The calamari is great! You wont regret trying anything off of the menu! The jalapeño chicken wraps to the meat loaf all the way to the steaks are great choices depending on what you are craving that day! Did I mention that the salad bar is phenomenal? I've tried many of the drinks here, and I love the long islands and I especially love their red cabernet sauvingons! this place is great whether you are coming here alone, with a group, or for date night! I could really go on and on about why you should eat here but I'd love to see you experience it for yourself! Tonight I had the pleasure of Alexia and Kolissa serving me and they are both great compliments to this establishment! They also were more than accommodating! 5 out 5 EVERYTIME!”

    “Yesterday, 12/30/2025, we came here to celebrate my partner’s birthday, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. We ordered the chicken appetizer along with two burgers, and everything was delicious — flavorful, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. To top it all off, we were surprised with an amazing dessert that made the night feel extra special. What truly stood out, though, was our server. I regret not getting his name, but he was a gentleman with dark hair and glasses who also worked behind the bar. He was genuinely kind, incredibly attentive, and made us feel so welcomed. His personality shined just as much as the food did, and he went out of his way to make sure my partner’s birthday dinner was memorable. Every request was met with warmth and a smile, and his service truly elevated the entire experience. Thank you so much for making my partner’s birthday dinner so special. The food was fantastic, the service was exceptional, and we left very happy. We will absolutely be coming back soon — and whoever reads this, please pass along our compliments to him. He truly made our night.”

When you dine in the self order is little tricky at first. The whole inside is always clean. The food it great! My favorite is chili Mac supreme. The kitchen looks clean. The employees are presentable. Dining room is clean. Very pleased with everything. Id recommend going and trying it out if you haven't been there in a while. Ive heard so many people saying how its better and so much has changed. Keep up the great work!!”
