Everything was delicious! Despite a full parking lot, we didn’t wait long for a table. Chicken wings were huge and the veggie sides were seasoned well. My burger was gigantic and topped with everything. The appetizer potato skins were fresh and very cheesy-definitely sharing size!...Read More

Even when they were super busy on a Friday night, the waiter was attentive and the food was delicious, fresh, and worth the wait. I remember going there when I was a kid, and it is still an awesome place to eat.

The waitress we had was so helpful and so sweet. The food was delicious. It’s the first time I’ve ever eaten my vegetables before I eat the rest of the food. If you’re anywhere close, this is a place you need to try.
