Beware...the crowds are big and the lines are long. But...it's worth the wait!! At the bottom is a medium sized cube of slightly warm shortcake. It is moist, sweet and slightly firm. The top of the cake has a thin layer of almost crispy granulated sugar - more sweetness! The bowl is piled high with fresh, lush, red strawberries. Some sweet, most firm and a little juicy. A good sized dollop of vanilla soft serve and whipped creme lay on top. The combination is delicious! It easily feeds more than one dessert lover for about $9.50. Strawberry Shortcake marks the start of spring season. Make a special trip to Upland to visit Ivanhoe's if you have never been there!

The wife and I stopped into this Arby's on a recent trip between Fort Wayne and Louisville for…read morelunch. We hadn't had Arby's in a while and sometimes it just sounds good. It's also conveniently located right off of I-65, so easy-off/easy-on. The gentleman behind the counter was patient and informative while we made our decisions. I had one of their Market Fresh sandwiches on my mind, but apparently this location doesn't have those, so I had to settle for something else. That something else decided it wanted to be one of their Greek Style Gyros (they're always a safe bet). My wife ordered a classic Roast Beef sandwich. We also ordered a 6-piece mozzarella stick to share (I can't stand Arby's fries). Our order was not overly complicated. Then came the wait time. It was Sunday afternoon and the place was not busy. The drive-thru was busier than the dining room, but the place wasn't slammed. There were 2 other tables occupied when we walked in. There were two other people standing by the counter waiting for orders as well. Our food was delivered close to 20 minutes after it was ordered. Was it right? Yes. Was it warm? Mostly. As we ate we heard other customers remarking about the wait times, which I'll have to admit, were excessive. During the nearly 45 minutes we were there no one came out to look at the dining room, and we had to wipe off a table with a napkin. There were a number of tables that needed attention and half of the trash bins needed emptying. What started out, in theory, as a quick stop for lunch ended up being nearly an hourlong affair.

The restaurant was a lot more kitschy than I was expecting, which I loved. Our waitress had a wonderful energy. She was very knowledgeable about the menu. The menu had several unique items. I ordered a Scottish soda called IRN BRU. I love trying food and drinks from around the world. It tasted like an Orange Crush soda. Our waitress said they were known for their Cauliflower soup. It was cold outside so soup sounded perfect. I also got a pepper jack grilled cheese. The soup came in a huge bowl. The combo of the soup and grilled cheese was very filling. My friends ordered the sticky pudding. I had a bite and it was delicious. I cant believe it's taken me so long to eat here. I throughly enjoyed it and cant wait for my next road trip.

In fact it is my favorite restaurant of all time. Sunday we stopped again. I had the British chicken curry and the fatoush. It was amazing as usual. That fatoush is so refreshing! My wife had the pork chop which comes with these amazing mashed potatoes with mustard seasoning that will blow your mind. She can never finish because it's so much food, which is OK with me because I help her out some. My favorite way to eat this is to mix a little mashed potato, mustard and pork chop together into one delicious bite. We were too full for dessert, but the times that we had the dessert here were spectacular as well. Thank you to all the people that work at Paynes, please don't change anything, you are the best!

We waited for over 20 minutes in the drive through for 4 cars and then the order was wrong (mayo and we asked for none). We went in to get it corrected and it took another 12 minutes to get the sandwich back correctly. There is literally no reason that fast food should take this amount of time. The service is so bad that when I got the corrected sandwich inside a dude leaned over and said "congratulations!" because he'd been waiting forever and they had expedited my wrong order. Yikes
