What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
The Cookster is celebrated for its consistently delicious, homemade food and creative daily specials, making it a local gem for takeout. While many praise the high quality and unique flavors, a few diners have encountered issues with unfriendly staff, detracting from an otherwise excellent culinary experience.
"We stopped by to pick up some take out food for dinner. Everything was delicious! We had chicken thighs, roasted potatoes, green beans in vinaigrette, and the most amazing brownies for dessert."

"The food is good but unfortunately the staff is extremely rude. While ordering lunch I asked a few questions about the menu, including allergies information and whether or not things were spicy (ordering for my 11month old daughter).. the woman at the counter rolled her eyes at my questions and pointed to the menu on the wall. Obviously I read the menu but still had questions. Like I said, I enjoyed the meal but will never return!"
