Reviews
First and foremost, the service is impeccable. I tried it out in order to visit a friend working at the bar, and became a regular after meeting the rest of the staff. The owner makes it a point to get to know and warmly greet everyone. It's an art. She's so genuinely happy to see you, and you feel so appreciated for supporting their business. On top of all that, the food is BOMB. A great variety of Portuguese, American, and Italian options. At one point, karaoke was available on Fridays, and that was a great time. Very much recommended!
At the start of COVID, we made the conscious choice to support local businesses (instead of chain restaurants) whenever possible. In May, we saw a friend post about this restaurant and after taking a quick look at their website, we decided to give them a try. Every single thing we have tried from here has been delicious. We love the variety of family style meals they offer daily and have tried just about all of them. The family style portions are meant to feed 4-6 people which means that my family is able to enjoy dinner and there's enough left over for me to bring to work for lunch the next day. The staff is friendly and welcoming and they are able to accommodate special requests any dietary needs and preferences - just ask! While the restaurant is open for in person dining, and they are following all COVID guidelines, it will be a while before my family and I feel comfortable eating inside a restaurant. So, until that time, we'll continue to support this small, family run business by grabbing takeout from them each week. Follow them on Facebook to see what family style meals and specials they are running and call ahead for quick and easy pick up - and be sure to treat yourself from something from the dessert case. You won't be disappointed!
Had lunch at Paquette's Family Restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. We ordered my pear and Gorgonzola salad with chicken, which was great and my friend had a tuna on brioche, with sweet potato fries. He said his tuna was great and I tasted one fry and it was cooked crispy just the way I like it. Our waitress was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was clean and decorated nicely with the Valentine's theme. I never needed a rest room, but based on the cleanliness of the restaurant I assume bathroom would be the same. Handicap parking was available and the rest of the parking lit was adequate. First time coming to this restaurant. I would consider coming here to try out their dinner menu.
I placed delivery orders from this restaurant and have had no problems with it both times my food was prepared nicely, it got here hot, and it was really good. Here's the fun part, the restaurant actually delivered some chili and macaroni and cheese to the South side boys & girls club while I was there for a bazar this past Saturday. I'm watching my cholesterol, but from what I heard the food was still just as good as it was when I had my food previously
Stopped by on a Monday not realizing they were only open for dining Thurs - Sunday Brian said I'll seat you. This was our first time here as they were closed last time. What a delicious meal!!!!! Even took home dessert which was all homemade and tasted heavenly. Will recommend and return soon. Thank you again Brian for setting and serving us
