"This is the way a restaurant should be. Great food,prices and service. I had the fried chicken-ate every bit of it and the coleslaw was awesome with thick pieces of vegetables instead of the stringy ,thin slaw that I usually get at other establishments. The waitresses were very attentive and real friendly! I will definitely stop again when im in the area!"

"We hosted a family gathering of 30 before my Dad’s funeral and were treated like family from the moment we arrived. The compassion shown during such a difficult time meant more than we can express. Thank you for allowing us to have a family-style lunch to honor our dad. Excellent waitstaff, pricing, and a wonderful menu made everything more than perfect"

"First time I tried this place drove by many many times. Definitely glad I stopped. Wanted a large Italian grinder. It was delicious fresh meat fresh lettuce. The bread was good. Also got a grilled chicken sandwich which was huge and the french fries were yummy. Definitely recommend going here little pricey, but definitely worth it"

"Nice spot with a good variety of plates. It's especially nice since there are few places near that area to sit down and dine with such quick and kind service. Last time I ordered chicken tacos. The meat was very well seasoned, however, I was very surprised at all the cold toppings. Must be their unique way of making them!"

"Usually great! Tonight got large cheese pepperoni and pepper pizza and a large farmers market pizza. The dough on both were near raw. The crust was so undercooked it was flavoless :( It could not hold the cheese and toppings at all so i had to cook all of it in the oven. Maybe it was someone new idk but it's the second time and very disappointing, just check the pizza before leaving :("

"Just ordered and picked up a large Steak Cheese and mushroom! Big enough to share and we did. Definitely going to be ordering this again from here in the future. Yes it was $15, but as soon as I grabbed it I knew it was giant sub. Delicious and overflowing with shaved steak."

"This worked out pretty nicely. Started off with the cheesy Bacon fries. The fries looked good but were undercooked leaving a soft mushy center. I followed up with a meat lovers pizza and this was impressive. A nice crisp crust, plenty of toppings and loads of flavor. You know the sauce is good when it shines through all of the meat. The service was a little slow but not unbearable. And the server was very pleasant."

"This was my first time, Michelle was absolutely wonderful went over all the specials! The scampi was delicious and so was the baked seafood! I love milk with my dinner and felt super special rocking it in a stella glass. I will definitely be back, don't get nervous about the parking lot being full there is a full bar as well as lots of take out customers."
