Customer Reviews
Don't judge a book by its cover! I tried brighter horizons more recently. As I don't drive down west avenue that much and it's located in a ghost lot (not much going on). Went to lunch with a friend (good meal, excellent service) so I then went back the same week with someone else to try their breakfast menu. It was delicious! I had the veggie omelet and my friend had the steak and eggs. The steak was beautifully cooked and huge! Definitely recommend trying their breakfast options.
Great food and service! Hamburger with rye bread / fresh cut fries hit the spot. Bonus points for Halloween decorations
Service is awesome. Food is amazing. Great experience.
Great food, excellent service always. My favorite!
Awesome place to eat! Great food and menu choices, outstanding service hands down, and reasonably priced for the portions. Try the Black and Blue burger, it's my favorite!!
There’s an old saying: “the chicken tenders and fresh cut fries are so good you want to kiss the cook!” They are crispy and cooked perfectly. I keep returning again and again!
