    Raspberry Arnold Palmer and Experiment of the week
    Sophia K.

    Great coffee, even better cookies. So affordable and the weekly experiment is always so good for only $3. Very friendly staff and very cute vibe inside.

    #teamedward (a mostly sugar-free version) I shared with the barista that I was celebrating losing 30 pounds. She said "and you look so amazing either way. "

    Caramel Pecan Waffle (pecans are baked into the waffle, caramel sauce is on the side)

    One of the few coffee shops that understands that using great (lightly roasted) beans and not overheating the water allows you to actually taste the coffee and not the burnt mess that most people mistake as strong coffee. (Most people mistake a burnt taste for strong coffee, but it's actually the opposite - heat destroys caffeine.) The people behind the bar are so nice. The space is perfect for those who want good coffee and a not so noisy place to think, read and work. In defense of their waffles... they are thin, crispy waffles. Please don't come here expecting thick, fluffy waffles. They are thin and crispy for at least two reasons: 1) they will keep form after you add delicious sauces (like caramel), and 2) they cook quickly (which means more people can be served by a limited staff). They are still delicious.

    Waffles, hot chocolate, and a work space.

    I had never been to reactor, and since it was touted as a waffle and brunch place I was in. I tend not to drink my money, but I will certainly eat it. My wife 7 month old and I arrived on a Saturday morning to find it warm, windowed, and welcoming. We ordered a hot chocolate and two waffles and sat by the window. The waffles came out in about 10 minutes and the hot chocolate in about five. My wife liked the hot chocolate as she said it was not overly sweet. The waffles were okay, they gave us honey and syrup. However there was no fruit option or eggs and bacon on the side. It reactor build itself as a coffee house I would understand. But as the title on Yelp includes the word brunch and waffles I was expecting a bit more in terms of options. Prices were good, and the wait staff was helpful. The person who took our order was snacking on a hash brown from Taco Bell. If they were actually a brunch place she probably wouldn't have had to cross the border for her own breakfast. The place is nicely decorated and people mostly by college students and 20 somethings. There are four external monitors for those who want a second screen and a few couches if you want to relax a little more. There is also outside seating.

    Cinnamon waffle

    Fantastic coffee (had a black drip--delicious). Great atmosphere. Great conversation with the baristas. Enjoyed the Cinnamon waffle, which was crispy and tasty with a beaker of syrup on the side. Will be back.

    One of my favorite things to do is to explore local coffee shops in any city that I'm in. So when Reactor popped up on my radar, I quickly added it to my list. Reactor did not disappoint. It's located in an area where you wouldn't think a coffee shop would have its storefront, but it's worth the visit. The baristas are one of the friendliest people you will ever meet. They are always so, so happy. They do this really cool and unique thing that I've never seen from any coffee shop in that each week, they release an "experiment". An experiment is an experimental drink that the baristas come up with each week with creative flavors that they get to have fun with! Experiments such as a peanut butter latte and a peach cobbler latte. They have super fun punch cards (mine have furbies, IYKYK), so be sure to pick one up if you're going to be a regular. Which I don't know why you wouldn't!

    This place a hidden gem! The coffee is delicious and will be served in a quirky unique mug if you'd like. The shop is beautiful and homey with good music, and the staff are friendly and personable. Great place to study or read!

It was incredibly welcoming and begged for you to take a seat by the fireplace in the corner. Unfortunately, I didn't have time for a sit-down visit, I was just buying tasty things to bring home from my vacation, for me and for gifts. Not pictured (because I demolished them before I even thought about it) are the chocolate-covered gummy bears! I cannot recommend these enough. This treat is actually hard to find and even harder to find well done, and these were wonderful. The bears were nice and fresh and they had just the right amount of chocolate coating. The dark chocolate drizzle finishing them off was nice but probably unnecessary, and just ended up in a pile of crumbles that was hard to get out of the bottom of the plastic tube they came in. The serving size justified the price, in my opinion. There were so many other great souvenir treats available! But I moved on to the truffle case with all its gorgeous gourmet gems awaiting me! I selected four and was most excited for the Earl Grey one. It was decent but disappointing; I tasted very little tea inside, it was pretty much just a plain caramel filling to me. The other two are still awaiting me. The ladies behind the counter were helpful and friendly, and were patient with my indecision. I also got one of their house stickers for my collection and I was thrilled that it was so reasonably priced! Some places charge SO MUCH for stickers that are, essentially, advertisement for them. I wish I could return soon but I live far away and it will probably be a couple years before I'm back. But you can be sure I'll be making time for a longer trip here then!

Every visit seems to create another unforgettable memory. One of my clients' families especially loved kids' night, and it turned into such a fun and memorable experience for them. As for my own family, we've learned to schedule later dinner reservations because once we're there, it's hard to leave! Some of my sweetest memories are from bringing my mother here while she was still with us. We often ended up being the last ones there at closing because we were enjoying ourselves so much. Kevin and his staff were always incredibly gracious, never making us feel rushed, and consistently treating us like family. That kindness leaves a lasting impression. Reading some of the less-than-positive reviews honestly surprises me because our experience over the years has been consistently wonderful. We've always received excellent service, enjoyed the entertainment, appreciated the comfortable atmosphere and beautiful views from every table, and loved the nostalgia throughout the restaurant and memorabilia. And the food? Absolutely enjoyable every time. Considering the unique experience, atmosphere, entertainment, and very reasonable pricing, I think expectations should be balanced accordingly. Personally, I genuinely enjoy the food here -- often more than at many other restaurants in town. This place is special, and we will continue making memories here for years to come.

    As an Elite Yelp Reviewer, I seldom, if ever rate something one star. To achieve that low of a…read morerating the establishment has to miss on every category - food, service,, and the theme or mission of their place (when they have one). Screamers Family Restaurant, unfortunately, forced me to rate them a single star for those very reasons. We wanted to try it as we'd heard from a friend or two that it was good. And to be fair, my harsh review is just "my opinion". The establishment was very busy when we entered with mostly families, many of multiple generations. Our table for our party of four was located near the front, by the check-in and the bar, was two nondescript square tables, pushed together and basic metal chairs with a slight pad on the seat and back. Nothing special, just functional. Our server took a while to appear. Maybe she was "performing". Screamers is a "musical performance restaurant" where the servers take turns grabbing the mic and belting out loud (and not always good) show tunes and songs from the theater performances they've done in their "other job". I expected really good vocals. Only one of four had that. And It was very loud. And that's not something I generally note in my reviews. I believe a loud restaurant is one where people are enjoying themselves. In this case the restaurant was loud because the servers made it so by screaming into the mic...hence the name? Once our server arrived, we ordered appetizers. She raved about their wings, so we went for them. I specifically and carefully explained to her that I wanted 12 wings "naked" with two sauces on the side - BBQ and Buffalo. I also asked for both Ranch and Blue Cheese for dipping. In about 15 minutes what arrived was 12 wings - 6 tossed in BBQ and six in Buffalo with two servings of Ranch on the side. A total miss. I mentioned it to her and she said - "Oh, I'm sorry about that." - and then exited. I was dumbfounded. In two minutes she was "screaming" into the mic. I wondered....is she here to serve or sing? She seems unable to do both. With atmosphere, service, and theme covered - let's get to the food. We ordered two grilled salmon, "Prime" rib, and meatloaf. The salmon was overdone, but looked good. The potatoes and fries served with each were acceptable. The "Prime" rib was a tough piece of beef rib that was almost inedible. My order - their "famous" meatloaf was not good at all. First of all, it was sliced into rectangular medallions that were then microwaved and topped with a fairly tasteless tomato sauce. This is the first time I've EVER had meatloaf that was sliced, reheated and then covered to the point of no recognition with sauce...at least place it under the broiler and sear the sauce to the top! Now with all of this said, I'm sure the owners of Screamers are good people with great hopes and intentions. And the reviews we've heard from others were that the place was good. So maybe I experienced the perfect storm...or maybe my expectations are just too high and others have much lower expectations and are happy here. But my belief is that I need to be honest in my opinion. I worked in a steakhouse in my college years. Met my wife there. I'm a foodie and I love trying new restaurants. I tried Screamers Family Restaurant and I don't think I'll try it again. It was a rare "One-Star" for me. You may feel differently if you try it. To each his own.
