Ice Qu

A busy Saturday morning will find this place serving all kinds of people, young and old, families, friends, and singles. It's very welcoming, right down to the USA proud decor. Love the menu variety. Coffee is pretty good too, and they have those little flavored creamers. The avocado toast is probably my favorite!

A very nice store with all the necessities for basic (and sometimes beyond) grocery needs. The parking lot can be a bit busy at times, so look about and stay aware as you navigate to find a spot. They have great sales, especially if you're tied in to their loyalty system.
The brightly lit aisles make it easy to find your earl grey tea and cornflakes, prepackaged salads and frozen fries, etc. A good grocery store in a big shopping center with other satellite shops around, so convenient for running errands.

Popped by here on a warm Saturday morning to take a look at what they might have. First off we noticed The Boots! So many great choices for folks of all ages and tastes. Great selection of hats, western shirts from modern to old fashioned to patriotic. Also western jeans - so many!! Even a few bolo ties if you are looking for these. We looked at belts, too. Many choices in cool designs, but alas, no matter what design we liked they didn't have the size we needed. That's okay. We will pop in again next time.
What's also good is the big parking lot so if you're hauling a trailer it's easy to access. Also friendly staff who want to help.

Another impromptu decision on where to have dinner! We found ourselves arriving on a Friday right at 5 o'clock,.though we had called ahead to find out about the wait. "No wait," for a table of 2 anyway. Cool.
Walked in. Greeted promptly. Offered happy hour seating in bar area but decided on main dining room. Sat at one of those counter top height tables, but the chairs were padded so they were actually comfortable, even with an arthritic hip situation. They do have regular tables, and even have high chairs for any kiddies in tow.
We started with ice water, had some iced tea and a cocktail, then ordered a cheese plate that promised cheese, crackers and a little fruit jam. Okay. We got that. The cheese was decent but the crackers were sad broken bits, a handful at that, with no special array or garnish. Ahem. The meal though. There is where this place did a solid.
The filet arrived perfectly cooked, nestled on a bed of mashed potatoes and a careful array of asparagus. The flat iron steak atop an interesting interpretation of polenta with salsa-ish garnish was less lovely, more rustic. Now taste. Flavorful and not needing any salt - rather a good, pleasant taste. Happy surprise!
Why only 4 stars? The appetizer seemed like a careless, vague thing, unworthy of being on the menu when the entrees are quite nice. The temperature inside the place was hot, hot, even though an air con unit was visible but apparently unused on this 90 degree day. On the plus side, though, staff seems well trained and without any bias toward the variety of customers. And, bonus! They do have shaded or sunny areas on their outdoor patio. All in all, a nice place.

For selection, this is a pretty good store. Keep your eyes out for sale items! Many times there are good bargains for everyday tees and shirts and more, starting at $7 per item and up.
On this visit I picked up a couple of essential tees (not on sale). The cotton is so soft and cozy! Two for $20, men's tees. Very nice.
I agree with another reviewer, however, that being asked to donate to some charity when you are concluding your purchase is an unpleasant experience. Besides, where is the proof the money even goes to helping people? Kind of a turn off.
I get away from it, though, because I always say I have my own charity I work with, as I think most of us do, donating time and/or money to causes that are close to our heart, rather than close to a cash register.
With all that, I would still shop here. Employees are told by a corporate office what they must say/do, so it isn't their fault about asking for donations all the time.
