Went here on a quiet Monday evening. The food was excellent. Service was ok. They just serve you and don’t really check back if you need anything else. It is a nice spacious place with sports memorabilia on the walls.

Ordered a single steak and egg breakfast taco online for pickup. The taco was $8.40 before tax and tip. While the tortilla was fresh and the ingredients tasted good, the value just isn’t there. The size of the taco didn’t justify the price—I could have easily eaten two, maybe three, and the cost for that would be crazy. There are plenty of places in the area where you can get one large burrito or two breakfast tacos for the same price.
