Service was great. Food is low quality. 90 percent of the items are deep fried. The coconut rice was very strange, did not even taste like coconut. The rice quality was poor and overcooked. The bomba bowl was soggy and not fresh. The Portuguese Brazilian cheesy bread was deep fried. The sweet potatoes in the tacos were deep fried. How about roasting the vegetables and actually cooking the food with to maintain nutrients and enhance flavors. The skinny margarita seemed to have an overwhelming flavor of orange juice. I assumed lime was the key ingredient last time I checked. The good news is they offer Gluten free options with corn products. But likely everything is GMO and toxic food stuff.
Love the drinks and salads everything is so delicious. I have food allergies so I do wish they had more gluten and dairy free options so I could eat more things myself rather than gifting them to friends and family, but do appreciate the options they have to offer. Also, I would absolutely LOVE if they stayed open a bit later so I could get my afternoon caffeine from the buttery instead of somewhere like Starbucks. Like 3 or 4 PLEASE
Really good, had gluten free menu too. Amazing Philly cheesesteak nachos and amazing salads. Had big screens which were great for watching Penn State game. Outdoor seating was nice with TV so you can watch games outside too. Service was great for our party of 5 for lunch and our party of 9 for dinner.
I have to eat gluten free meals so sharing for anyone interested in GF meals. There are limited gluten free options for dinner - salads and a pork chop entree. The pork chop entree was tasty and the salads are very good. The servers were knowledgeable and shared the gluten free note with the kitchen. The service is very friendly and I like the decor and atmosphere. I enjoy eating here for lunch and dinner.
GF OPTIONS ALERT! 🚨
Avola did not disappoint! They have great outdoor seating, their food was delicious, and the atmosphere was quaint.
I got their gluten free carbonara and the wait staff was so helpful.
10/10 would eat here again.
I was told by a child that I had to give this place 5-stars because they have the “best gluten free pizza EVER”. Plus it comes with a separate little mini pizza-slicer, which is super cute.
I recently had a wonderful dinner at Joey Chops and the staff and kitchen were knowledgeable about gluten free preparation. They also had gluten free bread. I had filet mignon and broccolini. The server was knowledgeable about the items that could be made gluten free. The service was attentive and friendly. I enjoyed my dinner here very much.
