Great burger joint with some awesome frys and special sauce. Some other items worth the bite are the onion rings and also the grilled cheese for the kids. Price wise, you can’t beat this place. They have a josh special that is only $3.91 for a burger, frys, and drink. I like this place a lot and it’s debatable it’s the best in town amongst many locals.

My wife took me here years ago when we were dating to have their cheeseburgers. Years later, we return while in town to have either a cheeseburger again or just a refreshing ice cream. Staff is and always has been very accommodating and very friendly. Super fast service with a smile! Stop in!

Such a simple concept - load up on whatever you want, and pay by weight. Amazing! (Why do they not do this in the UK?!)
There were loads of delicious flavours available, and a whole world of toppings. I would have come here every day if my boyfriend had let me!
It's not the cheapest, but that might have been more to do with how much I put in my tub. Whoops :)

Okay, if you really like Lobster and shrimp, this is your place. Decor and service are good. Be prepared to wait. Take out is a good option here. I personally like Panera better.

7. Sora Sushi
Overall Ratings

Reviewed By tiredandtravelled - Portland, Oregon
Good chairs and a belt with traveling sushi. So much per plate starts at 1.75 and goes to 3.75. Our problem was we didn't know what much of the stuff was. Okay miso soup with extra nori. The special rolls were 14.00 but there again we did not know how big they were before hand. Good sushi huge pieces, especially the nigri. Ended up being expensive for only grabbing cheaper yellow and red plates. Nice parking.

So happy I tried this place- I will definitely be back! The Cuban sandwich was juicy and delicious. The Mac and cheese side was out of this world- and I will will admit to being a snob when it comes to good Mac and cheese! Very, very happy with my meal- looking forward to trying different things on their menu.... but it will be so hard not to order the exact thing I ordered tonight!

We stopped for a late breakfast on a road trip after reading favorable reviews. The place has a casual diner vibe and staff was friendly. We ordered some omelets biscuits and gravy and oatmeal. All were very good and the potato sides were especially delicious. Service was fast. Coffee was good. So glad we decided to stop here!

The food was over priced. The beans tasted like they were from a can and the salsa was sweet and chunky. I specifically asked if cheese came with the fajitas and he said yes then brought it out without the cheese or shells. Seriously, don't waste your money. This place was an overpriced bummer.
