I was in the restaurant when this last person rudely got up and left. The waitress was very respectful and did nothing wrong. The food is great and service terrific. I don’t know what these people had a problem with but maybe they came in with an attitude! Never have I had any issue with this restaurant! Best place for food and price!

Oh my goodness!! We had the most amazing experience!! Our check for our family of 4 was only $61!! They serve breakfast all day on Saturdays and Sundays. We all decided to have breakfast for lunch and they did not disappoint!! The service was great and the food was super fresh!! The portions that you get are well worth the money that you spend. We would have taken some of the food to go if we hadn't already had plans to take our kids to fearless after this outing. I highly...
