"Food is very good but my god does the service SUCK. I’ve been here twice now and both times the staff don’t listen and mess up on orders repeatedly. Don’t think I wanna come back again"

"Sad I have to give a one star review because the food was actually pretty good. But the service was so bad that my husband and I had to give it a 1 star. We come to the junction city location quite often but the last 2 times in the last month the service has been absolutely horrendous!!! Coffee never filled, she never checked on us, never smiled, had to ask boxes our check, etc etc... You would think they would hire someone with experience especially for the prices they charge. Very disappointed and won't be back unless they get some better people in here to take of the guests!!"

"I go here and dine alone about every other weekend. I have never once had bad service. I usually go on Saturdays but switched things up a little and went today, on a Sunday. The parking lot was jam packed! It took me a half sec to realize it was the church rush. I expected to be there a little longer today, which I would’ve been ok with. The restaurant about to full capacity but I was happy to see they had a few of the single booths open on the back wall, so no wait at all to sit down. The kid that works as a host up front is very welcoming and hardworking. I’ve never had to wait longer than 60-90 secs to be seated. Both servers that work the weekends are great too. I really didn’t expect to be in and out as quickly as I was today but those girls are on it every time. I get the same thing whenever I go and it’s always delicious. The butternut squash and andouille sausage frittata is phenomenal! And the lemon vinaigrette on the greens is one of best dressings I’ve ever had in my life. I always eat every last bit and leave feeling very satisfied."

"Childers is always great and has options for brunch and dinner, sweet and savory, and vegetarian and vegan options. It's a nice atmosphere for family, friends, or just a nice meal on your own. The drinks and bar options are a plus. The food is always tasty and they have options that other restaurants do not, especially brunch places."

"Amazing food, friendly service. The waitress went out of her way to make me some awesome sweet tea! The bacon and eggs were perfect! I'm not sure what kind of bread they have, but the toast was fantastic also!"
