Ate here with my family and the food was very delicious. The staff was friendly. The restaurant's atmosphere was very relaxing and you can tell they poured their love into the place. Tried the pizza that I'm assuming is a new addition to the place and it was really good đź‘Ť Might become our next pizza place. Prices are very very reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you get. They even have a selfie camera once you enter the restaurant you can take pictures...

This is our favorite restaurant hands down for affordability and tastiness. Highly recommend them. Fast service and delicious skillets, amazing pancakes and so far decent dinner foods (the poor boy is a bit different, still tasty but not like a poorboy). The only complaint as a regular is they’ve changed their rewards program to dine in only from 3-9 and with a newborn we do a lot of pick ups and still spend our money and have loyalty, yet the reward program no longer extends...
