Me & hubby had breakfast, they had a all you can eat buffet with everything you could have wanted. Bacon was great, sausage was , I don't eat scrambled eggs but other guests was saying they was good, many choices of fruit, cereal, bagels, danishes, &/or donuts. I really like this place and it's very family friendly.

Sunday Brunch is amazing! Most delicious carved ham, made to order omelettes, bagels & lox, fresh fruit and more. Bottomless mimosas or bloody marys!

Horrible! Took my father here for breakfast. Tables were not bussed. None of the tables were clean and only two people working. They avoided taking our orders. Lack of customer service. Absolute worse experience.

Over-crowded and mediocre food at best. If you like waiting in line for 30 minutes to get food that taste bland then go for it. Otherwise avoid it. The staff is friendly at least.

Had a 2pm oil change appointment. Took 15mins to complete. But they close at 3pm.Asked to check my shifter in my outlander before hand. No reply. A normal appointment takes at least an hour. Felt like I was zoomed! Through!. Attendant could explain why last oil change was free and this visit $90buck. Said it was a courtesy. For what? Lastly my reciept says u disconnected my maintenance light. Explain please!. Have to drive to Kentucky this friday . Wish me luck

So I visited south side social while staying at the Hilton this week. I thought I would try the restaurant as the last time I was here they were remodeling the Hilton. Let me say that the place looks great and they should be proud of that. The waitress was very friendly and the last time I was here she was my bartender and friendly then too. As to my experience..... it was long, not by choice. Not because of the quality of food or staff, but the wait. I arrived at 7:20 and ordered a water, deviled eggs, Brussels sprouts, wings. I was traveling for work and needed something quick so I selected a

This place was once called whitneys. Same great joint, different name. Their Sunday brunch is outstanding. Elise was my waitress and she gave me all the details for brunch. And everything she suggested was 100% spot on! Loved her service and her sense of humor. I will definitely go back, this time with a group, because I will be telling every living person I know! Thanks again Elise. See you next Sunday!
