5 Stars for Rosie’s Café – A Hidden Gem Worth the Detour! While driving home from Rochester, Minnesota to West Michigan, we were on the hunt for a great local breakfast spot — something with character, not just another national chain. That’s when we found Rosie’s Café, and let me tell you, it was worth every mile of the detour. Located just outside of town in a quiet neighborhood, Rosie’s is small, charming, and absolutely packed — a sure sign that locals know what’s up. We actually missed our exit and had to backtrack through town about five miles, but it gave us a chance to see the area and build anticipation. When we arrived, the place was buzzing. It's not a huge space, so there isn’t much room to wait inside, and the communication on whether to seat ourselves or wait could have been clearer. That said, the staff was friendly and handled the crowd like pros. We were seated within 10–15 minutes, which flew by. Once seated, we were greeted quickly and warmly. The menu had tons of great options — everything from classic breakfasts to local favorites. We had a few questions and custom requests, and our server was super accommodating. Despite how busy it was, the service was attentive and upbeat. The food? Hot, hearty, and absolutely delicious. Generous portions, great presentation, and flavors that made it clear everything was made with care. We left full and happy, no question about that. One highlight? Their homemade cinnamon rolls with house-made icing — you can take a half dozen to go for under $17. Of course, I grabbed six… and asked for one extra with icing on top for the road. No regrets. Rosie’s Café is a small-town treasure with big flavor and genuine hospitality. If you’re ever passing through this stretch of Wisconsin, make the stop — it’s worth it. Thanks, Rosie’s! We’ll definitely be back.

The food at The Café was absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. Every dish we tried was excellent, and I would definitely come back again for the food alone. The service, however, felt a little rigid. Our waitress was polite and professional, but she stuck strictly to the basics and wasn’t very engaging. I felt like she could have been more attentive and helpful in guiding us through the menu or checking in. Overall, a great place to eat, but the service could be warmer to match the quality of the food.

Worst experience this past weekend. We have been customers of this place for over 20 years and have never had an experience like this weekend. We ordered 2 cheese omelets, one with ham and one with bacon, and an additional side of hollandaise. This was a pick up order to go and at pickup, the employee told my partner that one omelet was missing the bacon and asked if he was fine to take just a cheese omelet....he said that would be fine. When we got home, neither omelet had meat in it and when I called to see about a fix for this, the employee was rude and extremely argumentative with me? ("well, I told that guy that we would make a new one and he said no, so what do you want me to do about it?"). Our bill was $36 and no one could explain to me how our bill was this much. One staff even did the math...$11 per cheese omelet, $4 something for hollandaise and $0.75 for the to-go boxes (that's only $27.50, so how did my bill add up to $36??). I assume we were charged for the additional meat that we did not get, and staff was obviously aware of this! The price that we were charges for an incorrect meal is insane! When I reached out via FB, the manager/owner/FB page manager let me know that I would need to provide proof that our meals were missing the meat in order to fix the issue 😂. We will never return to this restaurant. What a sham and a shame.

Lindy's Subs & Salads - La Crosse is a relaxed and spacious counter serve restaurant that offers a variety of hearty subs, salads, and soup. The menu boasts great subs with numerous combinations to choose from. While the cheese options are generally satisfactory, it is advised to avoid ordering the American cheese as it is processed and doesn't taste good. The meat quality is decent and the vegetables are usually fresh.
I ordered the working class hero, regular size on French bread. Added mayo and Dijon, lettuce, tomato salt, pepper, and sprouts . The sandwich is big enough to eat twice. You can’t beat a quality handmade Sammy for this price. Shop was clean and well kept. The service was kind, friendly, and quick.
ERIC H — Google review
We had business in La Crosse over 2 days time and this restaurant was closeby. Being from Chicago, we are used to great sub places. The sandwich ingredients were very fresh, there just wasn't a lot of anything. I think on 2 regular turkey subs, there were 4 slices of cheese, and maybe 3 slices of meat- 4 at the most, very thin. The bread looked great, but had the soft, yukky texture of a hamburger bun, rather than the crisp, flaky texture we are used to in Chicago. Three sandwiches cost us just over $30. We were all hungry about 2 1/2 hours later. Nice clean restaurant. Friendly staff.

I ordered Lindys online and accidentally selected pickup instead of delivery. Once I realized this I called them and they were able to deliver our sandwiches quickly. Our order was accurate and the sandwiches were great! I was impressed by how quickly everything was made and delivered!

Did not like the way I was treated whatsoever. I used to be a loyal customer but not anymore. In my opinion When a sign says close, that’s when the store should close not beforehand. I got there at 2:40 and they treated me as if I was a burden because I came so late or so close to closing time. I really liked Lindy’s, but thankfully, there were other sub shops.

We just moved here from Texas in the beginning of the month and I’m glad I’ve already found my favorite sub shop! They’re sandwiches are totally different from the subs I’ve had back home and from the east coast but still really good! If you haven’t had their potato salad you are missing out!!!

Polito's Pizza is a local chain renowned for its delicious pizza offerings, including both individual slices and large specialty pies. One of the advantages of dining at this establishment is the mouthwatering taste of their pizzas, which has received high praise from customers. A fresh pizza ordered for a family was particularly impressive and came at an affordable price of $34 for four people, beverages included.
Freaking excellent pizza. Garlic knots were fresh and delicious as well. Friendly service! Quesadilla pizza was just bomb. 💣 🍕 I would have gotten a 2nd slice if I wasn’t stuffed. Fantastic price — got combo 3 for much is 2 pizza slices, garlic knots, and 2 drinks for $16. Very reasonable. Bathroom also very spacious and clean! Always a plus in my book.

Pretty tasty pizza, the 20” is gigantic! Went there today for a pick up, lots of pizzas already made for customers to buy by the slice. I would like the crust a bit more crispy so next time I’ll ask for it to be cooked a little longer. The guys working there were very friendly and personable! Would recommend!

Very reasonable price.

Decided to try this place out and got 3 pizza slices. 2 cheese and 1 macaroni & cheese. Wasn’t the biggest fan of how they had the pizzas out in open with no covering or warm lighting. She got the slices then heated them back up briefly in the oven. The cheese slices were decent, but wasn’t big fan of Mac pizza. The pizza was also really greasy which was not pleasant.. overall decent place to try but I’d order the pizzas fresh and not by slice unless they just came out oven.

Usually I knock a star for cleanliness in the store. If I'm giving it a 5-star rating, that saying something. The menu is what you'd expect with food prepared fast ala street cart. Everything is great on the menu. My go-tos are Trotas, Tacos, or a Quesadilla. Burritos are offered. I think your stomach space is better spent on other offerings. The Tortas are amazing. When you watch them make your food, you'd think that the bread is light and airy. But when you pick it up, there is some serious heft and body to the bread. Highly recommended, most likely the best place to get a Torta. The tacos are amazing as well. Protein, cilantro, and onions laid on top of a flour tortilla. You're going to do a double take when you see the price of the taco. However, the quality of food and amount you get is worth it. The protein selections are great. Favorite protein choices are chorizo and steak. There are other options available, even meatless. Try the sauces when you eat here. The fire sauce is just amazing. The green sauce is a great compliment. Which every one you pick, you will be happy. Fair warning, the fire sauce BUILDS on the heat factor. It's so good, you can't stop eating. Service is fast. Food is even better. Prices are great. La Crosse/Onalaska area has a ton of Mexican style restaurants, Burritos House is probably in the top 2 for one of the best in the area.

Onion rings were very good and the ice cream was the best part! Food rating averages out to around 3.5-4 stars out of 5. The service was quick and friendly.

Food was average. It is a fair price but nothing to brag about. There needs to be a sign that says cash only.

Rudy’s Drive-In is a La Crosse classic that delivers more than just burgers—it serves up nostalgia, community, and comfort with every tray. From the moment you pull into the lot, you’re part of something timeless. The carhop service, complete with roller-skating staff, brings a joyful energy that’s hard to find anywhere else. It’s not just a gimmick—it’s a tradition that’s been kept alive with heart. The menu hits all the right notes: crispy chicken tenders, juicy Super Burgers, and cheese curds that are perfectly golden. The root beer float is a must—cold, creamy, and served with a smile. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and the food consistently hits the spot.

This was a disappointment to sat the least. We travel all over the country and like the idea of drive in. We know what to expect at a drive in. The management here needs to take a break and review the manner in which the food is served, and the customers are addressed. Eliminate the word NO from the service staff. NO additional tray. Only one tray per vehicle. Where are the rest of the vehicle passengers supposed to hold their drink, their burger, their fires, their onion rings? Provide an additional tray so we do not have to hold everything or depend on the driver to hand everything back and forth to the rest of the passengers and then take it back to place it on the ONLY tray we were allowed to have. After all, the place was anything but full. I am sure there was another tray inside that would have solved the issue. But, NO apparently was the word of the day. NO credit cards. Make it easily noticeable for those of us not carrying cash, which is the vast majority of todays population. Charge me the unfair percentage if you must but eliminate the cash transaction, and make it clear as we drive up. We would have paid for refills and would have purchased 2 desserts. NO free refills. This has become the norm and the exceptions to the rule stick out like a sore thumb. Yes, there is a cost associated with this but we are already charged an exuberant for the small portion of the burger, fries and onions, and the drinks arrive in very think glassware that may look like a good quantity but it is not. We ended up having to leave the car and get cash fm an ATM. NO credit cards. Once the food was delivered, we ended up leaving our car and eating at a table. NO extra tray. We left disappointed with the experience.

We planned to head to the Dells on Saturday on a nice sunny warm day. Needed gas and when we stopped we saw a pizza place in La Crosse and looked up reviews. The reviews were good so we went to eat at Pizza King La Crosse. Prices were good and ingredients were fresh. Staff were super nice. Highly recommended

Great gyros!!! I definitely recommend if you enjoy traditional gyros. Very impressed with the chef salad. Reasonable prices. Portions are generous, I enjoyed having leftovers. Not impressed with the delivery, but that has nothing to do with Pizza King. Pizza King is great. Door dash deliverd and left my order outside while raining. My very nice neighbor saw this and brought my food in. She should get the tip that went to door dash. Also that was the action of one door dash worker, not all delivery people are like that.

Ordered takeout from the counter. 2 pizzas, a sandwich, and gyro. Took about 20 minutes so wait time no issue considering they were fairly busy. The staff was friendly and the food was very good. Definitely stop in if you are in the area.

It's been a while so I went back to try new foods. I got the gyros and chicken/bacon wrap. Gyros was very small and didn't have much in it. It did taste good, but very limited on what it has. The chicken/bacon wrap was pretty good and moist. Average size wrap. Not too big, but not too small. The chicken wings were amazing as always. Big sized wings and it's my favorite.

Better than Pizza Hut or Domino's for sure! We tried the double bacon cheeseburger and the BBQ chicken. Both were really good. Would definitely eat there again! Most people carry out but we did sit at one of the tables in the small dining area. Very clean. Staff were super friendly.

Food & Service is Always Great Guys! But... It's time for a refresh. Start with that carpet in the dining area & work your way up.

Went there for lunch and ordered the corned beef hash skillet with over easy eggs. It arrived with one of the eggs cooked over easy and one over hard. Corned beef hash looked like it would be crispy but it was actually pasty like they added water to it or something. Maybe they popped it in the microwave before bringing it to me. Toast on the side was soggy. Customers were mostly elderly. These folks deserve better tasting food than what was served. Won't be back.

Food and service were great. Hadn't been here in awhile. Had an issue with the bill and our coupon. The hostess argued with my Fiance about how to handle the tax on the bill with the coupon. She kept saying that is how the owner taught me and would not listen. Doubt we'll be back unfortunately.

Burger King, a popular fast-food establishment renowned for its grilled burgers, fries, and shakes, has been criticized for its lackluster customer service. Many customers have complained about the indifferent attitude displayed by the drive-through workers. They often feel like unwelcome intruders when visiting this particular location. Moreover, dissatisfaction arises from consistently receiving cold food items such as fries and onion rings. Consequently, it is suggested that new staff members be hired and provided with thorough training to address these issues.
My husband and I came in after a long day of working to be greeted with the most respect we have ever seen in the service industry. Drew helped us and his manors were impeccable. We both kept looking at each other in awe over how respectful he was. We appreciate you drew. You deserve a raise.

I normally make Mobile orders before I get to a drive thru restaurant because I don’t wanna sit and wait. Once I pulled up to the drive thru they told me to give them a minute but had me waiting 7min before they did take my order which it was just a simple mobile order. Once I got pass the drive box I was sitting and waiting in line behind 2 cars for 15 minutes. Wasn’t considered fast enough for me. Even tho it’s supposed to be fast food!.

Burger King delivers a reliably satisfying fast-food experience. The flame-grilled Whopper remains a classic, boasting a smoky flavor that sets it apart. The customizable options allow for personal preferences, from extra cheese to no onions. Their fries are consistently hot and crispy, a testament to efficient cooking. Beyond the core menu, Burger King innovates with limited-time offers, adding excitement for frequent visitors. The app provides convenient ordering and often features exclusive deals, enhancing value. Service is generally quick, especially at drive-thrus, making it a practical choice for on-the-go meals. While not gourmet, Burger King excels at providing a familiar and comforting fast-food fix. The consistency in taste and service, coupled with occasional menu surprises, ensures a positive experience for those seeking a quick, tasty, and affordable meal. Their commitment to flame grilling and accessible prices solidifies their place in the fast-food landscape.

Ordered Burger King off door dash and it defaults to this one based off location and every time something is missing.

We go at 8:20 to pick up the food and the place closed, there’s one dude inside not coming to the window and not answering the phone… why did they confirm our order and then just close and make it so we drive there for nothing?

Stopped in to get 2 five piece chicken dark extra crispy. What i got home to was 2 five piece dark original with the skin of the chicken wet and falling off. I called up to kfc and told them what was going on. The man on the phone said he was the manger I hope not with how rude he is to customers that's paying their money for some half done chicken. After listening to him call me a lie I refused to deal with it I let him know I was calling the corporate office and I did. I WILL NOT BE RETURNING TO SPEND ANY MONEY AT THAT KFC.

The cozy, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere is adorned with local high school memorabilia, adding to its charm.
Pretty decent pizza overall. We had their 16" Taco and a 16" pepperoni. Edge of the crust were nice and crispy, but center squares were a bit difficult to handle. Squares were cut small and toppings just kind of toppled off. Good flavor, just a little extra messy trying to eat.

Well, we have had every pizza orders nightmare. We gave TJs pizza three weeks to refund us and still have not seen anything. FINGERNAIL IN THE PIZZA! A whole fake nail with flowers on it. I have a text from them admitting it was the person that cut our pizza. GROSS... WE WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM AGAIN. It's a shame. I was Terry's old neighbor in Onalaska before he passed. He would be so modified. If I could post a picture I would. Again, we never even recieved our money back. Yet they acknowledged the nasty fingernail.

The broasted chicken is fantastic. I don't know what spices they used but it was absolutely delicious. Where we live there isn't anyplace that has broasted chicken - let alone chicken that tastes this good - and cooked properly. We'll have to try their pizza next time.

Truly the last of the great "LaCrosse Style" pizzas. Read that as thin crispy crust, excellent toppings (that sausage!) and lots of well blended cheese. It's the pizza I compare all others to. Ha!

A lot of bad reviews on this location, but I can disagree with most of them. I've never been to the location, but order delivery quite often from them. Delivery people are amazing with a good sense of humor and always are incredibly quick in delivering. I'm really enjoying the roastbeef subs, and crispy chicken wraps. They make me feel valued as a customer, and will continue to regularly order from them, as the food is great for the price at cheap delivery costs.

I placed an online order with a confirmation email at 7:54. Hadn't gotten the food after 45 minutes so I called at 8:40 and was told the driver left 5 minutes ago with our order and we were first on the route to drop off (I live about 10 minutes max from the store with good traffic). It's now 5 after 9 and I still haven't gotten my $35+ in sandwiches, drinks, and chips. Super unhappy and honestly really ridiculous that it's been over an hour and I still haven't gotten my food. Checked outside the apartment doors thinking maybe it was left but nothing. Update: I just called again at 10 after 9 and was told that the driver left over 30 minutes ago and that I'm probably the last to get my food dropped off now since he's still not here....

Consistently disappointing. I live close and often will order JJ on a day off, but it has become and ongoing game to see how badly they mess up the order every time. Want your sandwich cut in half? Want the bread removed? Too bad, Jimmy John's does not care: despite it being a part of the online ordering process, this location ignores it every time. Every. Time. "Subs so fast you'll freak" certainly does not apply to this location. Currently at 45 min wait for our two sandwiches (5 min away) and I'm just hoping they show up with my chips this time. I never expect them to cut it in half anymore, I just ask for it to see if they still fail simple requests. Atmosphere is rough. The music was absurdly loud inside, and the staff was very distant. I had to wave to get their attention to ask for napkins (none set up, none offered) and had to literally SHOUT for it when they finally came over. Honestly, just go somewhere else and let this place die.

Showed up just before 7 pm on a Sunday night for dinner. We wanted a quick bite. However, that is far from what happened. There were only 4 or 5 people in line ahead of us, so we figured we would be served soon. We saw the main worker in front, and they were taking care of customer in line and all the online orders. It quickly became apparent that the online orders were more important than the customers waiting in line. We waited over 30 minutes to start our order. The worker stated that they were a person short but never apologized for the weight, and he wasn't even working with intent. We finally saw another worker come from the back, and she took more dishes in the back to wash. Food tasted good but was lacking the meat we ordered, seemed skimpy. There were plenty of other issues that happened this was by far the worst fast food experience I have had. We should have gone to a sit-down restaurant, we would have gotten faster service. Plenty of other people walked out, but we thought since we waited 20 minutes and were next in line, we were in it for the long haul.

One sitting at a table playing on his phone, drinking soda and loudly belching and two more in the back arguing. There was food and garbage over pouring out of the garbage cans all over the floor and the counter. This place was absolutely disgusting. We don’t plan on coming back anytime soon unfortunately.

Culver’s is a popular fast-food chain known for its frozen custard and signature Midwest beef burgers. With locations in Onalaska and La Crosse, it's a great spot for family dining. The old-fashioned Butterburgers and special formula frozen custard are crowd favorites. Customers appreciate the high standards of food quality, with hot, freshly made dishes that live up to their advertising. The restaurant also stands out for its family-friendly atmosphere despite being fast food.
On Good Friday, our lively family of 11 descended on Culver’s on Mormon Coulee Road with high hopes and hearty appetites. We placed a hefty online order through the Culver’s app, requesting everything be ready by 7:00 PM. Our order was no small feat: 2 classic cheeseburgers, 6 golden cod dinners, 1 crispy chicken sandwich, 2 family-size servings of those iconic Wisconsin cheese curds, and a colorful array of sides and sauces to keep everyone happy. From the moment we arrived, this Culver’s team delivered a masterclass in hospitality. The entire order was ready right on time, every item meticulously prepared and piping hot. The cod was perfectly flaky, the cheeseburgers juicy, and those cheese curds? Squeaky, melty perfection. Every side and sauce was accounted for, ensuring our large crew had everything we needed for a fantastic meal. What truly set this experience apart was the exceptional service, led by the remarkable General Manager, Matt. His warmth and dedication shone through as he personally ensured our order was flawless and that every one of us left with a smile. The entire team radiated kindness and professionalism, turning a busy holiday evening into a seamless, joyful dining experience. This Culver’s didn’t just serve us food—they created a memory our family will cherish. For their outstanding food, impeccable service, and genuine care, this location deserves every accolade. We’ll be back, and we can’t thank Matt and his team enough for making our Good Friday gathering so special!

Culver's consistently delivers a delightful dining experience. From the moment you step inside, the warm, friendly atmosphere is palpable. The staff are genuinely welcoming, and their enthusiasm shines through in their service. The food itself is a testament to quality ingredients and careful preparation. The ButterBurger, with its perfectly toasted bun and flavorful beef, is a classic for a reason. The crispy, golden fries are always a treat, and the frozen custard? Pure indulgence. Whether you opt for a classic flavor or one of their creative seasonal offerings, it's the perfect ending to any meal. What truly sets Culver's apart is their attention to detail. The restaurant is always clean and well-maintained, and the food is consistently excellent. It's a reliable spot for a quick, satisfying meal, or a relaxed family outing. Culver's manages to combine the convenience of fast food with the quality and care of a sit-down restaurant, making it a truly enjoyable experience.

I routinely have bad experiences at this Culvers, but go anyway because a good friend knows the owner and until recently I didn't have the below problems. Now I have to relay my negative reviews and go over manager's heads because they simply refuse to be respectful, get orders right (I swear, they are deliberately getting them wrong, like no top bun on a chicken sandwich, mayo that looks like spit when I clearly said no mayo, either smothering the burger with not-fresh veggies or making them so poorly even a double burger looks like it's going to lean and fall over.) Burgers with cheese not melted. Burgers with mustard when I didn't ask for condiments. Onion when I say no onion. Not spicy when I ask for spicy. Spicy when my friend asks for non-spicy. The ineptitude is far beyond a normal bound at this particular location. The biggest disappointment is the custard. Wow people. If someone asks for vanilla custard in their shake, you arrange that. If someone says hey I am really trying to find a balance, you arrange that. You do not reward DAILY repeat business to polite customers with a bunch of melted foam and whipped cream with no custard, and the other for someone else, pulverized with chocolate mix when the request has been "make a slightly thicker chocolate shake with more vanilla by adding vanilla custard, willing to pay extra" a common when Roman is working. Tempting to just throw it in his face, because it would splash -everywhere- (due to being melted foam upon delivery, and not thick as requested), after asking for a thicker shake. Not a huge request for a regular. It splipped. Should have made it thick, not soup. Use brain. Add less chocolate stuff (a lot less unless you want to wear it), spike the shake mix with vanilla custard, blend. Magic, rocket science. Honorary Doctorate for working a blender. Further complaints will just go directly to the owner. Further profits will go directly to another business owner. Terrible customer service... I've frequented all three of the major culvers in the area and this is the worst by far, purely by staff. The thousands they owe me in screwed up orders, I cannot count. Now the owner gets to hear about it and my review will stand so long as the bad service does. Don't go here unless you want to take a "very bad risk." Oh, they forgot the dogs pup-cup again, too. I often order burgers with just cheese for my pup who isn't long for life... and believe it or not, they **** that up too. Good lord I genuinely hate Karen's, but, the people who work here need restructuring BAD. The restaurant is clean, but the people who work in it are not...ever see that movie Waiting? You've been warned. You can plan on waiting around thinking about it because they take forever every time at this one. Check your bags BEFORE YOU DRIVE AWAY. ^Most honest input you'll ever get or read. Hilarious, disappointing, disgusting and true. If they chose to employ people who cared a tiny bit about work ethic I am sure the food here would be just as delicious as any other culvers. Until then!

Taco John's is a delightful fast-food chain that specializes in Mexican-inspired cuisine, offering an array of tasty options like tacos, burritos, nachos, and even breakfast items. My recent visit was nothing short of fantastic! Although I initially encountered a locked door, the friendly staff invited me to order through the drive-thru. They were incredibly welcoming and understanding about their closing policies. The food was freshly prepared and bursting with flavor—definitely a step up from other fast-food experiences I've had.
This Taco John's location was clean and well kept. The staff that greeted us was friendly and welcoming. The facility looked good. Our food was ready fast and was delicious. What a difference from the last few Taco Bells we've been to.

Hardee's is a quick-service eatery known for its crispy poultry, hefty sandwiches, and freshly prepared morning biscuits. While some customers may find the prices to be on the higher side, they occasionally offer generous portions like replacing regular orders with two substantial servings of roast beef.
I really enjoyed my experience here. The restaurant seems modern and up-to-date. Very clean from what I could see. I ordered the Mushroom and Swiss double combo with medium curly fries, and everything was made hot and fresh! 'Staff seemed very friendly and happy to be there. Angela, the cashier who took my order, was very knowledgeable about the menu as she gave me some recommendations and made my experience the best.

Excellent food, excellent service as has come to be the norm here the past couple years. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK! PS: "Extra crispy bacon" means 20-30 sec in a microwave tho. This time, nothing was done to it at all. 😣 Biting into an otherwise perfect frisco burger and having a greasy, ½ cooked slice of bacon all but ruins the sandwich! js

I went there a few weeks ago and had a great experience. We had Frisco burgers and they were legit on point. We won a couple days ago, and it was a very different experiments. Unhappy face, the fries were ridiculously salty usually we ask for no salt fries so I guess that's my bad, fries were fresh so they would've been good! The burgers (lil double)were alright but nothing special. It's a budget meal at $7. Also what's up with the diet Dr pepper. Last Saturday the day of this past order the pop didn't really taste right.

Delicious thin crust. The ownership may have changed but the quality hasn’t. I went with a large pepperoni and sausage. The sausage is made in-house.

Great pizza and a cozy place to eat-in. While we were there, a woman came in specifically to pay a $5 tip because she'd forgotten to tip the driver earlier in the evening. That shows that the business has great customer loyalty! However, the swearing and physical altercation between the two gentleman was sad and disheartening.

Dunkin' is a popular chain known for its famous breakfast offerings and a wide selection of coffee beverages. Recently, an elderly patron visited the establishment, expressing her desire for a grilled cheese sandwich as her birthday treat. In an act of kindness that truly went above and beyond, one of the employees generously contributed $2 out of her own pocket to make this wish come true. While the service was pleasant overall, there was a minor issue with the coffee lids being unappealing upon delivery.
Shoutout to the wonderful lady who makes my coffee every morning! She’s usually the first smile I see each day and she always brightens my very early 5am mornings. She’s so friendly, and she makes my coffee absolutely perfect every time. Thank you for starting my day off right!

You know, this has gotta be the worst Dunkin Donuts I've ever been to. They always have an attitude when you go there to order very bad customer service. If you don't like your job, don't work there. You don't need to get attitude with a customer just because you're short-staffed and then telling people before you even order that you're gonna have to wait. You have to wait at every restaurant you go to order at. This is not the first time this has happened either. This happens all the time at this Dunkin' Donuts. You can't even go to your local Dunkin' Donuts to enjoy a coffee without getting a attitude from Dunkin' Donuts, workers.

The kids and I went to this location after our haircuts next door and we waited at the counter for 20 minutes and not one of the employees working even acknowledged us, they were more focused on the window, than the counter. I had 3-4 employees walk straight by us and out the door with orders but didn’t even look at us, did not even say “hey, sorry we’re backed up, short staffed, etc” nothing. I gave up and went elsewhere. The owners of this location or the managers need to do better, be better.

As unfortunate as this is to make this review it’s well overdue. I love Dunkin, but every single time my family orders from here it’s an awful experience. I always place mobile orders for our convenience and Dunkin’s… but every single time we are asked to pull forward and wait. After pulling forward, 5 cars passed in the drive thru getting their orders while we were still waiting for our mobile order. Just 3 drinks, no food. We walked inside to grab our order due to no one coming out even after the drive thru was cleared. Our drinks were clearly made awhile ago due to the condensation sitting on the cups. So while all of this is always an ongoing issue, so is the inconsistency of our drinks!! My latte tastes like garbage today. It’s literally a brown latte and the other latte we ordered is white. Why is there so much of a difference? Mine looks like an iced coffee with a “splash” of milk. Not what I ordered. Due to these kind of experiences, we no longer want to continue to come to Dunkin. Just a waste of time and money at this specific location. You’re better off going elsewhere for your coffee.

I have never written a review before but I feel the need to as it’s been an ongoing thing. This is the closest coffee shop to my house and I’d rather go across town than engage with the most rude and condescending staff here. Every time I order something, I don’t make up my own drinks by the way I just go off the menu, the man that works there consistently either cuts me off or rudely corrects me, and just acts like I’m doing the biggest inconvenience by simply ordering??. The people that work the window sometimes are pleasant, or just open the window and don’t talk to me, and then gives me my food and I’m not sure if I should just drive away. I’m not saying yall have to tap dance and use confetti poppers I’m just saying some basic customer service would be nice. Makes me sad because I love dunkin but probably my last trip for a hot minute.

Unless you want to wait 20 minutes for the mobile order you place before leaving your house, then I would avoid this location. I have given this location several chances to improve over the years and they have not. The customer service and attitude of some of the workers is beyond unacceptable. I understand we all have rough days sometimes, but this is habitual when I have come to this location. Today was my last straw and I actually left before my order could be walked out. I had made my online mobile order at 8:04am, gave them about 10 mins before I left my house. Then sat in line for another 10 mins, just for them to have me pull to a different parking spot to wait for my food. That is not the point of a mobile order. By the time I decided to leave this whole fiasco from the time I placed my mobile order was reaching 25 mins. If you want a better experience, just hit the McDonald's down the road. I parked in their lot, made my mobile order, had it within two minutes. If you want coffee, we have way better local restaurants with drive thrus as well as bakeries with exceptional donuts and other pastries. I like to go here now and then for convenience but this has solidified that it'll be my last resort.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Placed an order through Doordash and went to go pick it up right away as Taco Bell is a 2 minute drive from my house. Boyfriend grabbed the order and bag felt light, so we checked it in the car. Not only was it the wrong order, but everything was cold like it had been sitting there for a while. Food shouldn't have been cold as we just placed the order 10 minutes before. Boyfriend goes back inside to ask them if they can remake it and they tell us no, that they don’t have everything to be able to remake the order. On top of receiving the order and it also being cold and not the right order, we ordered some soda - one zero sugar, and one regular - and they marked diet on the wrong soda. I have diet detector testing strips to be able to test soda to make sure it’s actually diet, so this is how I know for sure that it was marked wrong. Very disappointed with Taco Bell. There is always some issue with our order when we order from this store, but it’s never been something like this. Glad we ordered through DoorDash because we wouldn’t have gotten our money back otherwise. I don’t know why service at this store is so hit or miss, and most of the time terrible. I love Taco Bell, but not the employees at this store.

I had an annoying debate with the worker about how my sandwich was made. I wanted a foot long flatbread but they started making my sandwich the short way, giving me a 6 inch flatbread. They argued with me how that was the way they were meant to make them. They snapped a bit and then shifted the food to be an actual foot long sandwich. Is this the way its suppose to be? Is this how they make foot longs with regular bread too? not making it along the bread hinge but fold it the wrong way? I will not be coming back. i eat here out of convenience but no more. I cant come in during the day, the day time workers seem confused or impaired, and the night time workers always seem intoxicated or something else.

Went in today and the sandwich was fine. But what I'm more concerned about is where the hell is management here? There was only one employee taking care of the whole store, and while she was doing the best she could and she had a positive attitude, why is it that all responsibly falls on one employee working? From the sounds of other reviews, it's a common occurrence to be only one employee working. And the employee said she didn't have a time known for when someone else might be coming in. Shame on management, I'm not coming here again to support this location.

One bartender here, Sammi, is without exaggeration the complete opposite of what a bartender should bring to an establishment. Instead of elevating the atmosphere, she poisons it by being rude, dismissive, and at times openly hostile toward patrons. Her professionalism seems selective at best which often creates an uncomfortable and unpredictable experience for guests. It’s hard to understand how someone so unfit for customer service is trusted to serve patrons. Beyond her demeanor, her actual service is equally disappointing, as she frequently forgets drink orders, and is slow to pour and return them regardless of how she’s tipped, etc. She isn’t just unpleasant; she slows down service for everyone. I can’t see how keeping her behind the bar is anything except bad for business. Your average guest probably doesn’t want to spend their evening feeling like an inconvenience… especially when the rest of the staff is welcoming, attentive, and professional. This contrast only highlights how out of place she is behind the bar. Having recently returned to town for school, I’ve seen no improvement in her demeanor or performance. Her lack of etiquette, professionalism, and basic social skills are second to none among the staff. Driftless Arcade and it’s patrons deserve staff whose attitude and service doesn’t leave customers regretting their visit to the bar.

Food was good, not a problem. Main concern is why there is almost no customer service in McDonald's anymore. They utilize kiosks so you can order food yourself, which is interesting as I would find that to be a last-resort deal when there is a line. But no, nobody was at the register and it was kinda odd to walk in without seeing someone in uniform looking your direction. Do what you need to do obviously, just found that weird. Another thing I noticed was that the tables in the restaurant were dirty as a whole. I understand if you are understaffed or too busy to deal with that, but they had plently of staff and it was relatively slow. Could've been better, not a big deal.

We were shorted a hashbrown during drive thru service. 2nd time I've ordered decaf coffee that was cold and wondering if I got the remaining of the pot. Y'all need to keep the decaf as fresh as the regular. The food was ok, eggs were mushy. Nothing seemed really fresh or hot.

Insane prices. Probably a 20% error rate on your order via the app. Impersonal, anti human, dystopian interior that makes it a sad experience when you try to get your missing items. Feels like McDonald’s has contempt for their customers.

I was on the fence today. I bought chicken nuggets and some apple pies. My nuggets were placed perfectly in the box. I've never had that experience before. I was impressed. But my apple pies..they were from 1:35pm. I got my order at 4:45pm. So with the good came a little not so good.

It's a very busy location, friendly and fast. Overall what you would expect.

I've been here several times. The staff has always been friendly, especially to my kids. I've never had my order mixed up. I typically go inside to order. They do prefer you use the kiosks to order, so if you like to order at the register you may have a bit of a wait.

Taco John's is a delightful fast-food chain that specializes in Mexican-inspired cuisine, offering a variety of tacos, burritos, nachos, and even breakfast options. My recent visit was nothing short of fantastic! Although I initially encountered a locked door, the staff graciously invited me to order through the drive-thru. Their warm demeanor made the experience enjoyable right from the start. The food was prepared fresh and tasted incredible—definitely a step up from other fast-food spots I've tried.
This Taco John's location was clean and well kept. The staff that greeted us was friendly and welcoming. The facility looked good. Our food was ready fast and was delicious. What a difference from the last few Taco Bells we've been to.

Bryan the store manager just got off the phone with....he refused to explain where the roach came from or refuse to replace my food. Already query with the health deparent and corporate......he said that it's old news about my loss and the food. I should have said something before leaving the restaurant.......believe me the food here sucks. And this out a very BAD taste in my mouth. NEVER again!!!!! This isent fair at all

I went to go get some food for my girlfriend so I walked there because it was not far and the doors where locked no problem they asked me to come through the drive through on the intercom and I ordered outside the staff was super amazing and inviting I understand that there are rules and regulations for closing the lobby at a certain time so it was amazing that they still let me order food was made fresh and tasted amazing the staff were well mannered the whole experience was amazing the facility looked clean no complaints at all and taco johns is better than taco bell all day I highly recommend you go here.

Both the food and service was good. The meat was fresh and juicy, not dry like it is at other places.
