Ordered chicken and waffles honey-dipped over cheddar scallion waffles, served with coleslaw. I love that the waffles are served with maple syrup and also a hot sauce. And I ordered a side of Mac & cheese topped with cornbread crumble. Sooo good. And they give you free dessert - lil chocolate donuts.

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!

The chicken was nice and shiny with the sauce but tough like rubber. Shrimp was excellent but I almost got a Charly horse in my jaw on that touch skin and rubbery meat.

The pinacolada was one of the best I have had had. The plant burger was awesome as well. Plenty of tables- busy but not overcrowded.

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.

Decent Cuban spot. Staff is nice and friendly. They have a good selection of food to pick from. You get a good amount of food too. The food was good but not amazing. Honestly a little expensive for the type of food but still tasty.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

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.
Etka Güngör - 8 months ago
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.

Not tasty. They’re cutting corners and using the cheapest ingredients. They used to have a banana shake that was genuinely great, but they changed the ingredients and now it’s awful.
The staff clearly don’t care. It feels like the owner retired and everyone just does whatever they want, or it’s some franchise where no one follows any standards.
I’m honestly pissed. I’m tired after work, I come in to eat, and what they served was bad. They literally slapped the sauce only at the very end of the burger. Why? Is it that hard to spread it properly? It’s a small detail, but without sauce the burger was dry and bland.
I paid almost $30 for this meal, and I want to erase this place from my memory.

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.

I Like the food so good and the chips and the sandwich.👍
Tomasina Palacios - a year ago
I worked in area so visited store 5 days a week. I got coffee in mornings,breakfast & sometimes lunch. I liked going there for the variety offered,sandwiches, hot food & salads. if you were looking at menu posted and omit something or add found pricing grossly different by the time you got to front counter to pay. This happened on more than 1 occasion almost as if pricing was made up as you go along. I paid different pricing on different days for same item. and you have to remember to ask for specials so they can re work close to what is posted up on menu or then you feel like you are getting a better deal.. I was always rushing off to work so i didn"t dispute. This is terrible.... you always have to walk around with cash because this business will NOT accept any credit cards or debit cards.

Got an Italian sub. Bottom half of the bread was really soggy, like the veggies were dripping wet when they put it on.
They also charged me more than what's posted on their menus in the store (aka more that just the listed total plus tax). I'm seeing other comments about people being charged differently as well.

Great choice of food and everything we had was exceptionally good.
You could see it all being cooked fresh and it was churning through as very busy.
The only negative was the rudeness of a large lady that worked there.
I had inadvertently got in her way when waiting to be served and when I realised and apologised she tutted at me and gestured me out of the way.p with a sour face.
Not impressed at all and will not return!!!

Ordered delivery and ate inside of this restaurant many times. The entrees and sides are always superb, but more than once they forgot to pack something I bought into my delivery orders. For that reason I will deduct one star.

Panda is my go to line restaurant for a reason, I was welcomed by Edwin into the establishment and he was very generous with my portions. His positivity and kindness was the seasoning to make everything great thank you! Also the green onions in the fried rice are so nice! 🤩 when I say down every spot was clean around lunch.
