"The Battered Hand-Battered Fish & Chips and the NEW Bourbon Street Mushroom Swiss Burger were excellent! There is way TOO much ice in the Fountain Drinks. You end up with only half a glass of soda so not happy about that but the burger was huge and prepared perfectly! I asked for the meat to be pink and it was just pink enough. "
"the bun was burned, the burger was greasy, the onion rings were so cold and hard I could not chew them. I only could eat the patty after I sopped up the grease and dipped in the BBQ Sauce. $26 for a patty is way over priced. "

Seafood Pasta is my favorite thing on the menu, it has a great variety of fish and a lot of flavor. They also give you fresh bread when you order"

Not only was our food EXACTLY as requested but there was even this note: If you have allergies (gluten, tree nuts, etc) come here! The pasta is delicious. The kids chicken is huge & always a hit."

"It was cold by the time it got to me. I like the mashed potatoes and gravy. The wings were small and the oil tasted slightly old. I usually find fast food to be too salty, but the wings were under seasoned. The biscuit was not good. Don't think I'd get this again. It cost too much for what I got."

"The quality and flavors of the food were amazing :)! We both absolutely loved Hapy Bistro!! Delicate flavors that were not at all boring! Delightful!! We had the Chicken Shawarma and the Lamb and Beef Kebabs with rice. The salad was excellent, as well :)!"
"Good salmon entre. They were out of mashed potatoes which was a little bit of bummer they subbed a side salad and I think they should have probably subbed a starch like rice, but this way forced me to be extra healthy so I can't complain about that. I do think for the food they provide it's a bit overpriced (probably 6 oz salmon that I presume is farm raised since it didn't say otherwise half a cup of roasted veggies and a side salad for $35.00.) Everything was flavorful and good though....veggies on point. I also love that they are open late until 10pm. "
