Not only that but we waited quite a bit for each order, probably because of Valentine’s day. My husband had gotten the patty melt I believe, but it smelled and tasted like a hotdog? At the end of our meal we had gotten the brownie sundae, and the pieces that were not covered with ice cream was hard as a rock and had little to no homemade flavor. Our waitress was lovely, but overall we were not impressed simply due to quality and price.
