Frosty’s is definitely a place you need to see. We loved the fact that it was not over crowded. They only let a certain amount of people in at a time. A timed ticket reservation is required. It’s great for all ages! Can’t wait to go again next year!

First time at Benny John’s for Sunday Brunch. We were one of the first tables seated. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The restaurant is attractive inside and very clean. Food service was a little on the slow side, but we could easily look past that. The French toast and pancakes were slightly dry. The Burrata Salad and French Onion Soup were both excellent.
