Last word on the block was unofficial approval (mehadrin+) by some rabbonim, although they only have a rabbanut hechsher. People will tell you that many yeshivish people hold by it, but I don't know what that means exactly.

Most people I know who consider themselves chareidi or Yeshivish wouldn't hold by it.

Most chareidi people I know rely on it for milchig, like breakfast, but not fleishig, so not shabbos meals.

They are not recommended by the mehadrin level hechsherim. They claim to be mehadrin but the mashgiach will not allow any other rabbanim to check and they have been known to bring in products that aren’t up to usual standards. For those that eat rabbanut or similar hechsherim they are definitely ok eating there.
