I haven't stopped in yet, but I know I'm definitely due soon. With all that good smelling aroma, and that mesquite smell in the air... I guess they'll say you'll be a fool not to, stop on in and take a plate ! I know I will, and I will return a five-star, with no despair...

The beef shawama sandwich WAS(because it is gone) by far, the best sandwich I have ever eaten. Great price too. You can get the sandwich and fries or just the sandwich. You have to try the food

Food was great, i got the beef kabob plate and chicken kabob plate, both really good. The plates came with rice and salad. If you go make sure to specify plate if not they might confuse it as only the kabob, lol i almost messed up. I only have a picture of my plate which i started eating because it was so delicious.
