"We love this place! A semi hidden gem. The combo of Combo #3 Entrée and Combo #4 Vegetarian is perfect for sharing between 2 people (and maybe have some left over for lunch the next day!). Flavor is great and quality is high. I recommend the Kabuli rice as well with your combo. Staff is super friendly too. Highly recommend! "
"The Combo #4 Vegetarian was delicious, however I overpaid considering that 85% of this dish was rice. There were barely any vegetables... The Peerakai Bolani perhaps didn't travel well as it arrived to me absolutely soggy with grease, but then again all of the food was excessively oily. It also seems I overpaid for this, as they were hardly filled. I had a late order, so I will give them the benefit of the doubt. Great flavors, poor execution. Better luck next time?"

"Overall, everything was okay, but the experience could have been better. We arrived around 1:30, knowing they close at 3, but unfortunately, the service felt a little rushed from the start. It took at least five minutes for someone to bring us menus, and our waitress seemed like she was already ready to call it a day. I asked for water without ice, but she seemed a little bothered since she had already brought me a glass full of ice. After placing our order, we waited more than 15 minutes. Meanwhile, staff were already mopping the kitchen and other areas, which made it feel like they were more focused on closing than on the customers still dining. On the bright side, the food was delicious, and the coffee was good, too! The food definitely deserves credit, but the service and overall atmosphere could use some improvement. A little more attention to customers, even toward closing time, would make a big difference."
"Compared to other breakfast restaurants we've ordered from this skillet was a smaller portion. Also, side pancakes were just stuffed into a tiny container."

"We got the southern decadence and crab cakes Benedict, hash browns with cheese, biscuits and honey, cinnamon rolls, and Swedish coffee. Everything was really good, probably the best breakfast I've ever had from a restaurant. The portions were also very large so we definitely got our money's worth, this will be at least two meals for us and we both can eat a lot."
"I ordered the crab cake Benedict simply off of how amazing it looked in the picture that is advertised by this restaurant only to find out that the picture was AI and is NOT a real depiction of the actual meal. The "crab meat" was anything but real or flavorful. The crab cake & muffin were quite stale & the textures were off putting. I am baffled at how this item on the menu has a "high rating". I guess my tastebuds just know what real crab meat is actually supposed to taste like. The breakfast potatoes lacked flavor and there were no onions or any sort of peppers in them. The eggs were ok, not bad but nothing to rave about either. A little black pepper & hot sauce fixed that. I would not order this particular item again. I'd try something different next time. I WILL END THIS ON A POSITIVE NOTE & say that the best part was the cinnamon rolls. They saved the day! VERY TASTY!! The portion size of my meal was also very generous."

"Arby's... you make the BEST tasting Burger in the Fast Food game, by a long shot! It was just delicious, once again. I have really enjoyed having it more often during it's second limited time run. The flavor and texture of your burger is just so enjoyable with the crunch of that outer crust, and then the juicy, tender inside explodes with juicy perfectly seasoned beef and fresh ingredients. I prefer mine without the onion and lettuce. I really hope that this delicious burger will become a regular offering. I highly recommend it to anyone!"
