Yelper Charles H. wrote, "This place excels in providing a very productive yet relaxed environment to do work in. Based on my experience on a weekday afternoon, this was one of the quietest places I've been at. Almost felt like I was in a museum. Music and TV volume was kept low. Lots of natural lighting without any window glares."

With a five-star rating out of 11 reviews on Yelp, Four Day Weekend has been getting positive attention.
Leila A., who reviewed the show on April 30, said, "I wasn't sure what to expect from an improv show, but these gentlemen were nothing short of hilarious! The audience was able to participate before the show by putting some ideas and statements on index cards, then the cast used them in the most creative ways! If you want to laugh until your eyes start tearing up, you must see this show!"
Yelper Kelsey M. wrote, "The performers are hilarious and skilled. The theater is adorable and has a full bar. The location is perfection — walking distance to a plethora of bars and restaurants."

Phillipe R. wrote, "It's literally my favorite spot to eat. The flavor of the food is impeccable and unbelievably good. Seriously. I chose the number one (lamb/beef) and asked for extra protein. They were not bashful with the amount and I got more than I expected."

From more adult flavors like matcha and torchata to kid-friendly flavors like PB&J and bubble gum, there is truly something for everyone."
Yelper Mack T. added, "The twist here is they pour liquid ice cream onto the cold surface with your mix-ins and the ice cream is created right before your eyes. Good and friendly staff, a lot of SMU students and the ice cream is great."
