We stopped by as we were traveling through. All 4 of us got a different sandwich and each was fantastic! Staff very friendly and helpful. True hidden Gem stop!
Absolutely nothing. The sandwich I purchased for over $10 only had on slice of salami and is named the monster salami. I mean come on. Extremely disappointed
The place to go for sure! Best brunch ever!!!!
