arrived some later in the afternoon and we were greeted warmly by a kind employee. She immediately recognized my boyfriend and was patient with me as I was so indecisive as there were so many fantastic options. I love that they offer a donut shake where you pick the flavor of the donut and you get a cute mini donut on top of the shake. I got the maple donut shake as I love maple bars while my boyfriend got their rocket pop drink. Our order didn't long take and were perfectly refreshing and delicious. We hung out in the community room while we waited, they have board games, books, a mini NES, and great older music videos playing. The way they have the place set up reminds of going to a friend's house which I think is such a great vibe to go for! I definitely look forward to coming back and trying more of their menu.

You can either bring your own growler or purchase one on-site. They also have glasses or mugs available for purchase. The brewery is located right off the side of the service road and appears to be in a warehouse-like configuration. There's a food truck on the front that I've heard has some amazing food, although I haven't tried it yet. They do have vegetarian options, so I'll check that out later. The bar dining area is spacious and welcoming for all customers. The bar top has a couple of televisions where you can watch sports if that's your thing. Before you order a beer, I recommend trying a couple of samples, which is what I usually do. The growler I used was about $12-$15, which is a great deal considering that a beer on tap costs about eight dollars for 20 ounces. You can get five of those for the price of $15, so it's a very affordable option. Overall, I really enjoy this place and make it a point to go down there every other month because it's one of my favorite breweries.

I recently had the pleasure of eating at La Garnacha, a fantastic Mexican food truck parked across from Great Wolf Lodge. Despite being on the side of a relatively busy road, the quality of the food and service made it well worth the stop. I ordered two street tacos--one lengua and one chicharron--and their asada nachos. The food was absolutely delicious! The tacos were packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The lengua was tender and savory, while the chicharron had a satisfying crunch. The asada nachos were a highlight, with generous portions of tender, flavorful meat and all the classic toppings. Both the red and green sauces were fantastic, adding just the right amount of heat and flavor to the dishes. The service was great as well; the staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring that my food was ready quickly. While the location is a bit busy, it's a food truck, so that's to be expected. It didn't detract from the experience at all. Overall, I highly recommend La Garnacha. If you're in the area and craving some top-notch Mexican street food, this is the place to go! read more

The restaurant is decorated like you're in someone's home in Mexico, it was so cute! It was very busy when we came in They don't have chips and salsa fyi - this joint is incredibly authentic Not a HUGE menu, but decent amount of choices which right away tells me they do what they do well if the menu isn't 8 pages haha We got quick service, there was one woman seating people, taking orders, and closing checks, and she did it well! My friend and I ordered soup (specifically carne en su jugo), which is my FAVORITE SOUP EVER, and I can't ever find it anywhere, and boy oh boy I will drive the 1.5 hours to get it again and again, it was perfect. They provide maximum of 2 ramekins of pickled carrots (cost if you want more, which were amazing) and 1 ramekin of green salsa (charge if you want more - and it's spicy but so good!) 3 crispy chicken tacos 1 mole with refried beans taquito (not rolled) 1 adobado pork sopa 1 adobado pork taco 2 chorizo tacos 1 hibiscus aqua fresca The restaurant doesn't have any music on, which I always appreciate background noise in general, but my friend and I were talking so much and the place was busy I didn't notice too much We planned on meeting monthly in Centralia and will continue to go here to eat, check it out!!!
