    It's been a long time since we went to Happy Inn! I heard they changed their menu so I thought we'd give it a try. We had the Willow salad, the salmon and the skirt steak. I thought the food was really good. My husband said the skirt take was just OK. Our waitress was maybe new and didn't serve us very well . She kind of disappeared and then forgot to put our order in after I asked a question about my meal. She never came back for soda refills, or water. Having said that I would definitely come back because I enjoyed my meal .

    Restaurant. Rowded but we still had good, fast service. Salad was very good, except the chicken on top was dry.

    Our service was not good. We waited almost 20 minutes to just get our order taken. Food delivered quickly but the same salad I always order was definitely downsized. We asked twice for our check.

    Everything was wonderful! We were there for Passover! We were a large table and they set us up perfect so everyone could talk with each other. We brought our own Seder Plate and did a mini Seder! They offered delicious Passover food or you could order from their menu! There was something for everyone! We will definitely return to The Happ Inn.

    Juan, our server, was excellent, he was very busy but on top of things. He was personable, answered our questions and there when we needed something.
