I enjoyed the fish and chips basket and my husband had the chicken fried steak. He had a little love affair with the dish.. which included a perfectly baked potato, a salad and garlic bread. Very mom and pop vibe. Hubby cannot wait for our next visit which he suggested maybe tomorrow morning.

We always enjoy the food. Sometimes the staff seems angry and it's hard to know if they're actually angry or if it's a cultural difference but we keep going back because it's never "bad" enough for it to deter us.
