Amazing fresh food and super friendly staff. Lots of locals here which is a good sign when traveling, they know what’s around and chose this. Couldn’t have been happier! You won’t be disappointed!
First time there today. Recommended by a longtime customer. Loved it all. Best French toast I’ve ever had!
First time there! Food was so delicious and staff was courteous. We will definitely be coming back. I recommend the Monkey wrench pancakes!
