Kelly KathrynJuly 27, 2013The ranch dressing was watery and disgusting. I got the Thanksgiving Dinner in July and my cranberry sauce was missing and had to ask for it twice. Service was decent at best.
JordanJuly 14, 2010blackened chicken sandwich is my favorite, french onion soup is pretty good as well
Richard ErringtonAugust 9, 2013Not coming back. They wanted to stick me in a dark corner. Just in case someone came by for the 4top in the light. F*ck em.
Grilled chicken sandwich or bbq chicken sandwich get my vote - huge portions
Jennifer BarrSeptember 19, 2013Service is apathetic and not well groomed. Told me to move out of his way when serving my salad
Joel BryanMarch 27, 2011Disappointed in the menu change, no veggie wrap, no salmon roll, no Greek Salad. There where some of the best items.
Alayna DuffelAugust 5, 2012Ordered the broccoli bites, and the inside of them were cold. The service was terrible. The waiter was terrible. Would not suggest.this place. Plus, the waiters looked unclean.
Luis VieiraOctober 29, 2015Service was poor. It took 20 minutes for the waiters bring silverware - with dinner already served.
Sajid MehmoodMarch 17, 2012Come here for an amazing selection of desserts, but look elsewhere for your actual dinner. Overpriced and mediocre food.
Kelly ReiserDecember 28, 2015Very dissapointing meal tonight. Tasteless and bland... What happened to Old Man's?
Michael VDecember 9, 2012Nasty servers... Nasty nasty nasty. Good thing the college community helps new people not realize how poor the service is!
