Our first time and definitely not our last! Greeted by Ray as soon as we walked in. He waited on us and kept the food coming. Even Ms Irma checked on us. We tried a little bit of everything and the food is just amazing!!! Bonus was parking our car there for Astros game. We will be back!!
Food was pretty delicious and cleary fresh. I think its a bit expensive for what it is but I really enjoyed everything
Truly the best there is!! Amazing food and ever better people. Do yourself a favor and try it. Let’s say you have ‘friends’ that don’t trust you, prove them wrong!! Friends trust friends
