We have dined here for years. But recently the long time female, possible owner seemed bothered by us during our order. She hasn’t always been the friendliest in the past years, but after this visit, it will be my last. With the cost of inflation I will share my money where I feel it’s welcomed with better customer service.

Ordered hot wings from here last night and it was my first time trying this establishment. The wings were super fresh, crispy and the sauce was incredible! The price is also great. I will definitely order from here again. I woke up thinking about ordering more!

I moved to McMinnville Tennessee 2 1/2 years ago and let me tell you this place is the closest place that I found that they have pizza that taste just like Philly pizza really good pizza and to boot buy one get one free come on. I’m walking out with two pizzas for less than $18. I’m surprised this place isn’t packed around the corner and I just found out that they have a drive-through window place your order and drive through the window, and get it, , I know it’s not...
