A nice quiet place to grab a bite. Bonus that it's close to home! The food is here is unbelievably well priced. I had the blackened peach chicken burger my mom had the steak sandwich. The food was fantastic . I have never had a blackened peach burger (perfect amount of spice, with the sweetness). Service was great, very friendly. Lots of parking.

The only breakfast restaurant which was able to accommodate my food to be for celiac (gluten free) they went so far as to ensure i had different potatoes cooked separately. This was the third restaurant I tried trying to find accommodations for my medical condition so we will be back tomorrow. Great customers, service and food all around.

Came in for a warm meal after a cold ride on the bike.

First impression on walking in was "wow this place is busy" I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to get a table but to my surprise I was greeted immediately by the hostess who said she had a table ready !!!

Walking through the building listening to the friendly banter of the patrons and plenty of laughs from various tables really gave me the feeling of a hometown type spot.

As I got seated I was promptly introduced to my server (Melissa) who was all smiles and even though I could tell she was slammed busy she was still bubbly and had a heap of pep in her step.

I ordered the Moroccan chicken salad with a starter bowl of the daily soup ( steak & mushroom 🍄)

Firstly the soup!!! My word it was divine. Coming from a culinary background in my younger years I like to think I've got a pretty robust palette and it was firing on all cylinders.

The salad followed closed behind and visually it had my stomach begging to eat it.

It did not disappoint. Moroccan seasoning can be very finicky and easily over bearing but it was paired along with a beautiful house dressing on a bed of spring mix and seasonal veg that it was PERFECTLY balanced.

During the course of my meal I got to watch what I know now to be the only server in the entire restaurant engage with patrons and even though she was tending to not just a full house but also helping the hostess with telephone orders she not once showed any signs of not being a complete professional and taking care of customers I'm every way possible all with a smile and a touch of industry banter!

Well done Melissa and all the BOH staff and hostess.

💯 will be back

I figured it's time to update my review since I just finished my last shift after working here for the past 3.5 years. The owners, Tim and Ting are both such wonderful, beautiful, hard-working people and are absolute gems to work for and to know. The other chefs and kitchen staff also consistently put out the most delicious, high quality, homemade food. I am not even being biased when I say that absolutely every item I've tried on the menu (which is most of it 😁) has been divine and truly tastes like it's made with love. My favorite person to work with and have serve me when I come in is Claudine. She is a lovely person, inside and out, has a gift to make everyone she encounters feel special and heard. She has a big personality and an even bigger heart and I really grew to love her like a sister. That being said, all the serving and kitchen staff I've worked with here are truly awesome people and I will surely miss them. Anytime I'm in the area this is for sure my go to place for a perfect meal and good company with all the wonderful customers that frequent as well. Thank you for everything guys!

The food was really good and the portions were huge. The price was very reasonable, for the 2 meals costed shy of $50. Also the coffee was alot better then most places. Will definitely come back.

Honestly hate leaving bad reviews but save your money and support elsewhere. We gave these guys a third chance and wish we didn’t. We tried their Sunday buffet today for $23 a person. We walked in to very little food in the warm food area of the buffet at 10 am. When it was slowly reloaded it was a few items here and there and the taste was just not enjoyable. The bacon was awful, I don’t know how you screw bacon up, scallop potatoes just had such an undesirable taste we couldn’t eat them. The pastries were stale like they were sitting out for a day. We didn’t get our drinks, water and coffee, until we were about to get up to leave. Service was awful, food awful even the fruit was not fit to eat. No more chances Roundabout.

Food is pretty good with average amount. But never have I had dirty swamp water with what taste like Italian herbs served as gravy. Absolutely disgusting !

If you haven't tried roundabout, do yourself a favor and get there! This hidden gem is absolutely amazing. The menu is so extensive and the food is homemade and fresh. If I could give 10 stars I would.
