The food is amazing (huge portions and great price), our waitress was the sweetest (helpful and attentive )and the desserts off the charts. - The carrot cake and chocolate mousse cake were next level. Not sickening sweet but refined and house made.

For patty melts, fries, pickle and Cole slaw, soup and dessert for two = under $60!
