| - Giving 5 stars here. Rare for me.Likely would get 4, which is still a Gr8 rating.
They R getting 5 simply due 2great food & great customer service.
Prices r a bit high for breakfast, but GR8 4 dinner. This isnt your local diner food. Its eating in grandmas kitchen, well worth a buck or 2 more.
Extensive menu, breakfast lunch or dinner. daily specials. Grandma's home cooked type meals.
For me a 4 star review because they do seem 2screw up orders more often then they should whether eating in or taking out. If U get Meatloaf, why is it sometimes a huge slab & other times its half the size?Ditto for their sides.Sometimes U get a huge side order portions, sometimes U get a baby ones.No different w/any item,breakfast, lunch or dinner or side item.
Frustrating to order XXXX w/3 sides of xxxx, xxx and xxx, & U just never know if ur getting the same size portions, of the exact meal(s) U always get just a few days ago/or today...whether eating in or eating out. If this occurs, which is more often then I would like, how do u explain why1 kids xxx is twice the size of others, same age, same order? Easy to deal w/if eating in, but vry hard if its a takeout, which for several people is several bags of food & plenty of room to screw up, leaving kids upset cause his/hers is more then theirs, when it should be the same.
Regardless, whether eating in or takeout, or breakfast lunch or dinner, the food is always gr8. many, many meals, covering their entire menu have been eaten and enjoyed by myself & my own family as I got older.
They could almost throw any price on any item, and while you may not like the price, you will love the food....No matter what it is, its as good as sitting in grandmas kitchen.
Loaded breakfasts are extensive, hard to navigate/figure out what you want due to the large and extensive items available. Similar for lunch and dinner, but lunch an dinner are still easier to navigate.
The 4 stars I say it deserves is based on one thing as stated above...When you order xxxx with sides of xxx, xxx and xxx, it will vary greatly sometimes. They are a chain. You'd think it would be easy to ensure 1 serving of xxx is going to be close every time or sides of xxx, xxx, or xxx will also be very close in proportion each time. Thats not the case many times and no, I do not understand why. I know the food will always be good, but I dont get the large variances in the proportions they serve. Thats why I would say 4 stars..or maybe even 3.5 cause lets face it, if you order the exact same items time after time, and while you know it will be good, you shouldnt be left wondering why you got twice the size of meatloaf or any item, then you did the last time.
The reason they are getting 5 stars is cause again, the food is great. And while its frustrating to get the same food items that always vary greatly in proportion, the customer service makes up for it. Many times, eating in, after food is delivered, we are all happy...dont say a word. No need to. But the server will look down and say 'Hmm, thats a smaller slab of meatloaf...a smaller portion of this, that or whatever..then you should have gotten..Im going to take care of it'...and she comes back with extra xxx, xxx etc....And take in to account, we were happy and content...didnt say a word, wasnt going to say a word...perfectly happy...ready to eat, nary a single complaint.....Yet without saying a word, the server notices it and is back with xtra xxx, xxx or xxx.....
How many places do this? Not many. Heck, most places even if you did complain, it would be like pulling teeth and likely get you nowhere...Here, while I notice my meatloaf is smaller then last time or my potatos, greens, anything at all is smaller then last time...Im happy...My family is happy...we are ready to eat...no need to say a word....Yet the server looks & says 'you should have gotten more meatloaf then that...you should have gotten more xxx or xxx...I'll be back..'...& before we can even say 'hey, dont worry about it..its all good..we are fine'...she (or he) is gone & then back with more food.
So, with great food, & that type of service, how can this not deserve 5 stars? Typically, I & my family do not do lunch here unless on the road..If on the road, its the first sign we look for as again, terrific food, impossible to not be happy with & they smartly locate themselves directly off of hwy exits. On the road...easy in, easy out for grandmas home cooking. Hard to beat.
This particular location is like a g-dsend. All the years of only getting to enjoy CB if ur on the road...I, my family and anybody I/we know have always said/asked..'why dont they open spots we can enjoy everyday, if we arent travelling down the hwy'.
Thankfully they listened, at least here in my area.
And grandmas cooking is now only a couple miles away.
I highly rec CB, but be prepared, especially with breakfast, U will have a hard time deciding but whatever you decide will be worth every penny & then some!
