So, when Maggie asked me where I wanted to have my birthday dinner, my response was immediate! Erlene's! A tomahawk steak with trimmings, baked potato, a dozen (yes, a dozen) buttery rolls. And, of course, topped off with her amazing pistachio cake. It was wonderful to be catered to in such fine style by a consummate and caring chef. Al the special touches made the evening so special - birthday banners, flowers, table settings, birthday button and hat, balloons etc. all added to the festive atmosphere. A plentiful meal, wonderful atmosphere and lots of warmth made this a birthday dinner to remember.

This place reminds me of hometown buffet but just a tad bit better. For the amount of money it cost it ain't all that bad!! I enjoyed the Mongolian beef station and the sushi bar for sure and the grilled chicken as well that they make right there in front of you on the grill. I was a little skeptical to try the sushi section at first but glad that they roll it in front of everyone. As far as dessert goes, I only tried the brownies which tasted great and chocolate chip cookies which were average. Don't come here and expect to get Las Vegas type of buffet. You definitely get "good average food" for a great price especially during lunch time hours. A little over $35 for 2 people for lunch for a full buffet. Employees were great to me for the most part!

For $15 for lunch it's a steal. Is it high end, no. Closer to a low end Souplantation (god I miss…read moreyou!) but there's definitely something for everyone and with the right expectations you'll leave satisfied. Desserts and Mongolian Grill were the highlights.

This was the absolute best brunch I've ever had. We collectively got the gluten-free French toast,…read morea breakfast bowl, and their house-made gluten-free bagel, and it was divine. We also took home some baked goods. It's so hard to find gluten-free French toast and baked goods that are actually good, and these were UNBELIEVABLE. You would never guess they were gluten-free. The vibe was cute and laid back and the service incredible. Despite the fact that it was very busy, the food came out really quickly. I will absolutely head back down to IB just to come here again. 10/10 recommend.

They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!

I think i've eaten her 3x now and I'm always happy with how our burgers turn out. they give you a knife if you need it, and its such a great burger. I'm curious to see how it is at the Chula location. They also just started a new loyalty program, they gave us a punch card so we definitely will be returning more often if possible. It's a great spot to hang out casually, there are pinballs, games, and a pool table that you can play at. Great selection of beer and spirits. I think this is a great spot for happy hour too!

My family and I stopped here while traveling because of the excellent Yelp reviews. We were looking…read moreforward to breakfast, especially since my dad loves omelets and was excited to try this place. Instead, we left feeling humiliated. There were four of us, and after we were seated, my dad politely asked a staff member which omelet she would recommend since it was our first time visiting. Without any kindness or explanation, she abruptly set his drink down and said, "I'm not your server," in a harsh, dismissive tone. We had just been seated and had no way of knowing she wasn't our server. A simple, "Your server will be with you shortly," would have been enough. What happened next was even more upsetting. We waited about 25 minutes without anyone taking our order. During that time, we watched other tables around us receive service. The table next to us had their order taken and was already being served food while our table hadn't even been acknowledged. There were multiple employees on the floor, including staff at the front, yet no one came over to help us. Sitting there while everyone around us was being attended to made us feel invisible. It was embarrassing, degrading, and incredibly uncomfortable. My family and I couldn't help but wonder why we were the only table being ignored. As a Hispanic family, we left feeling that we were treated differently because of the color of our skin. I cannot know what was in anyone's mind, but I do know how we were treated, how we were spoken to, and how it made us feel. No family should have to sit in a restaurant wondering whether they're being treated differently because of their ethnicity. This review isn't written out of anger or to get anyone in trouble. I'm sharing our experience because no one should have to leave a restaurant feeling unwelcome, embarrassed, or less worthy of basic respect. We came in excited to enjoy breakfast together. We left without eating, questioning why we had been treated so differently. I sincerely hope management takes the time to reflect on how their staff interacts with every customer, because everyone deserves to feel welcome, valued, and treated with dignity.
