Excellent food and service from Bell! Right there when ya need her. Only thing was the Lemon-aid was a little weak but not holding that against them. Every restaurant makes different. Thank you Bell for the great meal and service.

Nice local joint for a quick bite! Big menu to choose from with some classics and some crowd pleasers. We had the shrimp tacos, which were great! Good selection for kids as well. Our server was very kind and chatted with us about the area.
