review: i 've been here about 10 times (because it 's in walking distance to work and i have lazy co-workers). granted, the cream of turkey soup is very good. however, after that i really don 't see what all the hoopla is about. the other food (fish, beef, etc.) is very plain. the pies are definitely nothing to write home about. i don 't get it. a restaurant needs to offer me more than soup in order for me to recommend it. the service is uneven. some days it 's very good, other times the staff will ignore you. i also do not think that there is a good price/quantity ratio (you don 't get a lot of food relative to the cost). i 've dropped $12 to $15 on lunch for 1 person (burger and fries or a club sandwich).

review: this year we forgot to order our pies. i braved the traffic and lines because it 's not thanksgiving without grandma 's pies. the line for customers that didn 't pre-order moved quickly and having the cops direct traffic was nice. kudos again to grandma 's.
i recommend you order the any pie

review: it was my first time eating saturday evening with my son and fiancee and i have to tell you not only did the gorgeous decorations appeal to me the minute we pulled into the parking lot, the inside is also so beautiful. the staff is awesome and i will be back. now on to my favorite part of the dinner besides all of it, the cream of turkey soup is the very best i have ever had, and it is so perfect in the texture. it just is the most wonderful place. thank you for sharing all of the wonderful things and food and pies with all of us.
i recommend you order the cream of turkey soup.
