Food is great but ever since it was sold you don't get the best of service Ive been in multiple times and homeless people like to hang out and sleep at the tables not sure why they allow this saw a guy barefooted sleeping on a booth once and no one said a word

Fast service, friendly staff, food was delicious. We ordered a spaghetti meal for our toddler and they didn't put the sauce on it which was great since we forgot to mention it. Definitely coming back next time we come to Covington/Cincinnati area
