“I am from out of town visiting Indianapolis for business. I was getting food to in drive through, when I was asked if it was my first time I was encouraged (if I had time) to come inside to sample all the flavors before making a decision. Upon entering the store I received such a warm and friendly welcome. Everyone had a smile on their face and seemed happy. I tried several flavors and a soup. The gentleman that was waiting on me was incredibly attentive and helpful. It seemed he really wanted me to have a good experience. He shared what his favorites were and was engaging. The restaurant was so clean and bright. The food was delicious and my meal included a cookie!!100% would recommend, absolutely no complaints!!“
