    I just want everyone working at Banners tonight to know how thankful I am. This was a first date. I love Banners, and he had never been. Everything was perfect. Our server was fantastic. Attentive while giving proper space and time. He was on point. The kitchen! Please never stop. The food was delicious (as always)! I while always recommend Banners food. Your burger is unreal. And the atmosphere was amazing as always. The tables next to us were even friendly, and that has nothing to do with Banners. My date forgot his hat, and the staff was so helpful finding it. Thank you all so much for a perfect first date! It means so much. I'll mention you if we get married haha. Much love.
