“ The staffs were very friendly and the ambience is great! The inside interior was pretty but I chose the terrace seat because there was a river nearby. It was very relaxing apart apart from the noise that you can hear from the train when it passes by. Food was great too! ”
“ had a spicy meat burger, which is basically a burger with spicy chili meat. it was incredibly good. also they had the best プリン i have ever had. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Staff was friendly. ”
“ Mind Blowing. I had the Chocolate Cake, Chilimeat Burger (add cheese) and an Oreo Milkshake for the drink. The food was amazing and the staff was super polite and friendly. There's English on the menu and even with no Japanese, a tourist could order without difficulty. The store was clean, open, and had plenty of natural light. We sat inside where the AC was cool, and the views out the windows were lovely. There is two parking spaces for cars, and plenty of space to park or lean your bike. I look forward to visiting here again! ”
“ I highly recommend people to come this restaurant when you go to Mt. Takao. The food and owner and atmosphere are so good. The Japanese owner has American blood so he and this restaurant have American culture and taste and mood. In terrace, you can have feel nature. Nice view with river and trees and train like Japanese Anime. ”
“ First time visiting this establishment by road bike. No bike rack available, but parking along the fence which overlooks a small river. The staff were very friendly and spoke Japanese and English. The atmosphere was comfortable and open. The music ranged from the 60’s to modern which gave a nostalgic as well as relaxed a feeling. The Japanese menu not only provided pictures, English descriptions were available in addition to an English menu (no pictures). I ordered the Mac and Cheese Cheeseburger with and Oreo shake. Everything about the burger was great. The lightly grilled bun held a plethora of taste. Fresh veggies, sautéed onions, juicy patty and a side heaping of flavorful Mac and Cheese. The Oreo shake was blended well enough to drink though a straw or eat with a spoon. There’s plenty on the menu to choose from… I’ll have to make a few more visits. ”
“ We had the mac n cheese burger and a tasting plate of 4 miniburgers. Both meals were amazing. The bread was home made so they actually had flavour, the burger had plenty of sallad, tomato and onion with a meaty patty. The miniburgers were all full of flavour and the green miniburger being my favourite. The miniburgers are small so if you have a massive hunger then it might not je enough even if it has a small amount of fries on the side. There are however plenty of mac n cheese on the plate for the big burger We also had a cold Latte and a coffee shake and the shake was probably the best one I've ever had. I would give this place more stars if i could ”
