So I travel around a lot and I do reviews on food oh my God this is the best diner I have ever been to ever and I mean that not one complaint about anything me and my husband got short rib, mac & cheese loaded fries oh my God try them. You are not going to regret it. The short ribs were the best ribs I have ever had. There was nothing dry about them. They were so tender and melted in your mouth. OK next I had the fettuccine Alfredo on top of vodka sauce chicken cutlet mad cheesy so much sauce. The chicken cutlet itself was completely tender and crispy. it was so good. They even gave us buttery garlic bread to go with it delicious. Next, we got the birria super breakfast burrito spot on ginormous you’re gonna save some for later. Trust me because it is so huge. It has a lot of flavor. Unfortunately, after trying all that stuff we were so full we couldn’t move so we didn’t order dessert but they gave us donuts complementary so nice of them . The energy when you go in OK the patience of the waiter the respect of the people inside as soon as the dish was dirty they were right on top of it Very very kind i’m going back until I try every single thing on that menu !!! They deserve recognition !!!!!
We ordered the birria crunch wrap and the buffalo chicken salad wrap the buffalo was great the birria was lacking flavor. Was this the worse birria I ever had? Absolutely broth was very oily and had no flavor, however the onion rings were fried to perfection. The serving was great. Would I come back? Maybe but would definitely order something else.
Enjoyed a dinner here, and returned for breakfast the next morning. Dinner was very good, we had a burger and a southwest salad. Both tasted very good, and surpassed diner expectations. They gave us free donuts at the end of the night and we enjoyed watching them make milkshakes for other customers. For breakfast we had pancakes and the Grand Slam breakfast. Both were very good, waiter was helpful in substituting sides, as well as fast and attentive. Overall really enjoyed our experience and is a solid staple for the area!
This place is a 5 for diners, Guy Fieri is prolly gonna do a show here sooner or later if he hasn’t yet, great spot for the kids, the staff treats you like a locals ( it was our first time, my son wanted to try he saw them on IG) we drove 40 mins it was worth it, and we will be back. Great concept, super kid friendly, the doughnuts art OMFG yum!! Amongst other menu items.
If you’re looking for a cool spot with a very creative and fun menu… This is it! Everything we ate was absolutely amazing… The service was fast and efficient.. Even the bathrooms were spotless. This dinner is definitely worth the trip down here.
You know, when you see places blow up on social media you're a little skeptical. Normally the aesthetics are great but the food is eh. Not here though! The food was so instagram worthy & DELICIOUS! Plus the portions are hugeee. Everything my friends and I got, we loved. We came here on a Saturday night around 7pm and did not have to wait for a table. Service was kind of slow, but the restaurant was busy so it was expected. We got the double stack big mac quesadilla, buffalo chicken curly fries, and strawberry cheesecake french toast. My personal fav was the quesadilla and strawberry cheesecake french toast! They were both super delicious and filling. We went home with so many leftovers. Such a good deal for the price and how much food you get. They have all these outrageous foods, especially their dessert. A great place to bring your kids for a birthday party!
This is an absolute hidden gem in Stamford! Their menu has something for everyone and the offerings are delicious which makes it hard to decide what to eat! Upbeat atmosphere with great service and reasonable pricing. They were so good they actually gave us a plate of freshly made donuts for the table. A wonderful dining experience.
