Such a nice place. I love the old school part of it and the food was amazing. You have to do your own points, so I learned how. Fun place to go nice and small. More

Food was great, but the baby seats there were FILTHY! Like years of grime on them. Obviously never cleaned or even wiped down. The wood was so black with food, dirt, and grime that I could easily scrape it off with my fingernail. More
