"They had no diet soft drinks(we asked no cans offered). I did not see any adults working there. Food was not as good as in years past. That said I like their mission and am hopeful they were just having an off day."

"It was just ok. Our group of 8 had burgers, short ribs, chicken tenders and salad. Nothing bad, but nothing real good either. Service was the same mediocre rating."

"I had high hopes for this place. So first the positives: the concept is cool and the food is not terrible. Now the needs improvement: the staff is young which doesn't make it a bad thing, but you can tell the experience right from the get-go. The staff needs more personality. There was a lot of rigid personalities. The problem with the food is that kit..." Read more

"I have to agree with recent reviews. Been going there for years. The food seems to have taken a step or more backwards. I always ordered the meatloaf and over time it has gotten smaller on the cuts and less potatoes and vegetables. Would fill the plate so much that I could never finish it. Now less is costing more. Wife got the brussel sprouts, came with the..." Read more

"We went on a Sunday and found it to be fairly empty. We ordered a Belgian waffle, burger board, kids fish and chips, and kids fingers and fries. They covered the fish in panko, somewhat of an odd choice, the tenders lacked any sort of flavor (and I mean salt), burger board is nothing more than what it sounds like, so not good, and a sad Belgian waffle with s..."

"I've been to the Garage a handful of times. During the pandemic we did takeout brunch that was excellent. Post-pandemic they continued to impress with good hot brunch fare. I have also gone for dinner and had less impressive food. It's basically bar food, which is ok but not always what I'm looking for in a dinner. My last trip there with friends was sort..." Read more

"Typical American food. Nothing great or outstanding , nothing terrible. A bit overpriced for what it is. Not the same as the original Epicurean unfortunately. Service was good. Inside does look like a garage. Thankfully a clean garage."

"I did a curbside pickup of an order here a few weeks ago. I haven't been inside and anytime who wants to dine out can. There are lots of tables in a variety of shelters just out side the door or in the grassy median next to the cart way. My dining partner was craving fish and chips and chicken and waffles so we go both and shared. The fish was jus..." Read more

"Came up a bit short in my opinion. Food was ok, I had the special Chalupas which were good but the steak was way too fatty. Service was excellent and the waitress was very attentive. I wasn't a fan of sitting in a greenhouse(literally), but I guess that's Covid. We came for cold beer, which is on their logo, but they don't serve alcohol - weird. We eve..." Read more

"Good food. Good service. Made a reservation but had to wait a while for our table. Our greenhouse was not warm when we were seated and we had to wait for them to start the heater which wasn't an issue but it made the greenhouse smelled like propane."

"Took the hubby for his birthday. Had cedar plank salmon (excellent). He has the crispy chicken sandwich and garbage fries w/gravy. The fries, even though they needed seasoning, were good. Dessert was good (not house made)... but they upcharged me for every little thing. I might go back to try dinner ... but it was pricey."

"Went here sunday for brunch and the quality of the food was not impressive and service was slow, feel bad as Austin the manager was very attentive but the wait staff seemed disorganized and slow. Took 25 minutes for our meal to come out from the kitchen also and was mediocre"

"Waiting for their liquor license, only reason for the 4 star. Great decor, and food. Loved their burgers and grilled Brie with bacon and tomato. My daughter was busy playing with the tool box that is packed with toys. My 4 start review changed to 3 on my second visit. Took my husband since I liked it, waited over an hour to get a table, and another 30 mins..." Read more

"Have been 3x and every time had a great meal and terrific server experience. I never mind a BYO and will be equally happy if/when they get a liquor license. The 3 stars is because I have driven over there about 6x in the past year and have been turned away because of "private parties?" or just closed? The entire shopping center is open and the restaurant..." Read more

"Went for lunch--the hummus platter was great, lots of veggies and humus. The eggs on fire was REALLY hot...,beware. Most disappointed about the liquor license situation..the logo says beer and food and there is a large bar but they cannot consistently offer beer etc. complimentary mimosas and house wine but unfortunately no beer."

"My husband, son, and I stopped by yesterday at 3:30 on the way back to the Lehigh Valley from a volleyball tournament. The place was so empty, I questioned the server if they were open when he seated us, although there were a few random employees around. We started with the nachos with chili and calamari. The nachos were enormous, and good. I will say,..." Read more

"First time here, it was ok. Limited drinks was a little disappointing, but it looks like they are trying to get their liquor license. The food was ok, fresh, the salad was very tasty. We tried the chicken mango salad and a turkey wrap (cold bacon) needed some taste it was a bit bland. Parking no problem this is in a strip shopping center."

"Good. Still going though some growing pains like trying to get their liquor license so it's BYOB for now (they will give you 2 free draft beers on Sunday if you don't want the mimosas ). Choices of brunch were good if not varied. We will be back to enjoy the process!"

"I really wanted to like this restaurant more than I did. A series of little details left me feeling underwhelmed. First, I ordered a flavored water and they were out, so no big deal took my second choice. The server brought my second choice and gave me an unopened can and glass with ice. I went to open my can and sliced my finger on the tab. Just a little b..." Read more

"We were really excited to try this place. Our server was incredible, however, it took FOREVER to get our food! Like, 40 minutes. The redeeming part was the food was delicious but the wait really deterred me from giving this place a 2nd shot. Also, the jamaican jerk wings tasted like old bay and sugar. That was the only food we got that we did not like. The C..." Read more

"Here's the honest breakdown...food was excellent, wonderful variety and good portion sizes. Just 2 criticisms for the food...First, we went on St. Patrick's Day and were slightly disappointed there were no special menu items that reflected the holiday. Second, the prices for the Children's items are slightly outrageous. Granted, they do have one of the most..." Read more

"Great Beers from Root Down. The food is also good, but overpriced. And why would anyplace have a burger on the menu, but not include fries or even chips with it?!"

"Burger was not especially good and was more expensive than other great pubs and restaurants. Altogether, the prices seem like prices we find at byob since they can't sell beer but this place does and that is a separate check and the usual craft beer prices. When you add it up, I think this place may be pricier than other better choices ImO. I will sa..." Read more

"We were excited for a new restaurant to come into this space. The decor is nice, but the space echoes and there's a lot of background noise, even with space partially filled. The waitress was pleasant and efficient but the food was only passable. My husband said the food was mediocre. It would be great if there was a veggie burger on the menu, giving those w..."
