    The food was good just a little underseasoned. It was pretty quiet until a group came in. It’s a cute little shop, and the menu prices are reasonable. I would go back, but just don’t expect fantastic food.

    Waistress was nice, food was INCREDIBLE - like I will be dreaming about the fajitas and steak quesadilla forever. And that SEASONED BUTTER OMG WHAT WAS THAT SEASONED WITH. I never knew I needed that in my life but I wanted a thousand more cups. Really just such great food. And the margs - WOW. Usually drinks at restaurants taste like a sugary hangover and have a drop of alcohol in them, but nope, not at Superica. Those guys do it big. Delicious and strong drinks. 12/10. Can’t wait to go back.

    Our server, Nicole, was great. Made recommendations and shared her favorites. The food was delicious. We had zucchini fries and cauliflower for appetizers. I loved the pimento egg chicken sandwich and Brussels sprouts. Other items were blackened salmon, hot honey chicken sandwich, and bread pudding. All flavorful and good.
