This place was a wonderful spot for brunch. The food was great for a decent price, the staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and it was an overall great spot to grab a bite! Would love to come here again:)

We are there for dinner Saturday and came back for breakfast Sunday morning. My granddaughter said "this is the best food ever. They are fast, nice staff, and cool decorations." We will definately stop here again.

On 3/31/2025 David Hoffman had this to say:
We had the tenderloin special, and we were NOT disappointed. This place is a gem hidden and tucked out of the way in a strip mall. We'll be back.

On 3/22/2025 Kitt Elkins had this to say:
Went there with a large group, I'm not sure, but I doubt if reservations were made or not. But they took care of us. My first time there, it won't be my last
