February 2026
Its been a while since I came here. We bought Korean chicken plate and the chicken was not warm, the large chili and rice is such a joke, my 6 year old can eat 3 of these....I didnt realize how little the give now and how much they increased the cost. This is almost a $30 meal, plus we got a large drink and grilled cornbread, even this wasnt warn when wo got it. The food is lacking, the service is okay, they are not really personable, but again you never know how ones day went....
January 2026
The food was alright but the pancakes were terrible. The prices are pretty high. I paid almost $22 for the pancake combo and a cup of coffee not including the tip. When there aren't a lot of people there, the service is quick and friendly. I went there before and it looked like they had just gotten over a big rush and many tables were still to be cleared. They only had 2 servers so we decided to go elsewhere.
