I was lucky enough to have your Dutch apple pie brought to our Thanksgiving. Best apple pie I’ve ever had. Simply delicious!

The service could not be any slower. The hashbrowns are cooked in a puddle of oil and they don’t use butter for their toast. I asked for butter and received hydrogenated vegetable oil it took a full 30 minutes to get my order. This was my first time at this restaurant and my last they didn’t even clear my table when I sat down for 15 minutes.

Great food, clean and friendly atmosphere. And good service.
