The food is always hot, the selections are always great. The staff are usually friendly. Haven't met anyone otherwise. Definitely should bring cookies and desert pizza out more often, though. LOL!

Came in because it’s kids eat free day and your Altoona ia location does not participate until after 4 when I questioned it the girl at the register was argumentative about it I was just inquiring. I’m a single mom and my son loves to eat here so it’s a win but not when I have to pay on kids eat free day. Just disappointed and lesson learned.

Thanks for visiting, Traci. Our Kids Eat Free promotion begins at 4pm every Tuesday. I'm sorry we didn't communicate this effectively.
