We stopped in to get some fish for dinner and ended up getting the southwest Mac and some regular Mac and cheese for my baby and evening was so amazing!! Can't wait to come back and try the street tacos I saw on the menu! 😍

100% recommend. They have a chicken burrito bowl that mimics chipotle but BETTER! Thanks for the great food and options!

I am writing to share a troubling story about the owner of this restaurant. A close associate of mine loaned a significant amount of money to the owner to help with their business operations. However, after only two weeks, the owner blocked the agreed-upon payment and has since refused to repay the loan. Despite multiple attempts to contact the owner and resolve the issue, they have been uncooperative and evasive.

It seems that the owner has used the loaned money to fund their business, yet has no intention of honoring the repayment agreement. This kind of behavior is not only highly unprofessional, but also raises serious concerns about the integrity of the business and its owner.

I strongly caution anyone considering doing business with this restaurant or its owner. Their actions suggest a complete disregard for their financial obligations, and their refusal to repay the loan is nothing short of theft. It's clear that they cannot be trusted to handle financial matters responsibly.

If you’re thinking about working with or supporting this restaurant in any way, I strongly recommend reconsidering. The owner has proven to be dishonest and untrustworthy.

The food was immaculate, very down to earth atmosphere, the owner was right there with his employees helping to make the food. Food was made to order, hot and fresh out of the oven. You definitely get your money’s worth of food, if not more, as the portion sizes are huge. If you want to find a hidden gem of a restaurant while you’re in the Red Wing area, do NOT hesitate to stop here.

Boyfriend and I stopped in here after seeing a video on Tiktok. The food was absolutely amazing and you get what you pay for. See something you like but wanna swap out ingredients? You CAN! Even have gluten free and vegan options for my plant based eaters. Huge portions, delicious flavors, and a wonderful owner. We were the only ones in at the time and got to chat with him about how he created this business from the ground up. Absolutely incredible food and staff, the dining room and bathroom were spotless, and the options are amazing. We will most definitely be returning. If you’re looking for your next new restaurant this is it.

The tables were coated in a layer of grease making them sticky and were made of two boards with a big crack down the middle which was full of dust and pieces of food and trash. We did not notice the condition of the tables until after we ordered and paid. The walls and window sills were covered with a local scentsy seller's product and photos making it feel like a nicknack shop. The food took over half an hour and we watched at least 3 groups come in and leave without ordering. The garlic bread was palatable with the marinara but the loaded tots and mac, recommended as the most popular, was overpowered with just cheese making it bland. It also came with the black olives we asked to be withheld. The appetizer came with the smallest paper plates I've ever seen and the silverware were hardly more than flat cutouts of sheet metal. One worker was friendly but kept pulling his pants up with his gloved hand and the other didn't say a word and literally had a shirt on that said "HEATHEN". We were on the verge of walking out without eating, if it weren't that we had already paid and were visiting from out of town so we didn't know of a quick and easy alternative. I will not be eating here again.

Expensive for the quantity. Especially $10 for a small quantity of kids mac. Taste is ok. Chicken is too dry and chewy. Got heart burn. Not worth the price.
