The best family restaurant in town!!
Wonderful food. Great service!
This place is pretty great, salt of the earth type place. I'd love to try their Reuben, I wasn't really hungry and just had the deep fried linguica. Which, in retrospect, doesn't really need to be deep fried but they had a great dipping sauce to go with it.
