The food was okay, not like it used to be. Our server didnt smile, didnt joke, and I felt was kinda cranky when I asked a question about the food. I was disappointed, but wont let this one day keep me away.
The garlic toast was the best though!
October 2025
The food was not great. The meat was too fatty. The coleslaw was too soupy. However, the sauces were good. The service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive and they seemed to take gluten restrictions very seriously. They had a seperate menu and said they would change their gloves. They were upfront about using a shared fryer so clearly aware of cross contamination. Still, we probably won't go back because of the disappointing food.

Great food, great service. The budget buster meals are great for the price, and the sandwiches are good too. The server was helpful, kind, and quick. The atmosphere was clean and had some nice decor. Would recommend!
