“Took my father out for breakfast this morning and had the nicest server. She was super friendly and had a great recommendation on what to get. I had the breakfast burger and dad had the biscuit stack. The food was great and very generous portions. When we left, Dad forgot his cell phone on the table. We only knew that because our server came running out of the door as we got to our vehicle. Unfortunately, I didn't remember her name but we are very thankful and will definitely be back.“

“I’m originally from Cleveland and had a local Chinese restaurant I’d been loyal to for years. When it closed, I was honestly heartbroken and didn’t think I’d find anything that compared. I decided to give this place a try, and I’m so glad I did. The sweet and sour chicken was even better than my old favorite back home. The hot and sour soup was a little different from what I’m used to, but I loved the spice level and the generous amount of mushrooms. I’ll definitely be coming back, this spot might just become my new go-to!“
