We’ve been here a handful of times and the food has always been amazing. We recently brought my in-laws and my mother in law said it was the best reuben she’d ever had. Reisa NEVER misses!! You’d be fine ordering anything on their menu!

Great food. Order through the website everything is online. Been planning on coming for a while, ordered the Vermont. Was delicious. I would say it’s a hidden gem.

Dont judge a book by its cover! This restaurant, at first glance, had us questioning the high rating, and even more so when we walked into a completely empty restaurant. But the owner greeted us, was very friendly and helpful, and cooked our burgers himself....Read More

Great all around. Very good food at reasonable prices. The daytime menu (before 4pm) is limited but sufficient. Nice space with some outdoor seating in the front and back. Excellent service.

This place is the very definition of a hidden gem. It is right next to the car wash exit but the building is recessed so unfortunately you can pass right by it. Big mistake if you're looking for a classy place to relax and dine,...Read More
