Another mistake. This is mistake #4. My family loves the food so we keep going back but man they screw up a lot. Maybe it’s how their system allows them to add or subtract condiments. Ketchup with tomato on one cheese burger and mustard with jalapeños on the other cheeseburger. Got a drop of ketchup on the ketchup and tomato one. Ok fine. I can add some cause I’m taking this home. But the mustard and jalapeño came with giardiniera and ketchup. I mean come on. Last time I ordered the Buffalo chicken salad with grilled chicken instead of fried and asked for it to come as is and with the Buffalo sauce and guess what. No Buffalo sauce. I mean we just wanted the chicken grilled is all. A other time I asked for a cheeseburger plain and they have me a burger plain. Drove back and told them the mistake and they gave me a new one. Guess what. They still didn’t give me a cheese burger. “Cheese” was left off cause I asked for a plain cheeseburger. Maybe I should have asked for a plain burger and add cheese. I don’t know what else to do.

I stopped in last night around 930pm. I hate to be that person, but I was hungry. I didn’t get any names, but I wanted to say the entire staff from very friendly and accommodating. I placed my order and sat down. The staff was busy closing down and cleaning up. I got my food right away, ate and left. Thank you again for the kindness and politeness of the staff.

I have tried various items from here now, and each one is really good in their own category. The protein bowl is an absolute must and if you’re wanting a good meat sandwich, try their beef and giardiniera, baptized! It’s amazing! The employees are very friendly here and the atmosphere was very relaxing.

Not the least bit impressed. Beef lacking in flavor and meat. Sandwich not even very hot & place 3/4 empty on a Saturday night. The cheddar cheese sprinkles on the beef were a joke. Fries hot but just average. Won’t be going back.

So today was the first time trying. I didn’t know they had pizza and pasta. I went inside so I can study the menu for carryout. I ordered small fries, grilled chicken sandwich with no tomato and add cheddar, beef n cheddar croissant add lettuce , and chicken strips with BBQ buona sauce and ranch. The fries are no frills about average. It’s really tough to make the perfect grilled chicken without making dry. This was slightly dry, could have used more mayo or maybe sauce I did end up putting bbq on it. The beef in the croissant definitely has that strong beef taste that many people might enjoy and it tastes good with the cheddar but it was pretty thin for a sandwich. Expected it to have more meat. Lastly the chicken fingers were great, they were tender, juicy and thick. I’ve been trying to find good chicken strips since denny’s and IHOP changed theirs and this will definitely be a choice for me. The only thing I hate about restaurants is they never have enough sauce for the amount of food so you need to ask for extra sauce. So tired of that. Next time I will try the pizza and pasta.

Fabulous beef the way you like it. Crispy fries and now you can get “an original rainbow cone” for dessert!What more could you ask for. They also cater parties.

THEIR CHOCOLATE CHIP CANNOLI HAS ME IN A CHOKEHOLD. They make it fresh once you order and I literally drove 40 mins south just to find this location so I could enjoy their heavenly cannolis. 12/10 would get the cannolis and would recommend it to anyone with a brain.

Welcome to the neighborhood! A new location and a new entree choice? Perfect! As a long time Buona customer it was nice to see all my favorites on the menu AND the addition of pasta. Everything we ordered came quickly and there’s a very attentive staff. We’ll be back soon

Went thru the drive thru. Buona Original salad was really good. It had bits of pasta in it. The rigatoni was good as well as the chicken caesar salad. The meatball sandwhich was too salty but I still give the experience 5 stars overall.
