My whole family came in for dinner December 23 and a lot of others had the same idea- it was super busy and they seemed short staffed, but that didn’t stop the team from being extremely pleasant and kind. Excellent service, great food.
Vegetarian options: 3 vegetarian tacos, the Nashville tofu is the best!
