The food, service, and staff were amazing. I will say, I don't think this is an IHOP issue but the amount of trash in the parking lot/s and pretty much everywhere is awful!
Love going to IHOP b/c of the gluten free options. A lot of choices!!
This is a large, brand-new Chick-fil-A. I waited awhile to go so the crowd would die down a little, but it is still busy. The wait is not as long as you’d think. They are super efficient. Several people are outside taking your orders. The server taking my order had me keep moving with the line, but followed me as I moved up until my order was completed and paid for. I was able to drive up and more servers were waiting at the pick up area. They have spaces for you to stop in while waiting, but my food came pretty quickly. I love that they have gluten-free buns and grilled chicken. The southwest salad was excellent and I love their kale salad. It’s a five star fast food place.
I always love Taco Bell. You can order cheaply if you want. You can change most things to be chicken. You can find food if you are vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free. And it’s generally pretty fast. Also, you can change out sauces, like getting creamy jalapeño sauce instead of nacho. Also their hot sauce packets come in different heats, my favorite is fire. And the hot sauce “talks” to you - the little phrases still tickle me. And they have fries!!
Local Grounds is a coffee shop you go to for the atmosphere. Their desserts and pastries are wonderful, and I love that they even have gluten free options (albeit limited ones). They have a wonderful, helpful staff that seem to always be cheerful. As a coffee fanatic, Local Grounds coffee is not the best, but it is the best coffee in town. Not to mention their varieties of syrups and sauces competes with giant corporations’. Regardless, I would go to Local Grounds over and over again. A wonderful, beautiful place and the owner is doing so much for our small town!
I had a delightful lunch experience at Gus's Grill in Lagrange with my daughter. Our waiter, Joey, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about gluten allergies, which was greatly appreciated. The GF options he discussed were reassuring. The portion sizes were impressive – I ordered a scoop of tuna and the Greek salad, both of which were delicious. My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her country salad with fried chicken tenders, and the generous portion meant she had leftovers to take home. Overall, a satisfying meal with excellent service!
