It was delivered to me via DoorDash and was an absolute gelatinous cup of sour tasting potatoes with a little bit of clam. Thick. Cornstarch tasting. Unfresh clams. But I will say that their french fries and wings are absolutely amazing!

True Score: 3.75 Stars…read more Roast Beef Sandwich Have only gotten takeout several times. I have yet to sit in the restaurant to eat. All subs and sandwiches were very good although they are a bit pricey. Their boneless and bone in wings are really good. So, good food but more expensive than your average soup and sandwich shop. Tip: always the onion roll Thanks

The onions were perfect in taste and not over bearing like others I've had . I don't want to go anywhere else . Service is fast, I enjoy that they accept Apple Pay as well.

I got the wings bone in with sweet chili and garlic buffalo. Really nice cook on the wings, but the garlic buffalo is way more garlic than one would presume so I just took them home and put more buffalo on them and that balanced them out really well. They have really good ranch. They also serve blue cheese. They do celery and carrots. I also got my husband some to go wings that they serve by the half pound when they're boneless and so he got a pound and a half and so every half pound you get a sauce option so he got three different sauces and he got the garlic buffalo also another one I can't think of right now and then he got this balsamic fig! It was the most interesting experience I've probably ever had on a piece of chicken was very, very good. There's street parking I don't think they have a parking lot but it's a small space. Honestly they probably do a lot of carry out just because I'm presuming only about 15 to 20 people could actually sit in the restaurant, but the quality of the chicken was really really high it wasn't that busy so the service was good That's it.

Pretty Good Sandwiches- Expected More…read more I've always enjoyed the bakery items at Giovanni's and was eager to try a deli sandwich. What better way to start at an Italian bakery than an Italian grinder. To start they bake their own bread and coat the inside with a house special basil sauce. Layers of salami, prosciutto and ham were tucked alongside the lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, banana hots and provolone cheese. Sandwich was good, but I wish the bread was more crispy. Nice family owned joint, but if you walk in you think you'll going to have an amazing sub, and the sandwich is just good. Not great. Thanks

Honestly, this place has been SUCH a saving grace on my lunch run!! Lynn and Cait are a DREAM! They make me feel like family and greet me with a warm smile and helping hand every time I come in! One of the BEST things about this perfect hometown diner is the fact that they seat you! Not only is the owner regularly present and cookin' up a storm, but all the staff ensures that every customer has the best experience. It truly is hosted, waited on, cleared, from start to finish done with love like you'd get at home. This place wouldn't greet, seat, and get you to eat unless it was a perfect experience EVERY time. read more

It was flavorless and had a smell to it. My 5 year old pointed the smell out to me. The wrap was a little different to me. It was just okay. The chicken didn't taste fresh - like packaged chicken. It had chic peas inside of it, which was different. Sweet potato fries were great. You're probably wondering why I gave them 5 stars.
