1st time eating here. Lots of good healthy options to choose from. I had the grilled catfish and it was delicious. You have to go up to the counter to get your food when it's ready.

The El Cajon branch is amazing. They prepare the food well. Taste is great and prep time is usually fast. They are responsive to special request. Service is typically very good. A server, Tabitha, is an outstanding worker with superb customer service.
