It's difficult to rate this place for me. I like to be very supportive of local establishments and…read moreit's great this place opened in Whittemore. Let me say that The person I ordered from was extremely nice. Hats off to good service. That being said, it could use some improvement. The chicken parm sandwich I had was not great. Chicken lacked seasoning and so did the sauce. It's a new sandwich for them so it may improve over time. The seating area could use a few more tables. There's a big open area between the tables they have and the counter and the place feels really empty. The racing trophies they have are covered in dust and that kinda grossed me out. They also charge extra if you use a credit card which is a real pet peeve of mine. My sandwich was just under $11 for cash but was over $12 for using my credit card. It was a full 10% up charge. I may give them another try at some point, but I'm hoping this review helps them make some changes.

My family was excited that G's offers Pepsi products while I was disappointed that there were only 2 non-carbonated beverages (pink lemonade and water). We started off by ordering the pretzel bites with nacho cheese sauce and wow, they were delicious! For pizza's my husband ordered the Super G's, my daughter ordered the Chicken Bacon Ranch, my son ordered a pepperoni pizza, and I ordered the Meat Lovers pizza. All four of us were in agreement that their pizza was amazing! The crust was soft and fluffy and the different flavors were scrumptious. Despite the inattentive waitress, I would highly recommend this restaurant as their food was quite tasty.

About 10-15 minutes later, she returned and said she thought she might have forgotten to put in one of our pizzas. We reminded her of the order, she acknowledged it, and said it would just be "a little later." Well -- an hour later, we were still waiting. Our kids were melting down, everyone was starving, and still no pizza. Worse than the delay was the complete lack of communication. When we asked our waitress for an update, her response was: "I have no idea how long." No apology, no sense of urgency. The manager was nowhere to be found -- apparently hiding in the kitchen. At no point did anyone come over to acknowledge the ridiculous wait, apologize sincerely, or offer any kind of compensation. It felt like they were prioritizing takeout orders over people actually dining in the restaurant, which made the experience even more frustrating. When my husband finally complained, we still didn't get much of a response. By the time the food arrived, we were all exhausted and cranky. To be fair, the food was good -- but absolutely not worth the experience. We will not be back. With a little bit of care, communication, and accountability, this could've been handled so much better.
