“ Got in at 4:00 chicken almost ready. Had a beer and the double order of chicken fricassee and Polly remembered my moms loves them. Super super A customer service. We are like family! 20 plus years? ”
“ We had the pleasure of having dinner there tonight for the first time. I can't say enough great things! The food was delicious, from the soup, appetizers to the main meal. The wait staff was so friendly and helpful. The prices were very reasonable and affordable. The portion sizes were quite large. My only regret was that everything was so good, I had no room for dessert. I will be definitely coming back! ”
“ Food was great, burger had a char grilled taste like it was cooked on your backyard grill .... awesome. Service was also outstanding, they talked with my grand daughter about her 'doll' and brought over a chair for her. ”
“ Nicely decorated banquet room! Delicious food and service. Will give the restaurant a try in future, for sure! ”
“ I truly appreciate a place you can feel right at home. I have yet to have any bad service or food. Good Portions and offerings. Have seen owners take great care that the whole experience is a positive one for all. I am a creature of habit and when I find a place I feel at home I am very loyal. I would recommend topping off a great meal off with Raisin Bread Pudding with Whiskey Sauce. I actually enjoy the sauce over Ice Cream. Hey do not trust me, go and give them a try. I am sure you will appreciate the fine dining. Enjoy! ”
“ I love to come to Theodore's for lunch and dinner. They have a wonderful selection and I can always find something fantastic to eat. The desserts are excellent. Now I am waiting for Mother Nature to cooperate so I can come for dinner without having to worry about a wind storm or rain storm lol. ”
“ My family has several birthdays in March. We get together and celebrate them all at once. We did this here at Theodore's for the first time. There was 23 of us and we got one of their small party rooms. We all ordered separate meals on separate small group bills. The waitress that took care of us were fantastic! The were very attentive and accommodating. They took our orders and our meals came relatively fast. The food was very good and all meals were prepared correctly. Also the meals were very reasonably priced. They even served up the cake we brought. We always had a hard time finding a place that would seat us all together and feed us well. I think we found our place. This was great! ”
“ We gathered nearly 10 individuals for a buffet. It was exceptionally delightful, and in the adjacent room, there was a gathering of around 50 people. Surprisingly, we didn't hear a peep from them, and the service provided to us was impeccable. ”
