    Always good food. Good service. No matter how packed they get, they seem to get you in quickly.

    The staff is friendly and the restaurant/ bathroom appears clean. The food though was nothing special and in my opinion very very expensive!

There were two steak portions just like before, but I think they were a bit smaller. (Maybe I was hungrier than last time?) It was still good with generous gravy and hash. It came with a pancake which was very good as well. The ambiance has changed since last time. They opened it up a lot more, and I like it. There was a pretty good crowd for lunch, but still plenty of parking and seating. Still quiet enough to have a decent conversation. The service was excellent as last time... however my server gave me the check before asking if I wanted anything else and never followed up. I was going to order more. So, that's why I'm giving 4 out of 5 stars. I was hankering for some rice pudding, but never got it. :-( I'll just have to make another trip someday. :-)

That's funny because their business hours even say they are open til 4. Workers were leaving out the side door but the guy I spoke to said he didn't speak English. I got my refund but still a little upset as I wasted gas to come up here and back home and it's was a 25 min drive and we all know gas prices are through the roof. That's 50 mins I can't get back with nothing to show for it. New customer that does not plan to return!

    Now I'll be honest, walking in, I wasn't exactly sold. Dimly lit restaurants and I have a…read morecomplicated relationship. I like to see my food before I commit to it. But once I got settled in, the atmosphere was actually pretty cozy and inviting. What immediately impressed me was the service. This place was packed, yet our appetizers arrived within minutes. Not only were they fast, but they were genuinely delicious. That's the kind of first impression I can get behind. Our waiter Lupe was absolutely wonderful. Friendly, well-spoken, constantly smiling, and knowledgeable about the menu. When we asked for recommendations, he didn't miss a beat. We love an educated server, it makes all the difference. Now for the main course. I ordered the patty melt, and unfortunately, it just wasn't my favorite. The smell threw me off a bit, and the sandwich itself ended up tasting both soggy and burnt at the same time, with the flavor lingering longer than I would've liked. It happens. Thankfully, the fries came to the rescue. Crispy, flavorful, and exactly what I wanted. But the true star of the evening? That cookie skillet. Baby, THAT was my real dinner. Warm, gooey, fresh from the oven, topped with the perfect amount of melting ice cream. I practically forgot I had ordered anything else. So while my patty melt and I may not be speaking anymore, the excellent service, speedy kitchen, delicious appetizers, amazing fries, and that heavenly cookie skillet made this a great experience overall. I'd definitely come back next time, I'll just let the cookie skillet lead the way.

If anything, it was less impressive this time... The service was OK. The greeter was cordial and got a good booth. (They do not take reservations for small parties, but allow you to call ahead and they'll try to have a table ready.) our server was attentive and efficient, if a bit brusque. Food came without delays. Food was the big disappointment. My salad was limp and the honey/mustard dressing was too sharp and did not taste good. Blackened haddock would have been OK, but was dreadfully salty. Fries were OK. Another diner said the Reeuben was gloppy and falling apart. There's a compact but decent selection od beers on draft. I won't be back -- the food was too disappointing. If I had a do-over, I'd have lobbied group to go to Hardware in North Aurora -- close and much better food.
