"I don't know how they can be so consistently good. I love their ribs with medium hot sauce. I have never had a bad rack. I've been going there for 8 years. Check it out."

"Had them at Country Heritage Winery as always been a fan of their restaurant. Everything was delicious, one if the best BBQ sauces in town. The service was a bit odd, however. I know they were busy but I had 3 items and they all came our separately. By the time I had it all and went to eat, my first dish was getting a but cold."

"Why didn't anyone tell me about the ribs? They fall straight off the bone. The sauce was fire! My daughter loved the chicken and waffles. The service was fast as well. I will be back"

"Haven't been to Ziffle's for at least 20 years. Last time there they were a cash only establishment. The restaurant was very clean and nicer than I remember. The only shortcoming was how close the tables were. We were in the corner which made it very difficult for even my 11 year old to get out to go to the restroom. Halfway through dinner another couple was seated right beside us. They had to shift things around to sit down. The server was very nice and was on top of things at all of her tables. The food was also very good. We tried their wings, ribs, pizza, and chicken tenders and wasn't disappointed by any of it. The coleslaw was one of my favorites. The "everything" pizza was piled high with fresh toppings and real mushrooms. Except for the seating arrangement everything was great!"
