Food was great. Service friendly and really fast. Nice fountain choices of tea and lemonades.. Parking lot needs repairs. Giant potholes at the entrance and along the drive.
The food was great (I got the margarita Flatbread pizza) and I have also tried other dishes in other locations and they are all good tasty and light perfect to stop by and grab a bite if you are biking or walking although their food is likely not the healthiest thing ever
This is a great spot for socializing. Many people host Bible studies at the Waterloo location, and they value the thoughtfulness shown during busy hours. When it's not peak time, the atmosphere is laid-back, and the food is straightforward yet delicious. The bakery items can be quite tempting if you're trying to stick to a diet. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed!
I visited the restaurant yesterday with my friend to celebrate our one-year anniversary dinner, and it was a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, always greeting us with a warm smile. Despite being extremely busy, the team was efficient and attended to everyone in a timely manner. The food arrived quickly and was delicious. I will definitely be returning!
