Bistro 1245
May 8, 2009 by Thomas
Overall Rating: 4
Food:[4] • Service:[4] • Atmosphere:[3]

• Clean, good wine selection, friendly people.
• Expensive food, small portions, servers disappeared.

“I came to Bistro 1245 expecting it to be a good place to eat, but it was only mediocre. The food was pricey and of the not very good category. I pay for a small plate of Pasta Roma. My friend paid for a salad Nicoline that was the size of a side salad from cracker barrel. The restaurant was clean and the servers were friendly, but only came around to help us when they took our order, saw we were done eating, and to drop off the check. Parking was a task and the restrooms are located outside the building. You have to walk down the walkway and around the corner to get to them. If you have money to burn, you are welcomed to stop here. If not, go somewhere else like McAllister's.”

Food:[1] • Service:[1] • Atmosphere:[3]

• Nice outdoor seating.
• Cold fries, horrible service, way overpriced.

“I cannot believe the service that I was given at this restaurant. We were sitting at the table for over 15 minutes before anyone came to get our drinks. After we got our drinks it was another 10 min before she came to take our order. I ordered a French dip sandwich (roast beef and melted cheese) and my friend ordered a grilled chicken sandwich with guacamole and cheese. 15 minutes later the server came back to the table to tell me that there was no more roast beef so I ordered a turkey sandwich with cheese & asked for the sandwich to be pressed (like the French dip). She said they could do that. 15 minutes later she came back with a chicken sandwich with marinara sauce & cheese and my cold turkey sandwich. Both my friend and I pointed out this was the wrong chicken sandwich and my turkey sandwich was not hot. She took the sandwiches back to be fixed but left us the sweet potato fries since we had waited so long and were starving at this point. My friend and I munched on our cold fries while we waited for the sandwiches to reappear. My sandwich came back hot, and my friend got her chicken sandwich fixed (but there was still marinara on her bun).”

Clock Restaurant

Overall Rating: 10
Food:[9] • Service:[10] • Atmosphere:[7]

• Excellent waitresses.
• No sushi.

“Food has always been good, maybe not "haute cuisine" but dependably cooked exactly as requested. Open 24 hr, great waiter service, and reasonable price.”

The Sandwich Inn

Overall Rating: 9
Food:[10] • Service:[8] • Atmosphere:[5]

• Food.
• Employees don't have enough coffee at 6am.

“This is a great drive through burger shop, A little run down, but it adds to the charm, it has a two sided drive through and a walk up window (if you prefer) it is also the door that the employees get in and out of, so hold it for them if you see them carrying pitchers of yummy sweet tea! The food is the best greasy food you can get, and def beats any chain burger you can get, but you must try their breakfast, awesome sausage egg sandwiches, and burger egg sandwiches, tater tots bring you back to preschool and if that doesn't do it for you, it is probably the only place to get burgers for breakfast, because they serve lunch at 6 am! Too Cool!”
