"Food was quite tasty but don't be fooled by the pictures. Cheeseburger shows lettuce tomato, well it came with nothing not even ketchup packets. the basket of tater tots are just tater tots with no drizzle of anything on them like in picture. Thank goodness I got cheese sauce added on the side. "
"The American Wagyu French Dip had hardly any beef and was dry and overcooked. It came with no "beef au jus". The Ghirardelli® Chocolate Brownie thing is fine, but it came with no ice cream, so I paid 10 dollars for a brownie basically."

"I liked the taste but the fish portions were a bit smaller than my previous order."
"Was rather let down by the experience. I never received the drink I ordered, which appeared to have not even made it into the order when picked up according to the dasher picture. The Grandma's Sampler Pancake Breakfast was a good portion of food for the overall price. Eggs, sausage, and bacon were well cooked even if the ham was incredibly fatty while simultaneously dry. The pancakes were pretty good, although the syrup was extremely watery and rolled right off. The side order of fruit was great. It had a nice array of fruit and was fresh. 5/10- likely would go elsewhere."

"Absolutely delicious Cobb Salad. Talk about getting your money's worth it's almost two meals for me. Love this pub and have tried just about everything on menu and you can't go wrong. Enjoy "
"Always the hearty Cobb salad as I remember it. The portion size is the same as it always has been, which depending on your appetite...this is a definitely a shareable salad. I appreciate them honoring my request for extra egg and bacon, which they've always done in the past. I'd prefer more green parts in the romaine and not just the hearts, still doable though. One thing for sure, and this might sound nit picky, but this no plastic bag thing has gone off the rails. If ordinances were passed to ban plastic in your county, it should be a normal cost of doing business to provide paper bags. If someone's dining in and they don't want or require a bag is one thing, but when the public is using meal delivery services, it's not a good look that a driver has to handle and balance your bagless containers against them. It is in essence passing along your costs to the consumer with no regards to how it makes them feel when our food arrives. Presentation still matters in the restaurant business. This is no reflection on the driver, Michael."

"Buttermilk (Plain) thanks Tallow for being part of my go-to meal prep for the week! Flavor is consistently amazing. A little gem tucked away right off Island Ave inside the Shoprite. Highly recommended for those looking for a cleaner, quality, no seedoil, no ultra processed ingredients, locally sourced chicken. Great sauces and top notch locally made buns. 5 Stars. Even if you're not looking for any of that you'll notice a difference in flavor you won't find anywhere else. Truly, the GOAT Tallow Gang"

"i keep ordering from this restaurant because of how much meat they cram into their dishes. this is exactly the amount of meat to rice ratio i am always wanting from a sushi place. and the prices are not bad either. im addicted to the Spicy Crab Inari and always get at least 2. the Soft Shell crab(Spider) Roll (6 Pieces) is a really great item for crab lovers... try it... and the Salmon Roll (8 Pieces) like i said is always so packed with meat. just look at the texture of that salmon in my photos... it's always really fresh. last time i ordered i got the garlic shrimp and spicy chicken inari and they were very overcooked but maybe they would be good if i had them fresh in the store, the flavor was good. anyway i love this place ill always order from here<3"
