    Had to try this place after reading all the reviews...I would definately say the food, the atmosphere and our waitress Jennifer were exceptionally the best. I plan on becoming a frequent visitor..

    Chicken Dumpling soup is the best! If you are coming around 10 PM wait until after 10 because the 2nd shift servers ignore you until the 3rd shift comes in which is ok because Linda is the best!!

    The holiday decorations (not just for Christmas) are always fun. I like to eat here several times a year to see what to see how it looks.

    The chicken dumpling soup is worth a stop. But the staff was not, very towny they ignored me most the time and talked amongst the regulars the entire time. I felt like the junior high outcast.

    Their Alfredo sauce is heavier than most, but if you get some dishes without (especially the chicken kick) they're infinitely better.

    Sarah was horrible and I can tell you for our 1st time experience, it was not good. I think her kids or someone she knew really well was at the table next to us so she basically camped out there.

    There are two waitresses you do not want. One's bame is Danielle (lunch time) and the other is Briana (dinner/late shift). Worst two waitresses I have ever had.

    It's starting to go down hill here. It took 7 min to get a server. 20 more after that for a soda. And it's been 40 minutes since we ordered our food. Still waiting.
