Had the pizza here and soup. Nothing too special. Its more geared toward the video gambling now it seems. Service was slow and not attentive to drink refills etc

I’ve been here plenty of times and I’ve always gotten great service here. They are so friendly and sweet! I wish they had liquor there but I love that they have the video gambling! The only thing is, I feel like the machines are always in use every time I come in… It’s a cute and friendly environment for my friends and I to grab lunch or drinks! I would definitely recommend Tracy’s to anyone!

Returned again to try their pizza. I am a hard one to please when it comes to my pie. However, they pulled it off. Ordered a sausage and garlic pizza. It was a little pricy at $ 18 but worth it. There is stiff competition in the area when it comes to good pizza so for them to be in the same league is impressive. Especially since pizza is not their driving menu item. The crust was extra thin and slightly crispy. Perfect for me. I like a lot of sauce so I would have liked more but compare to others they did OK on that part. Sausage was an interesting lighter color and tasted great. High quality ingredients all around. I will order pizza from there again but it won’t become my primary pizza place.

I have to admit that ½ price large pizza Monday is awesome. The pizza is good and if I grab it on the way home a cheap dinner for us. However, try to get someone at the register that can do basic math. It took forever for the man behind the counter to overcharge me for my pizza despite the fact that I told him what ½ the price listed on the board was. It’s really simple — $ 6.50 for a large cheese pizza and then add $ 1 for every ingredient. Not hard, still overcharged. The kids want the pizza again. Even overcharged it was a deal. It is not for the pizza that I rate 2 stars, but for the staff who always seems they are in over their head. I have never eaten in so I can’t comment on the dining experience.

Got this place delivered about 3 times now at work. Everytime its something else wrong(missing orders, messed up cash, rude phone service, unanswered phone service, problems running credit cards, not prepared to run a delivery service, etc). Lots to choose from, however below average quality. Never tried dining at the actual place.

I went in with modest expectations. I knew that the previous owner of this spot had some of the best food in town, and that Tracy’s had opened some months ago. So I decided to give this a shot on my day off. I got a mushroom burger with drinks and fries. My wife got a cheese calzone. Nothing too difficult or out of line here. The calzone was good, with a nice yeast dough and an overabundance of cheese. The burger? Not so good. The fries were okay. Hot, but not at all seasoned. They were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, which was good. The lack of seasoning, unfortunately, persisted to the burger. The patty was plain meat, there wasn’t anything special about the bread, and the mushrooms seem to have been sauteed in vegetable oil, there was so little to it. A little salt and pepper goes a long way, guys. When you find yourself longing for a Wendy’s hamburger across the street, something has gone quite wrong. On the bright side the meal was quite inexpensive($ 20, tip and fountain drinks included for the both of us) but Tracy’s should be doing more with the ingredients they have.

I took my mother and wife out for lunch today to celebrate my mother’s belated birthday. I let her choose and she mentioned Tracy’s that she has been to a few times. We were greeted by all the employees upon entering and were seated right away. Our waiter was extremely fast and pleasant. My mother had the cream of broccoli soup. She said it was good. I had the garlic bread with cheese. The garlic bread needed more garlic in mine and my wife’s opinion. We all ordered the gyro plate. They were delicious. This was the only place I’ve been to where the gyro included olives and peppers. The pita was very fresh and the meat had a nice flavor to it. My wife thought the feta cheese was a bit bland.(I passed on the cheese). The tomatoes were also very fresh. The size of the plate was generous. I like the décor of the restaurant. They had quite a few things on the menu and look forward to coming back to try more. Plus they were very reasonably priced.

Within the past few days I received one of those magazines filed with nothing but coupons and flyers for various local businesses. On the back cover of this magazine was an advertisement with coupons for a place called Tracy’s Bistro. Immediately the place intrigued me as I noticed Gyro’s and Hamburgers featured prominently in the ad. After checking out their website I discovered that they had Hot Dogs and soon set out a plan of action to visit and give the Hot Dog here a try. Leaving work I called ahead and ordered a Chicago style hot dog, and a special hot dog they have called a «Tracy’s Dog» and soon set out to give them a try. Upon walking into Tracy’s Bistro I noticed one large counter attached to a bar, a few tables set up and quite a few people seated around the bar. I was given a cup for a drink to go and after paying for the food headed over to the fountain drink machine(coke products here if you’re curious) to fill up before heading back to my car to depart. They also gave me an extra order of French fries. I made the quick trip home and soon was ready to dig in, the first hot dog I grabbed out of the bag was the Chicago style one. This hot dog had diced tomato and onion on it, a fairly thick but not too sour pickle, and some slightly hot sport peppers. There was also quite a bit of mustard on this dog. The interesting thing here was the sausage itself, it was a much thicker than usual(for a Chicago style hot dog) sausage that had a taste more similar to a smoky link than a normal dog. It was skinless and tasted pretty good. The problem with this hot dog was the bun, the bun was a non-poppy seed style that was dry and somewhat on the hard end of the softness scale. The bun really made this more difficult to eat than it needed to be. Overall I’d say this hot dog tasted good, despite the fact that it had almost no relish on it if any at all(I didn’t detect it) which is strange for a Chicago dog. The problem with it really was texture, that bun had to go. The Tracy’s Dog suffered the same bun related issues as the Chicago style dog. It came wrapped in bacon with a fried hot dog inside the bacon wrapping. It had mustard and sport peppers on it and no other condiments. This tasted fine as well, but the texture of that bun really brought down the overall experience. I also tried a few of the french fries here, they were actually pretty good and were a long sweeter style fry. Being that I’m not a big fan of French fries(or French dressing, French accents it just goes on and on from there) I didn’t eat too many of these but found them to be well above average. Overall I thought the Tracy’s Bistro’s hot dogs and fries tasted fine, but the hard buns used definitely led to some texture problems. A suggestion to the business if they read this is to steam their buns ahead of time to alleviate this issue. I would return to Tracy’s but due to the bun situation the hot dogs wouldn’t be at the top of my list of foods to try again. I am going to give Tracy’s Bistro three stars.
