Our server was nice, regularly stopping by to check up on us. My burger was not the most savory burger. The flavor was dull. It was cooked well done as I asked so that was good. My favorite part of the restaurant has to be the music. They played 2010s throwbacks the entire time and as a millennial it got my table pumped up! 4 stars for the friendly service & music.

Next time I want to get the giant pretzel. It looks so good on the table next to us. We went for a late Saturday lunch and there were people there, but it wasn't too noisy so we were able to have a conversation. They were decorated for Valentine's Day and it's just a really cute and cozy place to go.

The place didn't feel very clean and came off like a cheap ramen spot, but without the taste to back it up. Ordered Slurp Spicy -- 2/5. Too sweet and lacked depth. Didn't feel authentic beyond just the ingredients. Slurp Smooth -- 3/5. A bit better -- chicken and broth were okay. Chicken gyoza -- 1/5. Honestly bad... felt like a waste of money. Staff were nice, and they have a restroom with parking nearby, but I saw workers taking out trash through the dining area, which didn't feel sanitary and hurt the experience. Overall, not a place I'd come back to.

This review is not just for the place, but for Nick who works there as the front manager. We were…read moregreeted when arriving on a busy evening last weekend. The place was very crowded and pretty fast paced, but Nick took the time to explain a few things to us, and he was very friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and a calm guy despite the busyness going on. My son and I had Ramen bowls that were plentiful and very good! We sat at a table when one opened, and we were delivered our food by none other than Nick once again. He was again - super friendly and genuinely calm, even though he was doing three different things at once! I marveled at how chill the guy was and told him so! So: Food excellent, staff excellent, and wait time despite the crowd was also very good. ONE complaint is that they had no way of taking tips on the credit card up front at the register when you paid! That is unheard of and very unfair to the employees who are working hard for whomever owns this place!! I urge the owners to immediately rectify this situation!! We did not have cash on us, and I apologized to Nick that we couldn't leave anything for them. He didn't mind at all - but I did. OWNERSHIP - please fix this immediately so your dedicated employees like Nick can be compensated/thanked by appreciative customers. Pete G.

The food is great, I've never had a bad meal here, and even tho incredibly busy the staff is always friendly. My go-to's are usually the pork tacos, yum, or the not so fatso shrimp burrito. The burritos could feed a family of 4! lol ok maybe a slight exaggeration but I usually have to share one or save half for another meal. You can almost always find a spot at the counter (and maybe make a new friend as you're munching on deliciousness as gracefully as one can), but to-go is usually the way I go. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed!

am writing to share a disappointing experience my daughter and I had today at your cafe location…read morePort Jefferson Station NY 11776 store#4077. I was visiting with my two granddaughters (ages 10 months and 3 years). As any parent or grandparent knows, getting small children out of the car and settled into a restaurant is a significant undertaking. After we placed our order, which came to a total of $43.64, I attempted to pay with a $50 bill--the only cash I had on hand. My daughter did not have her purse with her at the time. To my surprise, the cashier informed me that you do not accept $50 bills. I looked around and noticed there were no signs posted outside or at the register notifying customers of this policy. I asked to speak with the manager, Jenny Rivera, to see if an exception could be made given the circumstances. Her response was dismissive. She stated that she receives "too many" $50 bills that she has to exchange at the bank and that if she accepted mine, she would have to accept everyone else's. She concluded by telling us that if we couldn't pay the $43.64 exactly, we simply could not eat there. While the management showed a complete lack of empathy, I was moved by the kindness of strangers. Two individuals in the lobby overheard the exchange and insisted on paying for our meal. While I am incredibly grateful for their generosity, it is embarrassing that your customers had to provide the hospitality that your management refused to offer. I believe your staff should be empowered to use common sense--especially when the bill is nearly the amount of the currency provided--and that your cash policies should be clearly posted to avoid wasting customers' time.

I've always enjoyed Panera for their sandwiches, soups, smoothies, and bakery items, and I…read moregenerally feel the quality is worth the price. Recently, I've been ordering their Caesar salad more often and adding extra toppings like croutons, cucumbers, corn, and extra egg. My only consistent issue has been with the portioning of the eggs. I pay $1.38 for extra egg each time, but the amount varies significantly. Sometimes I receive two whole eggs, other times one egg cut in half, or pieces of halfs. With eggs being expensive, I would appreciate more consistency in portion size, especially when paying extra. Overall, I enjoy Panera, but this is something that would improve the experience.

Order at the counter and the food gets run to your table (self-seating). The kitchen forgot two of our meals and took a while to verify what we ordered, since there are no receipts given and it is cash-only, but we did eventually get all of our food. No frill, no fuss, just cheap, tasty eats and drinks with good vibes.

Tara is a great place for a birthday get together from old old school friends.

This location has the potential to be great if they would follow through more often than they do…read more The dining room closes at 9PM an hour prior to closing time. However, by 8:40-:45 consistently you're encouraged not to dine in. I work most evenings so this is not a one time occurrence, this is just about every time. Employees will sometimes come around and deliver the party line that it would be their pleasure to get you drink refills, etc. but too often they don't come back to do so and I have to go up to the counter for assistance. Rarely to never am I given a tray in the evening, always paper bags when I do manage to get there in enough time to be allowed to sit and dine (still haven't figured out what the sweet spot is leading up to 9:00). The Valentine's Day dinner event was advertised via an email my husband received for having the app as going to 9PM. He did the RSVP and was confirmed for 8:40 with a table meant to be waiting for us. We arrived on time but did not receive table service but rather had to order at the counter and got the good 'ole paper bags and the singer was putting her keyboard and equipment away...only the kind mascot was left to remind us of why we had chosen to join in on this event. So, I'd say follow through PLEASE as appearances/promises are simply not enough all the time especially on a holiday.
