Food first grade. Service was not bad the waitress was really super friendly. They just really should have had more people working. Had they had more waitresses or waiters working then the service would have been better

Had lunch the other day as a late Valentine's date! We both got the Undead Elvis (my FAV!) and i had the Peanut butter banana shake, the combo was delicious 😋 Absolutely loved it, and the customer service was great too!!

We had a great meal here on Saturday. We joined the virtual wait-list and got a table after 40 minutes. Our server was super friendly. I hadn't been there in over 8 years and it's impressive that the quality hasn't changed, it's just as good as ever!
