Ordered for takeout. We had veal piccata with angel hair pasta and eggplant parmigiana with linguine. It was absolutely delicious!!!! Talk about getting your moneys worth. Charley must have said 5 times how delicious his veal piccata was, plus we both have an entire meal left over. Hugh portions!!! Nice and professional folks behind the counter also.

Great night of karaoke. First time here. They had a full in DJ. Shawn was great. The food was awesome. The service was great. I highly recommend going here. I love Central Pa and travel different karaoke venues. It took 90 minutes to get there. I would definitely come back again.
