She provided excellent guidance in making decisions on the choices. We provided a photo of what we were looking for and the results surpassed our expectations. Tiffany set up the cake and cupcakes in such a beautiful manner, with special touches. Three key points in working with Triple Tier: 1. Through our interactions, her questions, and how accommodating Tiffany was, the care and attention she provided made it clear she really wanted to do her part to make sure the event was wonderful. We live three hours away and were able to take care of all the details through phone/email/text. 2. As stated the end product was beautiful and exceeded expectations. We ordered vanilla, chocolate, and carrot cake cupcakes. There was a light dusting of cinnamon on the carrot cake frosting making it easy to tell them apart. The attention to detail was wonderful. 3. The actual taste of the cake and cupcakes was amazing. The flavor of each was distinct and delicious. The frosting was perfect, not too sweet. I have no idea how she did it, but the bride and groom wanted a marble cake and it was marbled. It looked like marble, not like traditional bakery marble cake. After tasting the cake, they both remarked "Ok that is a really good cake!" I highly recommend Triple Tier - We have a favorite bakery where we live and the Triple Tier cake and cupcakes surpassed the deliciousness of our local expert.

Bacon was dripping in grease, which ran on the American cube fries & made them greasy. Was charged 25 cents per cup for cream. Sugar container was on table at no additional cost. So I guess we'll have to order our coffee black & use sugar before they put the sugar in packets & charge for that too! Used to have nice art work on the walls. Now nothing on walls, just white paint. Staff was more interested in tending to Grub Hub orders & talking among each other than tending to seated customers. It''s nothing like it used to be.

I found Cookies & Dreams on Instagram. Actually, let me rephrase that... Cookies & Dreams found me…read moreas it o happened that one of their ads slipped in my IG stories. The marketing admittedly got me, so I purchased a custom box for nationwide shipping. I placed the order for the cookies on a Sunday. The cookies shipped out on Tuesday, and I received them by Thursday with standard shipping. They were packaged really well, and I felt confident that they were freshly made. None of the cookies were crumbly, and the dough was super soft like if I had bought them at a storefront. Pro tip: some of the cookies are stuffed/made with cream cheese so you'll want to pop them in the fridge ASAP. I sampled of the 6 cookies, and here's my review on each: Snickerdoodle Cheesecake - Holy cow. So much decadence! I kid you not, this cookie could give a classic Cinnabon a run for its money. It also came with a packet of icing, caramel, and cinnamon sugar with instructions on how to optimize your Snickerdoodle Cheesecake experience. I followed the directions precisely, and it was everything I could ever dream of in a cookie and more. See what I did there? Strawberry Shortcake - Loved it and talk about nostalgia. It was basically a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar but in cookie for. I appreciated that it was loaded with white chocolate. Lemon Pie - Bursting with lemon flavor. I think a secret ingredient is marshmallow, because the edges on the lemon pie were sticky. Green Velvet - This was a pretty basic chocolate stuffed cookie. Turtle Turtle and OG Chocolate Chip didn't make the first cut for me to try, but my best bet is that they will be just as fantastic.

UMMM yes please. I think it was about $20 for the box so a bit spendy but totally worth every penny. I even ordered 2 mini cookies becuase I clelary had to try as many flavors as possible.

One of the best burgers I have had in a while. Enjoyed a hot fudge sundae with M&Ms for dessert!

The kraut was still crisp, the dressing was creamy... if they hadn't had ice cream, I might have gotten another one for dessert!
