“A little whole in the wall the but food was really good.
I went through the drive through, their speaker system did not work. There's a sign that says order at the window. There were several cars in line and it took a while to get to the window. A sign at the 1st window has a phone number for you to call to place the order so the wait won't be as long. By the time I got to the window, someone came outside to take the orders. Once the orders were placed, we were able to get our food pretty quick. The lady at the window was very nice.“

“Went for my birthday Tuesday night, was disappointed that they had no bread, one of my favorite things. No sign when we went in, but one was up when I left.“

“Throughly enjoyed my ribeye except what kind of meat was it. Some of it was tough. The garlic butter didn't melt. And being here the second time. Bake potato was cold wouldn't even melt the cheese and not cooked through. Plus my husband asked for the same batter that they used on the shrimp for the fish. Absolutely 💯 perfect . The restaurant need to add it to the menu for fish and Chip with malt vinegar. He comes from England. More business for you“
