    Food is very good, but we ordered online. I have a gluten issue and I substituted gluten free toast and they gave me regular. Good thing I have ate there before and know what the GF toast looks like. We were already home so couldn’t go back

    Elisse was great. Greeted us with a smile and took our order. Food came out fast and delicious. Great experience!

    Whoever is back there cooking, why do you think it’s ok to serve a burnt pancake? The chocolate are charred. Clearly you don’t know how to make a chocolate chip pancake and I got it through DoorDash and now it a whole process to try to get my money back. I order this often and at the planet location and it was never an issue

    Food was excellent and staff awesome

  • June 18, 2026

    My first time dining here was okay, but my wife’s food had a musty smell and lacked sufficient steak. She didn’t even finish it and threw most of it away. My middle aged daughter didn’t even receive a refill for her drink. The server could have been more attentive she forgot about our takeout boxes.
