2:29 pm - Feb 28, 2010
I've been twice and was more than disappointed. A simple order takes at least 30 minutes to come out of the kitchen and the waitresses are more interested in gossiping by the coffee pots than greeting...

2:05 pm - Jan 25, 2010
Bad Service. Bad food. Giant waste of time. Waste of money too. We used to be great fans of Claxons. But no more. We have given them more than 1 shot to redeem themselves, but they just suck. The serv...
