I went to the restaurant to order two egg-free breakfast meals—one with bacon and one with sausage—plus a tea and an orange juice. I was charged $18, but when I called back, they told me the total should be $15. I then spoke with Amber, who transferred me to another person, and they quoted me $17. Is there no consistent pricing for your breakfast? This will be my final visit.

I've tried several dishes, and I've enjoyed every single one. My favorite has to be the ribs; they are so tender they practically fall off the bone. The burgers are fantastic as well, and I really love the homemade fries. The service during lunch has always been excellent, and I've even had the opportunity to catch up with some old friends here. Great food and wonderful people!

I had my first dining experience at this restaurant today, and it was wonderful. The service was attentive, and the food was outstanding. I ordered the pork chops and mac and cheese, both of which were delicious. I also had a slice of the blueberry cake, and it was simply incredible! The staff was professional and very helpful during my visit. I'm looking forward to returning to sample more dishes. Overall, I would give the food a perfect 5/5 rating.
