I honestly haven’t been to this place in YEARS, but my aunt chose it for her wedding dinner—and wow, I’m so glad she did. From the food to the drinks to the service, everything was excellent. Our server was attentive and kind, and every dish we tried was delicious. It felt like the perfect spot for a special occasion. I’d definitely come back again!

Always come here when I’m craving BBQ! The food never disappoints — flavorful, filling, and served in huge portions. The drinks are a standout too — giant, fun, and delicious. Prices are super affordable for what you get, and the vibe is always lively and welcoming. It’s my go-to spot for comfort food and a good time without breaking the bank.

It was my son's 16th Birthday we came with about 13 people. We did call a few days before for reservations. The staff was very accommodating. We paid for all the teenagers meals, and the other adults were able to get their own separate bills. Our waiter was so pleasant. I don't remember her name but she got all of our order correct, she was extremely friendly. She made sure they came out and sang Happy Birthday to my son. The food was good. My son ordered guacamole he said it didn't have enough seasoning, but other than that everyone was satisfied. The drinks were on point. The only thing is they usually have music and that day the TV's were down. It was so quiet. If you just want a quick bite to eat and a nice drink this is the place for it. If you want to get a group together in a couple of days this is the place for you.

We decided to have dinner here on a Sunday evening and were seated right away. Most of us ordered wings but unfortunately the wings were not fully cooked, even though she asked for them well done. We got 2 orders of fries and they were both stale … apart from that ; I got the Shrimp tacos & I’d get it again.. definitely a 10/10. The frozen drinks were Delicious , prices are fair and staff is attentive

The food was good. I love the beef empanada. Others love their spicy green sauce, which you can buy in pints. The Cuban sandwich was OK. The service was fast. They had a lot of different options with hot food. I like the pernil with plantains, rice, and beans. I spent about $15 per person.

Got the ropa vieja for 18$ when I got to school to eat I was VERY disappointed and upset that it was mostly veggies and no meat !! For 18$ I should have more carne. Smh do better especially for students near by.

Sophie’s Cuisine completely caught me off guard—in the best way possible. From the moment I walked in, the warmth of the atmosphere made it feel more like a family kitchen than a restaurant. The service was attentive without being pushy, and everything felt personal, like they genuinely cared about the experience. Now let’s talk about that Cuban sandwich. Hands down, it’s my favorite item on the menu. Perfectly toasted bread, tender pork, tangy pickles, and melted cheese layered with precision—but what really set it apart were the potato sticks. That crispy crunch woven throughout the sandwich? Genius. It’s comfort food with character. I’ve had Cuban sandwiches before, but none like this. If you’re looking for food that’s not just delicious but made with heart, Sophie’s Cuisine won’t let you down.

It’s a no frills inexpensive pizza place. It closes at 8:30pm and at 7:15 they were down to about 5 slices, so if you want by the slice it is recommended you get here earlier!! Very good pizza and service!!

Great service and fantastic pizza! I also tried my husband’s gluten free pizza and it was one of the best I’ve ever tried. I would honestly have been happy to share with him which never happens! Would absolutely recommend Piz-zetta 10/10

Just wanted to highlight wonderful employees. The customer service that I received today from 2 employee here turned around my morning. The location for my mobile order was wrong after walking to 2 locations they were able to help here. Her name was shenel (I didn’t get the other persons name) and you can expect great service with every visit.

Unfriendly staff. Asked for a small plastic cup and she said I have to buy something. I mean.. you’re Starbucks and it’s just a cup… Other stores don’t have a problem giving me one.

Let me tell you... Mubashar makes the best all natural Women's Vitality shake.. Hands down!!!! The staff is amazingly friendly. The best wheatgrass and juices made right in front of you without sneaking and ADDING SUGAR WATER.. like other places..... They have loose tea's numerous natural products and fresh vegan food. This market and the staff is a gold mine.

Ordered lunch at school, wanted some beef stew. Plate was slapped together. Soggy tostones sitting in the stews broth. Meat wasn't cut consistently, very few forkable pieces. Moro was bland and you could tell what little flavor it had was coming from the stew broth. Beef empanada was loaded, but again underseasoned. Beef from the stew wasn't bad but no potatoes or carrots either. Won't be ordering again. Only redemption was the portion size, but that doesn't matter when the plate isn't tasty. No love. Hecho sin cariño.

Probably the worst burritto i have ever had just white rice pinto beans gravy and lettuce and tomato with chicken in a tortilla... should be called Rice and Bean wrap no pico de gallo no sour cream no jalapenos and no flavor at all lacked all the flavors that make a burritto a treat , not even hot sauce is offered for it. You want a salad good place but not for any mexican dishes...

The staff is very friendly and pleasant. The chicken soup with Pico de Gallo is very good and now the only thing I would eat here. I ordered the peril with yellow rice. The pernil was all fat and was not edible. There are pictures of the meal included. I spent over 20 dollars on a meal I could not eat. The yellow rice is the most bland yellow rice I have ever tasted. My co-workers agree and do not order the yellow rice. You can buy prepackaged yellow rice which will taste better. Also, the prices are never the same. I thought maybe at first it had to do with the daily specials, however you can order the same dish on the same day and it may be a different price.

I liked the food but u also like the place inside. The service was nice, I liked the food, and I liked the nice music they had on. Empanada was BIG. I liked that it didn’t have onions inside. Instead it had potato. Super filling. Very good toogoodtogoorder!

Workers here are nice and helpful. The location is good, but inside the restaurant is so hot, need better AC or ventilation system. Delicious and fresh burgers. But, fries were softer than it should be. Maybe, double fry could be better. Milkshakes were great too. Faster than most of the fast food chains, and even delicious and bigger portions. Having to ask for other sauces are little loss of time, it could be great to have a sauce stand rather than asking for different sauces.

Stopped here on way to parking garage & what a nice surprise to have a great tasting burger, grilled veggie sandwich & one of the best milkshakes we’ve ever had! The service was good, food was hot, staff friendly & loved the peanuts.

Five Guys are always consistent with freshness and quality. I went in yesterday on my lunch break ordered and picked up the wrong order taking it back to work. Huge mistake but tasty. Food was good despite not being the order. I was number 29 I got number 19. I wasn’t walking back. I called store the manager just informed me that he wasnt able to refund me my funds back on the phone which is fine and expected but it was the tone which could have been a bit empathic or sensitive to the mistake. I did explain that I dont think I would be returning after this error.

Title: Quick, Clean, and Delicious! Review: I had lunch here yesterday and loved it! The Broccoli with Chow Mein and Orange Chicken hit the spot, and the soft drink was refreshing. Despite being very busy, the place was clean, and the service was impressively fast. It's an excellent spot for a tasty, hassle-free meal!

Either there's a new cheaper recipe or the cool is bad/rushing. My fav is the beijing beef. It was burnt. Noodles taste watered down. Server server me healthy. Service A1. But cooking the food is first. Fix it please

Worker was really nice and service was quick so I don’t want to be too harsh on this location. But I got just the teriyaki chicken in a box and it tasted very strange, almost bitter or sour as if the chicken was spoiled, which is surprising coming from me because I’ve never been picky about how my food tastes. This is my first time visiting this location so I don’t know if this is just how they prepare their chicken. I used to work at chipotle and it was standard procedure to put leftovers in the fridge overnight and heat them up to be served in the morning, I don’t know if that’s the procedure here but the chicken was definitely off and I did come in right around the time they open.

Four of us stopped by for lunch on Memorial Day and had a great experience. We ordered three different dishes, all featuring breaded proteins served with noodles and fried rice—everything was absolutely delicious. The standout was the teriyaki chicken, which tasted far more elevated than the usual versions you’d find at local Chinese restaurants. The service was exceptionally attentive, with staff greeting us with big smiles and making sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. Definitely recommend this place!
