Food as with any HB is top notch. Its always a damn good sandwich

I had a hard time choosing because everything looked delicious, so we will definitely be back to try the avacado toast, omelettes and more. I had the egg and cheese breakfast sandwich on a fluffy biscuit that was absolutely perfect. The side of potatoes was so flavorful that I didn't need any condiments. The mimosas were excellent-- we had the cinnamon and pear craft mimosa but I think next time I'll get a flight of mimosas so we can try several flavor combinations. Our server was super sweet and thanked us for our patience since we had waited quite a while for a table, but it was honestly worth the wait because we enjoyed our brunch very much. They will be opening another location in Atascocita soon and I'll be watching for it!

When I went there, I had to pick 3 different menu options because they simply just didn't have them in the store. No avocados, no yogurt, no steak, etc, before I was finally able to get something. The service was also a little disorganized. The salmon Benedict I got was really great! Though the sides were not very good. The salady bits seemed a bit old. The potatoes had a strange consistency to them.

Saw a few spots, but we landed at Da Food Plug food truck and listen... they did not miss You can see the food. Seasoned. Flavorful. Cooked like somebody in that kitchen actually cares. As it goes if ya ain't sneezing it ain't seasoned‍... don't bring me no bland mess. And not overloaded on salt! A real cook knows... No bland bites over here pls and thx. And let's talk about that blueberry lemonade. I am NOT a sugary drink person... those days are behind me lol. But that right there? It did exactly what it needed to do. Sweet, but not reckless. Refreshing. Balanced. Hubby said, "not you" ... the drink was hittin' ‍ We grabbed our food, sat in the parking lot, people-watched, and ate in peace. Quiet. Focused. IYKYK. The woman who took our order was super nice, answered all my hubs questions with patience, and didn't rush us while I was getting my photos and vids. Customer service matters... and she delivered. We'll definitely spin the block again.

Culver's is usually a place I can eat when traveling however today it just sounded good to not have to cook or clean. So last stop before home was Culver's. Ordered a side of roast beef NO bun was asked did I want a gluten free bun and I said NO. A side of mashed potatoes "NO GRAVY I'm allergic" I said my next order is for my husband and he doesn't require gluten free so I would like a roast beef MEAL with green beans and mashed potatoes. She said we are "out of green beans" So I said make it double mashed potatoes with the gravy on the side. I would also like a mixer with caramel she said you get one more topping so I told her marshmallow cream. All to go! When the manager brought it to the table where I was waiting it was ALL wrong. Mine was roast beef with gluten free bun which cost extra with a side of mashed potatoes WITH GLUTEN GRAVY that I made clear I can't have. My husband's came out as a side of roast beef (not the dinner I ordered)and one order of mashed potatoes with gravy on the side. My mixer barely had any caramel on the cup so I stirred it all the way to the bottom, and there was literally no caramel in the mixer. Not sure about the marshmallow cream. When I took it to the counter asked specifically to speak to a manager he turned around and he said he was the manager and I said somethings wrong with my order. He turned to another guy pointed and walked away. The younger guy asked "what's the problem" not how can I help you- I said the ticket is all wrong and so is the order as I unloaded it onto the counter to show him he said "well the ticket-says (blah blah blah)" as he starts to read it out loud I stopped him and POLITELY said I don't give a shit what the ticket says it's wrong. He responded don't come at me cussing. I said I didn't come at you and I said and I will repeat I don't give a shit what that ticket says the order is by no means what I ordered and she (girl who took order) was asking for help how to remove bun from order at time of order (obviously the help didn't know how to help her) The guy said I'll have them make a plate dinner like you ordered. I pointed out my mixer and he grabbed it and came back with it as a liquid (like milk) substance. I asked what is this and he said he would fix it. He did bring me another one only this time he put zero caramel and zero marshmallow crème. I basically got a vanilla shake. When I got home I handed my husband the food and when he pulled out the gravy and opened it he asked what is this (see video). It was like water. The whole reason for getting food there as opposed to cooking -he was at home sick while I was at my oncology appointment all day. He got dressed and took the gravy's back to show the manager and asked all the employees watching if they would eat that. Manager said no. Then why are you serving it to me or letting it leave looking that abnormal. He also inquired about running out of beans so early in the day since I was told they didn't have any. He was told it wasn't that they didn't have any they no longer offer them. Horrible experience all around. So as I sit writing this all I can think is what happened and how sad that I simply wanted what I ordered and now I have a vanilla custard in the freezer next to vanilla ice cream I can't have. Thanks Culver's Couldn't even get the mixer right! Oh and just an FYI to Mr Nevermann, if you watch camera you will see the lady beside bring her bag in missing the french fries she ordered!! What's up at this location Culver's??
