    I asked for a "pie cut", otherwise they cut it into squares which is a Midwest thing.

    Pizza has a good taste to it. Thin crust but not New York style pizza.. Has more of a "cracker-like" crust. But still, has a good taste to it

    Too much goodness! We couldn't finish our pizza. Wings were good also, delivered to hotel hot and fresh.

    The $8 lunch special wasn't much bigger than a dollar bill. Pretty chewy and disappointing.

    The $8 lunch special was small and the crust was tough and chewy. Pretty disappointing compared to the quality offered there in the past.

    Deluxe minus a piece!

    Stopped in here for some grub after a few hours perusing the lake, step dad says it's been there since he was young and it's always good pizza. WELL, I have to disagree at least on some level it really needed to be cooked a bit longer. Mom and step dad both said it wasn't as good as it has been in visits past and he said definitely not the same, he noted that at some point the oven used to cook the pizzas changed to the travel through kind and I feel that the conveyor belt needed to be slowed down a bit. The small diced green peppers were pretty much raw as were the mushrooms. Salad bar was consistently being freshened up so that is'a good thing not lots to choose from but your normal small salad bar.

    Stale crusts, nothing to write home about. Their personal pan pizzas are a good single- serving. The salad bar is a perk!

    No service, styrofoam cups and package marinaria for dipping. Floors need a serious cleaning. Pizza was 2 out of 5 stars.

    We were told it was a thin crust pizza and it was; not that cracker type crust at the chains, but a good thin crust.

The patio isn't for everyone as the nearby highway can be loud but it's perfect for us to sit with our dog, have a beer and food. We were lucky and had a great waitress (Christine) who brought out a bowl for the puppy, took our drink order and quickly returned, even apologized for the wait due to the slow pour of Guiness. We sat and decompressed from our long days ride, when our drinks were almost done, she magically appeared and took our order and request for refills. The kickin chicken sandwich was great, just the right amount of heat, the nachos were good along with the salsa. We got a plain hamburger for the dog. We always get great service here no matter what time we get there, this time it was around 6 pm, previously in Octobers visit, it was 3 pm. This location has always been a solid choice, great service (especially if Christine is working) and good food. We will be back in October for more wings, beers and outdoor service.

The bad: The wait staff was not very engaged. I wanted this review to be about the food but that just wasn't meant to be. The Ugly: I am very well travelled on 3 continents. I've dined elegantly as well as from street vendors and I have NEVER had service that was this off putting to the point of being overtly rude, and I am an American who has eaten in France and doesn't speak much French. When we wouldn't sit at the bar, even though the main area was only 1/4 occupied They moved our party of 2 into the side room with chairs up on tables. It went downhill from there. Due to this, it wasn't possible to really enjoy what should have been a fine meal. I will say it is a wise policy to ask for payment and tip ahead of this type of service before it is provided.
