This was my first visit (Apr 13)…but absolutely not my last! A coworker recommended this place when I asked about a “good chicken fried steak.” I’m so thankful my family and I chose to go here. This, overall, was one of the best dining experiences...Read More

Our orders were taken immediately, we had a party of 9 and our meals came out hot and quickly! The staff was courteous and refilled our coffee as soon as we finished. The food was delicious, I highly recommend the “grizzly” breakfast meal.
