      What an amazing spot! Excellent food, service and amazing positive attitude. You will feel like family here! Had the chicken, turban, homemade chips and everything was just amazing tasting. Oh and the hot pepper mix is tremendous. We will be back

      Gotta take a break-got sick after eating food that I knew was re-cooked (fries) in old grease (hard like potato chips)! Tenders didn't seem cooked enough, even though requested for them to be cooked hard (crispy).
      That's called MY FAULT! Not anymore! Made my whole fridge stink (didn't want to put in garbage till garbage pick up-smell too strong)! My friend said she got sick as well. Paying top dollar for bad food! That angers me!

      I meant to make to this restaurant for their notorious and famous fried chicken.

      It was so cute when entering and made me think of New York and New Jersey-style mom-and-pop Italian eateries I'd go to as a kid.

      It was a warm, inviting, lively ambiance upon being seated. Our waitress greeted us quickly despite it being packed and all seats being occupied. The dining room had a low light with candles on each table, which was a comforting and relaxed dining atmosphere.

      We started with the incredible calamari. It was fried perfectly with a fantastic house red (marinara) sauce.

      I got the penne alla vodka and wished it had peas or meat on it, but otherwise, it was still terrific. My guest got the smothered bone in 20 oz pork chop with caramelized onions and rice pilaf. We added a small order of fried chicken, two pieces, I believe, with jojos (large coated potato wedges.)

      My pasta dish was quickly 3-4 meals in one, and after the calamari and my house salad, I think the house ranch was homemade and tasted better than my go too which is Hidden Valley! I only had a small amount and was indeed so full. I did take a bite of the chicken and of a Jo Jo.

      The chicken is out of this world. So lightly breaded and cooked to perfection while flavorful and so juicy inside. I did try dark meat, which is my preference when eating poultry, but I can imagine how this was prepared. Any type of meat would be outstanding.

      I will definitely you be back for the chicken alone and the fantastic service we received. I cannot say enough good things about this local landmark!

      Burns Vista is a great place if you can afford it. I have BV taste on a McDonald's amount of money. It was great when I was younger and could afford it but now it's just a lot for me.

      Very nice place to go. Quiet and they have been in the business for so long, I heard.
      One of the kind place. Food was good was well.
      To me, beets was very sour from soaking into vinegar. Overall I wouldn't mind coming back again.

      Our first visit to this establishment last night. Everyone made us feel like we've been going there for years. Sat at the bar. Very cool. Had the chicken which I heard was good. They weren't wrong. It was delicious! Would recommend this place to everyone. Can't wait to go back

      If you're in Warren, you have to get some buena vista chicken. It's always so juicy and crispy. The Jo-Jo's are a personal favorite and you really can't beat the price. I made the mistake of ordering chicken Parmesan (it was delicious don't get me wrong) but when I seen my boyfriends chicken I knew I made a mistake lol. Service at the window is always good. Everyone is very nice there.
