Great customer service. Amazing food. Gritter burger is definitely my favorite. Make sure to come very hungry or you’ll be taking leftovers for sure.

Super nice people/service to chat it up with and great service, all of the food is made from scratch and absolutely superb! Me and a buddy got the breakfast buffet that transferred into the lunch buffet. They have options for the buffet not on the buffet bar they are willing to bring you as well. The coffee was also very good. All in all great lil place and I will definitely be back

My husband and I stopped in around 3pm because we just had to try something new that wasn't food from a chain store--we wanted something homemade. And we hit the jackpot! We shared their homemade warm pastrami sandwich with cole slaw (also homemade). So warm, tender and juicy! The owner was there and we really enjoyed conversation with him, along with a great waiter who did everything for us so that we would have a great dining experience. Next time we are going to try the fish tacos. Can't wait! Compliments to the chef(s)!

The place itsself is great the records the guy behind the bar cool enuff. The brisket sammie tasted like i licked the smoker lingered in the back of my throat and the breqd was soggy not even toasted just melted butter and greasy smoke worst one ever. Pulled pork sammie was just as nasty my bottom bun was so full of oil grease whatever was clear and dripping off my bun nasty man and the italian salad was pretty much oil and vinegar so watered down couldnt get a flavor the only thing good was the sauce i was gonna go try the tip bites but i think ill drive to mishawaka

(REVISED) Not as good as I hoped it would be!
Long story short, the above review was 5 years ago and then I had rated 2 ⭐'s.
7/24/25 I went back today for the first time in 5 years and to my surprise redemption had been made!
Pastrami was to die for, it was so juicy and full of flavor, Baked beans were spot on delicious, Apple fritter bread ala-mode also very tasty! Thank you for the delectable meal.

Best pastrami I've ever had. I've been going at least once a week. And their customer service is the best you'll get in the town. Overall this place is a 10 out of 10
