    Cinnamon Roll Pancakes
    Emily D.

    Update: I ordered The Local Wrap for carryout today. When I went into pay, the girls were right on top of my to-go order and even let me sample the bourbon sauce they were using for the special today. They said the owner buys a specific bourbon sauce from somewhere because it's the only 1 they like and will use it for burgers and chicken. Today the special was a crispy chicken bourbon sandwich with bacon, onion rings, and bourbon sauce. The sauce was sooo good. I was definitely kickin myself for not askin what their special was today because I would've definitely ordered that over the wrap since it's always on the menu. I will definitely ask the next time I call what their special is and if they have bourbon sauce. The Local Wrap is good, but I don't know if I'd order it again. I don't hate it, I just don't love it. I think it might be the avocado that I'm not loving since I'm not a huge fan of it anyways.

    This restaurant is just getting started so only one visit. It's replacing The Palace. We had a really nice breakfast. We like a regular egg breakfast. Nothing fancy but prepared well. My husband is fussy about his eggs. I like "over easy" and he means easy. The eggs were done properly. We were very happy with quality. The coffee is good too. The other menu items look really good but we stuck with our usual. It's nice and clean and updated. Our service was good. I'm very happy that it is doing well.

    Great food and great service! I had the bacon breakfast bowl which was delicious, but my favorite was the cinnamon roll that just melts in your mouth. Staff was super attentive making sure we always had water and coffee, despite it being a busy Saturday morning. 10/10 would recommend!

    Best cinnamon roll I've ever had in my life. Also the portions are amazing here especially for the price! Staff is very friendly, delivered excellent and quick service regardless of it being a bit busy. Definitely recommend to everyone and will be coming back soon!

    Service and vibe is great. I think it's the nicest restaurant in town. The menu is inventive and…read moreinteresting. There were a few items I wanted to try. I landed on the ribeye special of the day. Dry-aged 10oz with mushrooms and two sides. Bread is delicious as well as the honey mustard salad dressing they make in-house. What wasn't amazing was the steak. Dry-aged doesn't mean the steak in the back of the cooler that got dried out. It was so tough it was hard to cut and unable to chew. The waitress just kept saying oh no and it took her a minute of watching me hit the steak with my fork and it not giving at all. At medium rare, it was ridiculously hard with the ends dried out. It was cooked perfectly but dry aging breaks down muscle fibers and removes moisture for a nutty funky flavor. This one was a miss. There was nothing tender about it. She replaced it was chicken Marsala. I already had my sides so it was just a chicken breast on a big plate with a mushroom gravy. They forget the cream. The chicken was cheap chicken breast that has that funky texture like it's raw but it is clearly fully cooked. Chicken was flavorless. Sauce was good but could have been better with some cream. In laws we're treating us so I didn't send this one back too. They love this place and wanted to bring us here. We went early on a Saturday about 5pm. It was getting very busy as we left. Burgers are excellent, I hear.

A bit more on the expensive side, but if your looking for a nice meal, this is the place. Our waitress was fantastic. I drink a lot of water and she came over and refilled my cup every few minutes. And she was very kind and welcoming. Our food came out quickly and was just absolutely delicious. I got the Honey Ginger Mahi Mahi and a side of the chef's soup of the day (which I think was steak and potato soup or something of that sort) and sweet potato fries. My dad got a 12 oz NY strip with house salad and mashed potatoes. 10 out of 10 all around. Wonderful

I asked if I could just pick my chili up instead of waiting in the drive through she said I had to reorder. She finally agreed to let me order inside. I wasn't pleased with her hand buried in her butt at all and there were zero customers inside so it should have been fast but it wasn't. The time before that we went to Hillsdale Michigan Wendy's at about 9 o'clock at night and they got all of our orders wrong We waited 20 minutes in line and then another 30 minutes after they had us pull up and then they screwed the order up again They said to give us their name and number and they would replace the food next time we came through I can't remember one time we've gone through Wendy's, where they've gotten it right or got us our food in a timely fashion Fast food used to be fast and it was brought to you by an employee that was energetic and eager to please Now fast food is slow and expensive not to mention they act like you're bothering them or you've ruined their day or ran their dog over These fast food places together or people will stop going because of Dairy Queen just opened up and the food is much better and I never thought I would say that Wendy's needs to make this right and I don't know if there's just not any good employees available or they're just not paying enough I don't recommend this Wendy's, especially if you're in a hurry and you want to avoid pink eye
