The French Toast is a TKO. It will knock you out good with good deliciousness.
The food was absolutely delicious. I got the chicken (wings) and waffles.
Walked in while just looking for food and didn't expect much beside some quick food. I ended up ordering the meatloaf dinner plate with mash potatos and mac and cheese. The food was surprisingly good and was worth the price portionwise.
The only real complaint I have is that the interior looks somewhat clinical. Which is what led to me not expecting much, also they were out of green beans, which wasn't a big deal.
