Mediocre food, long wait time, weird atmosphere, and extremely rude owner. I confirmed with the server at our table that the chicken + shrimp pasta would be $19. I did this due to being confused by the prices and the server told me that yes, it would $16 for chicken pasta or $19 for the chicken + shrimp pasta. I went for the $19 option of chicken + shrimp pasta due to the server confirming the price.
When I got the bill, however, I saw that I was charged $16 for chicken pasta and a SEPARATE $12 for shrimp (only 5 btw). I told another server that this was an error and that the previous server told me that it would be $19 for the chicken + shrimp pasta option. The server then called the owner over, who then explained that I was charged correctly. I politely explained to the owner that the previous server told me that it would be $19 for chicken + shrimp pasta. The owner, accusing me of being a liar, said in an extremely rude tone that the server has sold dozen of those dishes and that she knows what to correctly say when customers inquire about it. I responded to the owner that the previous server clearly told me that it would be $19 for chicken + shrimp pasta. Not wanting to argue, I told the owner that I would just pay it. The owner then rudely sighed and said that she would take the shrimp off while stomping away like a 5 year old having a temper tantrum! I paid the reduced amount and left but not before writing “rude owner!” on my receipt. I will never return here. Totally unprofessional.

First time eating here was yesterday, the service was absolutely terrible. Which should have been a given since we were the ONLY ones there. Besides a table of 4 people came right before we left. They “forgot “ our drinks MULTIPLE times, was out of literally everything we asked for on the appetizer menu, and the drink menu. Not to mention they messed up our tickets after coming to the table and writing down everything that each couple had. (4 tickets) only 8 people and everyone got a burger the only difference was the drinks. You mess up change from $100 bill and can’t even count the money correctly, and then charged one of our debit cards 2 times.. Not to mention the burgers weren’t even cooked all the way. We waited over an hour for food. I’m not sure how this place is even still open. We will never be back.
Hands down this place is nothing short of being just AMAZING. Beautiful atmosphere, exceptional service, good value for the price and delicious food. The owner was top notch and on her A GAME. She introduced herself and continued to check on us, making suggestions on food to order and most friendly. It's very obvious that she prides herself in how her business looks and how it's ran. Both she (Mandy- owner) and the waitress (Chelsea) were phenomenal. 10/10 I highly recommend. Food was so good and seasoned to perfection that we didn't have to use the salt n pepper shaker. They have an amazing selection of wines and top shelf alcohol (although I was at work and couldn't try any- but will be back) SUPER CLEAN ESTABLISHMENT. However this hidden gem is only open for lunch through the week and on FRIDAY AND SATURDAY for dinner. Therefore planning ahead of the trip there is ideal. Personal thanks to Mandy for running such an amazing restaurant. Tell your cooks in the back that they ARE THE BEST!! y'all got a regular customer here baby. Thanks for making my lunch memorable. See ya soon.

I got hair not once but twice in my food. I ordered out with my boyfriend and he found two hairs in his pasta. I got a cheesecake and found one in my cheesecake. How do you get hair in a cheesecake???
Two for one burger day on Thursday is great, burger and their fries are very good and me and my husband eat for less than $15.
