"I visited V’s Sunday for a birthday brunch from noon until 2pm and about 6;30 that evening I started feeling really bad. My throat was killing me, couldn’t swallow and my face was aching I went to the doctor and they said I had strep throat. I ask if you could get strep from food and she said yes if the food was contaminated. I won’t be visiting V’s again or eating anyone’s buffet."

"So disappointed my tenderloin wasn't cooked enough and the crust was like wet greasy flour. The wife ordered a reuben had no thousand island dressing . Then when we called back they wanted me to drive back down there. Offered no compensation for their mistake and the woman on the phone said I am just the bartender. I am a warehouse manager for a large corporation if I treated my customer like that we would be out of business.Won't get take out anymore but will go back because we have had good meals there."

"This spot is a hidden gem! If you haven't gone, you are missing out. Both inside and outside are great seating locations. Definitely try their mushroom cheesecake. It is to die for. I haven't disliked anything here. Once you are done, check out the shop above the restaurant. Lots of fun and unique items."

"What a delightful hidden gem! Nestled inconspicuously off 24 highway, this place boasts the perfect location--so perfect, in fact, that you might drive right past if you 're not paying close attention. The bacon chips are an absolute must-try; they make for a fantastic appetizer. If they happen to be out, fear not--opt for the bacon wonton wraps instead. A word of advice: order them as soon as you settle in to ensure you don 't miss out. Now, let 's talk about the burnt ends or ribs--they 're my second go-to, and honestly, you can 't go wrong with anything on the menu. Bacon takes center stage as a staple in this joint, although calling it just a joint feels like a bit of an understatement. The decor adds a unique charm, featuring chopped-up old cars, diecast cars adorning the walls, and car-related signage scattered everywhere, creating a cool and nostalgic atmosphere. While the space may be somewhat cozy, it 's adequately sized to accommodate guests. Additionally, there 's an outdoor patio seating area for those who prefer to dine al fresco. In conclusion, this place is absolutely worth the visit. Even if there 's a line, I 'd recommend waiting--it 's an experience you won 't regret."

"This place is fantastic! A tiny hole in the wall that is easy to miss while driving by. It was filled with construction workers at 11:30 am and I see why! Best breakfast around and the prices cannot be beat! The owner, Portia, came out and asked each table how they were and if the food was good. She was a doll! The server, Kenna, is the best and a total doll too! She calls everyone friend and makes you feel like family. I highly recommend this place!"
