It just seems like it would be more natural to me to walk in at the ramp and order then continue walking into the store to pick up your drinks. Today I watched about seven people lined up on that ramp waiting to order before was mentioned that they have to go through the crowd of people waiting for their drinks to the other side to get in line to order their drinks. I just think it would cause a lot less confusion and maybe frustration of customers if you were to flip those two areas

I wish I got the name of the girl who made it but omg there was little to no effort towards the drink. I truly don't know if I want to go back.. if I did it would simply be for their little shop and maybe a regular hot coffee and hope that the barista doesn't mess that up.

I'll start off with the positives by saying that the atmosphere was nice. The restaurant itself is decorated and well-kept. The service was good, and the waitress was friendly. The issue is the food itself. I myself got the Banana Nut French Toast, as pictured. (Yes, they tasted as sad and grey as they look.) Dry and grainy with a strange aftertaste. Somebody in my party ordered the Swedish Pancakes, of which were slimy and tasteless. The Chorizo Breakfast burrito was OK, once slathered with enough salsa to mask its natural taste. I would recommend taking your business elsewhere.

I looked at the daily meal for the day and it was turkey ok!!! So I order the meal of the day. Reminded you there is a big sign with the deal for the day. I mean I read it and I knew what it was and I DON'T even work there!!!!! So she make it and she made a chicken teriyak for me. At check out she said ohh I made the WRONG sub and said 12$ hours n stead of 6.99. Told her I was not going to pay for her mistake. And she said I'm going to remake you the turkey and was going to throw the chicken sub in the garbage. I said wait you're going to throw the sub away. Just give me that sub for the 6.99 price It was her mistake and I point to the sign with the sub daily meals. She went on to belittle me about it. If you're the owner of that subway you should understand one thing. For pennies you belittle a customer who will never go to another subway in his life again, because YOU were too lazy to know the sub of the day and it was like 3:30 pm !!!!!!! How many daily subs did she make that day. Maybe subway should educate their workers or better yet send them back to school to learn to read!!! I would go to subway maybe 20 times a year and it would be 7$ to 9$ per visit times 20. Heay Mr or Mrs Owner make her do the math to see how much $$$$ she costed you?????? Better yet don't let her do the math because she already flunked reading. Point is that was a totally bad bad business decision and I told her that.... What did she say????? She told me she will call the cops??????? Janesville Milton ave subway ....

My dad and I decided to make a drive to go grab lunch, and we don't regret it! The food is just as good as we remember. I had the Italian beef sandwich and made it a combo meal to get fries and a drink, he got the Turkey Bacon Ranch Sub. Both of these were delicious, they are a bit messy, so grab some napkins While the dine in seating was pretty quiet, the drive thru is obviously quite popular for lunch. It's a standard fast food type atmosphere, so there isn't much to comment on. It did take a while for us to get our food, but I think that's due to the lunch rush and number of drive thru orders. I would definitely recommend Doc's for a quick lunch or dinner, the food is worth the wait!

Doc's Seriously Good Food -- Seriously Disappointing Experience…read more If zero stars were an option, that's what this place would get. The service was mediocre, the food was overpriced, and the overall experience was far from what the name suggests. The red flags started before we even walking inside: overflowing trash outside. Then came along someone before I ordered waiting over 30 minutes for her food, followed by the questionable presentation of the trays; dirty tray, paper, dirty tray, paper, stacked one on top of another. Between the lackluster service, excessive wait time, and questionable cleanliness, this place missed the mark on every level. For the prices they charge, I expected a whole lot better. Seriously good food? Not based on this experience. I won't be rushing back.

The Road Dawg Family Restaurant is my dad's regular Thursday spot, and he brings me here every time…read moreI'm in town. Located right off the interstate, it has that classic highway diner feel. The main sign on the pole has definitely seen better days, and the place as a whole feels a bit run down. As you walk in, be careful of the trip hazard at the entrance--it's a bit uneven. It's a little "divey," but don't let that be a dealbreaker. It's just an observation, a reminder not to judge a book by its cover. Note to management: Some minor fixes could give it a little more curb appeal. Stepping inside, you'll see the main dining room and an old buffet area that I assume hasn't been used since COVID. It's all a bit dated, but clean and functional. They serve breakfast all day and have a full lunch and dinner menu as well. Even though it was a relatively busy Sunday morning, we were greeted and seated quickly and didn't have to wait long for our initial service. Almost before I could take a sip of my no-frills, bottomless cup of $3 coffee, our giant portions of breakfast arrived. It was an omelette kind of day for us. We placed a special order for my dad (he's got his usual), I got the Denver Omelette ($14) with jalapeños, and my stepmom ordered the Meat Eaters Omelette ($15). They opted for toast, and I got the pancakes, which were a meal in themselves. While the prices have increased significantly since my first visit, the large portions are big enough to share or take half home, which is exactly what we did. We were a little ignored and never asked if everything was as expected. We did, however, get coffee refills and eventually received the bill and some to-go boxes. Another note to management: The bell that incessantly rings every time someone comes or goes needs to go! By the time we left, I was anxious and extremely tired of the bell. I feel sorry for the employees who have to listen to that all day long! Overall, this place does a good and honest business. Aside from the bell and the slight dip in attention, we enjoyed our meal.
