Don't preach to me when your bathroom looks like it does.

Always consistent Food and drinks are always good and the prices are decent. I've only ever been on the bar side. They have a great shuffleboard. Also a pool table and a pickleball court during season.

The food was AMAZING. If I could eat here everyday, I would without a doubt. The service was great and our food did not take long.

My first time here and I was so disappointed. After hearing how great it was I could have saved my money and gone elsewhere. I do have to say they've done a good job with the social distancing and mask glove wearing with staff and the place is very clean. They seem to follow all the CDC guidelines as well. I will also say the staff of friendly and suffer thru happily wearing those hot masks. With that said they have two people working the entire place and on this day only one cook. It was a Saturday at 11 am. The breakfast times just ended and the lunch menu just started. It was still busy with guests but most were finished with their plates or almost done. They were about 5 new tables that I could see. The bar had one person waitressing and the bartender. It took 10' for us to be greeted by anyone (it's a seat yourself place). After we placed our drink order it too another 10' for her to come back and take our order. We ordered appetizers but chose to have them delivered with our meal because we were nervous about her coming back. The food order which was jalapeño coins, nachos, cheese quesadilla, and bacon cheese fries took 35 min!! Yikes. She delivered our food and the bacon cheese fries were warm and the shredded cheese scarce and not melted, Thick chunks of bacon sat ontop. It was a small portion and not worth the $7. The nachos were cold and served ontop of a plate covered in aluminum foil. That's weird. The cheese quesadilla also had issue. Being very small the cheese wasn't melted either and looked like a child size serving. It was served with salsa out a jar which lacked flavor and sour cream lettuce on the side. Not a good portion for the $8 it cost. Nachos had the same salsa and sour cream on the side and offered the dish zero flavor. The ground beef wasn't seasoned cheese want melted and the chips were cold. Very disappointing to the $12 it cost. The jalapeño coins probably lead the best tasting but it came with a side of sour cream. I would have preferred ranch or blue cheese but I'll take what they give me. Some were warm others cold none were hot. I like my food served hot. Our waitress never came back to check on us to see how it tasted, to ask if we needed refills on our iced teas or if we need anything else like boxes or even our check! I finally had to ask another waitress for all of that. She was more of our server than the other. She finally dropped our bill off and never came back to get the credit card. Again we had to ask the other server. Ridiculous. I wouldn't recommend this establishment nor would I go there again. This is just my opinion. I know several people who love it but o love you go for breakfast.

Lucky Turtle Grill & Lucky Moose Lounge - Smoked BBQ pizza

I had the shrimp and grits. While I wouldn't call it grits, maybe Indiana grits, it was more…read morecornbread, my meal was incredible! I requested the creole sauce on the side as I wasn't sure what I was getting. I was pleasantly impressed with the "sauce" which was some of the best gumbo I have had. My husband had the coconut shrimp and was equally impressed. Our server was fun and knowledgeable, she let me know ahead that theirs was not your typical southern shrimp and grits. She was attentive without being too much. We love the atmosphere, the tables are not on top of each other and the decor was fun! We will definitely be back.

Lucky Moose (DuPont & Coldwater Roads) - big menu, seeming less flavors that I would expect…read more I have visited the Lucky Moose three times in the last 5 months. I have not posted as I have been collectively evaluating their products. The Lucky Moose is located in a strip mall on the south side of DuPont road across from Kroger. Most times there is plenty of lot parking. Though this can be a challenge on busy dine out nights when Ziano's, Cebolla 's and the Moose are busy. At times Lucky's has had a good 30 minute wait. I think this is less likely since Union Social opened up the street. The Moose has a very large and diverse menu. There is something for everyone. The service always seems to be friendly. The restaurant is fairly large with a smaller bar area. I personally find the booths, that seat four, to be somewhat small. This can be uncomfortable if you have have four adult diners. On this visit we started with the fried veggie basket. This, like other appetizers I've ordered here recently, seem to come out deeply fried and tough in texture. The inside veggies were soft and fresh. The pieces weren't very big. The breading was thick and slightly oily to taste. Overall, you don't get much flavor to go along with the thick, hard and a bit oily breading. My wife had the fish tacos. She said they tasted fresh. No fishy taste. She noted that the tacos lacked seasoning that would help distinguish this Lucky Moose product. This characterization is somewhat typical of other entrees I had here. The Lucky Moose has a good variety of selections that can be made into a pizza or flat bread (see attached picture). This option was about $16. The menu says it takes about 29 1/2 minutes to make. The waitress said to plan on 40 minutes - just be aware, which was okay with me! This pizza is a "deeper" dish pizza. I'm not sure I would call it true deep dish as that implies a style with certain expectations. This was really just a really thick pizza served in a deep dish style pan. The crust tasted like a biscuit. I'm not sure if that is unique to this more southern BBQ style dish or if all pizzas have this type of biscuit crust. I was really expecting a more traditional pizza style dough taste. The worst part of the crust was that it came out REALLY hard when eaten hot and fresh. This was so hard that I had toncutbitbwith a knife. This was very different as left overs which I will explain later. The sauce was a very mild BBQ flavor. It had a moderate amount of sweetness and very little spiciness. Not bad. The down side here is that the sauce dominated the chicken and cheese taste when served fresh and really hot - but not that way as left overs. The hot BBQ sauce was so prevalent that I couldn't detect any smoked chicken flavors. The mozzarella cheese flavors got buried in the hot temperature BBQ sauce also. Overall, I was not pleased with my dinning selection. However, this somewhat changed when it became leftovers. Cold Pizza Test - I normally save some pizza to eat for breakfast. My preference is to eat it without being reheated. However, this is a deeper dish product. So I microwaved the pizza, that had been refrigerated for about 32 hours, for 45 seconds. During this time the BBQ sauce "soaked" into the crust and really softened it up. The sauce took a back seat to the chicken and cheese. I could now detect a nice Smokey flavor in the moist chicken. The mozzarella now thickened and provided that nice bed of cheese that you'd expect on a pizza. The 45 second reheated product was very tasty. A softer crust and mild BBQ flavors that enhanced the chicken and cheese. I believe the dramatic difference was due to the overly hot temperature by which the original pizza was cooked. Just my opinion. You visit and make your decision.

Black Canyon Restaurant - House Salad

Black Canyon has a great casual but classy upscale ambiance. Warm welcoming greetings by hosts as…read moreyou enter. Tasteful decor, albeit the bar, patio (seasonal, of course), or main dining area. Choice of booth or table seating. Can be a bit noisy, when tables of patrons forget they're not the only guests in the room, but not to the level that drowns out your own table conversation. Service is usually impeccable and Kiersten (our server the past 2 visits) exemplifies that: knowledgeable, attentive but not intrusive, kind, efficient, pleasant. Hubby had the not-your-ordinary wedge salad as a starter (pictured). Bacon, tomato, bleu cheese crumbles, hard boiled egg, and a creamy balsamic dressing. Very tasty! Me, always a sucker for good French onion soup (pictured), which I always order with no bread or croutons. Broth has authentic rich flavor with just the right amount of simmered onions. The only thing that might have made it even better would have been the use of Gruyere (or Swiss, instead of what seemed to be mozzarella) for the cheesy melt topping the delicious soup. Our chosen entrees tonight were the cashew crusted Mahi Mahi (pictured) served with orzo and fresh green beans, and the seared tuna (pictured) served on an umami blend of Napa cabbage and broccoli lightly dressed in sesame ginger, just-right heat, and peanuts. SO good! Oh...and you can see by the pics that the portions are well presented and generous enough to have some for lunch the next day! Truly a local fav! Great place for lunch or dinner!

Black Canyon (Dupont & Lima Roads) - consistently good dinning experience…read more Black Canyon is located on the very east end of the strip mall located near the Dupont & Lima road intersection. It can be found across the parking lot from Buffalo Wild Wings. There is always plenty of parking near the door. The restaurant is large with an inviting & modernly decorated bar and dinning area. The team here is very friendly and professional. They never disappoint. Making reservations on line is easy. I would definitely recommend reservations! On this night we were seated in the indoor-outdoor dining area. This area is more open, well lit and less intimate than the man dinning area. There were two large groups (12 and eight) seated in this area - nice for larger gatherings. You have a nice view of the lit outdoor fire place. BC has a very large menu. There is something for everyone. Overall BC is rather pricey but not as expensive as some. We started with our favorite corn bread appetizer. It's a simple 2-3 person dish. The bread is more like a southern cake than a traditional corn bread. The inside is soft, sweet and moist. The whipped butter is fluffy, smooth and makes a delicious accent to the corn bread. My wife ordered the southwest grilled chicken salad. She said the chicken was perfectly grilled and moist. The lettuce and fixings were very fresh. The dressing was very light and had a hidden cayenne pepper kick. The salad seemed to grow as you got to the bottom of the bowl - lol. My house salad was also very fresh. Plenty of side items to accent the lettuce. The buttermilk ranch dressing is somewhat unique. It has a smooth and light buttermilk texture without a strong buttermilk flavor. There are hints of ranch dressing flavors. Nicely done! I ordered the BC meatloaf. This was a mountain of deliciously blended types of meats, onions, peppers & spices. You could pick up the short rib, brisket, bacon and ground chuck flavors. The collection was moist, nicely spiced & seasoned and delicious! There was plenty of fresh and perfectly steamed broccoli - nice crisp. The Mac & cheese side was done to perfection! Nicely cooked noodles along with a very smooth & creamy white cheese sauce. It was so delicious that I had to scrap the sauce from the bottom of the dish. Overall, Black Canyon is an outstanding place to dine. You always feel special whether it's a special occasion or just dinner out. Time in and time out...food & service are outstanding!!
