Wow. Honestly, no one recommended it. I came guided by Google reviews and I was not mistaken, we were at a nearby zoo and we were looking for somewhere to eat and the service and food were the best option. Casamigos margaritas are the best I have ever had. I don't live nearby but I would return.
Kid-friendliness: The kids menu is good too.

Working in the area and we've ordered lunch a couple of times from this place, the food is very good but they don't make your sandwich the way you asked and they only put one slice of cheese on the subs. Other than that I would eat here again

Parking: It's a small strip-mall parking lot, and it seems to get crowded. We walked from our hotel.
