"Nightmare on Pep Street... and I Loved Every Bite"…read more Stopped in after a lab appointment, running on fumes and bad decisions, so I figured pizza was the cure. Loiee G's did not disappoint. I grabbed a Medium "Nightmare on Pep Street" -- garlic butter, red sauce, three types of pepperoni -- basically the holy trinity of flavor. I inhaled it like I was auditioning for a competitive eating show. While still chewing, I ordered an 18-inch Meat Pizza for the tribe back home (because sharing is caring, apparently). This is proper NY-style pizza: thin, crispy, and foldable -- the kind of slice that makes you feel like you should be yelling "Yo!" on a Brooklyn sidewalk. The topping ratio was chef's kiss -- not overloaded like most C-Bus pies that think they're competing in a topping-weight contest. Everyone at home gave the thumbs up, proving I can, in fact, make good life choices when hungry. Bonus points: the pinball collection is serious. My buddy (resident pinball nerd) told me to check out the Godzilla and John Wick machines -- because nothing pairs better with pizza than saving Tokyo or racking up a kill streak in neon lights. Verdict: Loiee G's is legit. Great crust, perfect ratios, and enough pinball nostalgia to make you forget your cholesterol results.

Hamburger Inn Diner

And I think that might have been our downfall. We went the breakfast route and started with a Cinnamon roll made right on the griddle. It created this crispy char that gave the roll more of a funnel cake texture. Unique,and the icing definitely enhances it (as it does most cinnamon rolls). Their special breakfast sandwich, "The Morning Wake-up" touts a "2x the size English Muffin" and they were not lying. This sandwich had cheese, multiple meats and vegetables, and I needed to take half of it home due to sheer size. What it didn't have... sauce. What it needed... sauce, syrup, aioli or something to lubricate all of those toppings. The breakfast potatoes on the side needed salt/seasoning/sauce, too, to be more to my liking. It was a similar experience with my wife's Reuben and the fries that she ordered; the sandwich had its moments, but it made me wish one of us got a burger like most of the other patrons.

Half the light bulbs were not working, the tables were dirty and wonky. Absolutely no plants at all in the entire area. The only attempt at a tropical look was some fake faded plastic grass hanging from fence. This looked like an attempt to create a Hawaiian theme and it was a dud. The menu had Hawaiian items listed that were legitimate....only to be ruined by Gordon Food Service ingrediants. Not one item we ordered was authentic. It was was all pre frozen and air fried or dropped in deep fryer. The prices are more than a little over inflated. Overall a disappointment...The lack of effort on outside decor was ridiculous.

I came to try a breakfast sandwich and got the Gouda Morning. I really enjoyed the sourdough bread, but felt like I could make the sandwich just the same at home. It was obvious that the ingredients are fresh and the sandwiches are also made fresh, which is what made it taste homemade and simple. I wish they added some sort of creamy sauce to add extra flavor since it tasted too plain for me. The interior is cute and cozy with about 6 tables for people to sit. I think it'd be a great place to sit and study or chat with your friends/family.

She was fine, food and drinks were served timely but there was nothing extraordinary about her standard service that would warrant a higher percentage tip.

Instead of put together sloppily like a fast-food place would have, Smash Shack Burgers spent time stacking their burgers and making them look just as amazing as they taste. I had a side of mac & cheese, which was delicious as well. The staff were extremely kind and very patient. We were greeted by a staff member immediately and had the menu explained to us. Everything in the building was very clean and organized, I saw no spills or dirty tables at all. There is only one 2-seat table inside along with some benches lining the sides. This is very understandable due to the limited space. However, there are a few picnic tables outside that were also extremely clean and tidy. Would definitely come back!

This restaurants food is without a doubt the most heavenly food you can ever imagine. It is so divine, that I can't eat other restaurants food that serve the same category of options as this place because it would taste terrible. I am most sincere because I tried to eat wings and pizza at other places and They're just... meh. The prices are a little high, but it is easily worth it, because of how outstanding the food is. And the service is of the charts. When I go here, I get "Hellos" from the servers and even the cooks in the back. They treat there guests as if they're your friends. 10/10. ( ° °) read more

Shorty's always has good service and good quality food. Their pizza always has great taste and a fair portion of toppings. The only reasons I didn't give them five stars is because their salads don't seem to have the same attention to quality as the rest of their food and some of their prices are a bit high. read more
