Enjoyed a brunch break with my family of 6. I tried the Louisiana Quiche with a side of potatoes. The quiche was good as far as seasoning and flavor but the pastry part of the quiche was overcooked and therefore hard to eat with a fork. The hot chocolate was great! It’s my go-to hot drink. I give it and our service 5/5. Although it’s a 45-minute drive from Kannapolis, I’ll happily make it again; especially since I’m the passenger while my husband drives ;) The menu has so many options, I love trying different things! I don’t mind paying for good quality, feel-good food that’s prepped fresh. I’m always satisfied. If I find something that I don’t prefer, I just order something different next time. So many choices, including gluten-free and vegetarian.

Decent fast casual restaurant with healthy food unless you are salt conscious. Good choice of vegetarian and gluten free food. One big complaint: about half the dishes (saucy ones) were way too salty Advice: the kids meal portion is a bit small. My below average sized toddler finished it all and wanted more pasta.

Looking for a specialty burger and pub restaurant with indoor outdoor seating and great service in an exclusive area in Ballantyne? Boom. Recommend the signature items but you can build your own too! From pancake covered bacon to gluten free or meat optional items, get the Angus beef or Buffalo burgers for outstanding deliciousness. The banana pudding is Devine, the fried pickles are full slices with perfect breading and the sliders are yummilicious. Expect great service and to wait for a table since its always busy.

So this was my 2nd time visiting. My first time was great, but this 2nd time was..to put it nicely, less great. My partner & I decided to grab lunch here because I knew they had gluten free options which my partner needs. To start our server was frazzed and all over the place which seemed weird since we were 1 of 5 tables there. We expressed my partner’s gluten & dairy allergy & ordered the skewers with the greek yogurt on the side so that I could eat it. However the skewers came out without the yogurt to which I had to ask a different server who brought it out to being me some & for some reason my server charged me extra for it… My soup was barely warm and we just didn’t enjoy our time there, which is unfortunate since I had a good experience the first time. I hope this was just a fluke but I won’t know unless I go again.

I ordered grilled shrimp and rice. Being gluten free I am so glad they have a section I can choose from. The food was delicious and well cooked. Customer service was so pleasant and attentive. I work in that area so I will definitely be eating here again.

i went in with my boyfriend on sunday at about noon, our server (maria i believe) was handing the check out to an 8 top right next to us, asked what we would like to drink, too which we said we still needed a minute. the 8 top left roughly 5 minutes later, and our server was no where to be found. him and i probably sat for another 15 minutes before she came and asked for our order. i ordered an ice coffee, asking for creamer to come alongside. when she finally came back with out drinks she forgot my creamer, not a big deal, i’m a server myself and have done the damn job i get it. she disappeared, speaking to her 4 top. we waited another 15 minutes and she didn’t show up so i sent my boyfriend to ask someone for creamer. once we got our food, she didn’t show back up. i was given the wrong sausage, my boyfriend is celiac and had concerns regarding cross contamination. the two tables next to us, who had another server, were sat after us and already gathering their checks by the time we even got our food. her 4 tops food came out right after ours. she was dedicating her total attention to a 4 top instead of her other tables. once me and boyfriend finished we waited another 15/20 minutes for our check. i needed a to-go box. she never checked in to make sure we were doing alright. she was sat another 4 top, put their order in and disappeared for another 10 minutes. finally she drops the check off, before even asking if we were completed or if the check was together it separate. she scurried off before i could even ask for a box. i got up to ask for a box, another server was the girl who grabbed it for me. once my man went to pay for the check, we had to wait for someone to come to the front. overall i have never had such awful service anywhere. i understand being weeded and i understand kitchen issues, but the only tables that were stuck waiting were hers. overall just disappointed. the oreo waffle was really yummy though.
