WOW these folks know what they are doing. Food is super fresh, and in fact none of it is pre made-- only after you order do they start to cook, and they are fast. Limited menu but so so good. Choices are unique. Go and find out yourself. Street corn was really truly tasty. Favorites are the steak tacos and yes, super tender, no beef jerky tacos here. Also they have a neat selection of ice cream! The folks who run this place are very nice, kind people too :)
This is a nice, retro, family restaurant. The food is clearly mostly homemade instead of just trucked in pre-prepared and reheated. The chicken parmigiana was much better than I expected. I normally don’t like meat spaghetti sauce, but there’s was hearty and had a good beef flavor to it. Large portions. We also had friendly service. Check it out.
I love this place. It's the quintessential small town restaurant. Super friendly. Great, home cooked meal. It's our got-to place for special occasions -graduations, family visiting, etc. Don't go to Chili's (ours is gross anyway). Support a fantastic local business!!
