Customer Reviews

Easy 5 *s. Food (I got a bacon cheeseburger and my daughter got the mostaccioli) - excellent. Service was AMAZING. Not overbearing but had IMPECCABLE timing when it came to drinks and silverware. Extremely nice and polite as well. Appetizer was out with plenty of time to enjoy before the entrees were brought out. Great family dining atmosphere. I will be bringing my family back every time we're in or near Pontiac.

Good food. A minor slip-up that was resolved autonomously by waitress. I was part of a large group sitting with individual tickets. All others were served and eating without my order delivered. Waitress discovered the situation before I could enlighten her myself. My order came within a few minutes after that.

*The Busser Girl Was the best* *Our Server was terrible* *the food was ok* We asked the Server to please make sure that the biscuits and gravey were really hot and the Server didn't obviously care and was MIA where the sweet busser girl was very attentive and made sure we had refills on our drinks and also was kind enough to microwave all our food so it was be hot and not have cold spots in it. We would not ever return to this location due to the Server not paying attention to detail and caring about the customers satisfaction. The only reason for the five stars is 100% because of the sweet busses girl who was kind enough to care.

Stopped in for breakfast on our way home and to Chicago. The food did not disappoint. The Denver omelette was delicious. Hash browns were crispy and tasty.
