My family and I came to eat here from out of town to enjoy a meal and this place is terrible to come eat at. Food is high priced , they charge you high gratuity even if it’s just 1 adult. We were 2 adults and 4 kids . I only ordered 3 meals for the kids since my daughter wasn’t so hungry . (I had bought a kids meal from what’a burger for her) I was told this would be the last time I bring food from the outside, which I get it , but I felt it should have been more discreet and not loud in front of everyone including my children. My daughter did not end up eating because she felt like she got us in trouble in some way. Personally this is my first and last time I ever come here.

-Parking is unsafe here
-people are rude
-food was okay but not good enough to be around 25$ a meal not including drink
-they only offer 1 kids plate , if your child wants anything else they will charge you an adult meal
-they claim gratuity has to be 15% you don’t have a choice, you have to pay
-they charge for to go boxes
- Men’s restroom is dirty and lights are low
-Women’s restroom have one out of order

I would keep tying and post everything else I notice badly but I really just wanted to leave this place asap.

Poor customer service, made my niece uncomfortable to eat her food and considered my son’s adults. On top of that automatic charged a 15% tip and did not let me remove it from my tab or lower the percentage. They even charge you for to go plates when my children obviously don’t finish their food. Do not recommend and food was not all that great. Shrimp caldo only had 5 shrimps.

I walked in, no one greeted me, all 3 female staff were on their phones. After a minute of looking back and forth between us I ordered without being asked if I wanted to dine in or do take out because they decided to continue being on their phones. When I was done ordering was when they actually started to get on the register to charge me, mind you my order was plain and simple not complicated or a variety of different items on the menu. I paid then waited, while I waited I was given my drink. I waited some more and then out of no where one of the female staff screams and starts laughing saying oh that cockroach scared you. I looked at her surprised and shocked, we made eye contact and she looked embarrassed that she said it out loud then she scurried to the kitchen where the other person had scream too and I was left there waiting while the other female staff continued being on their phones. From beginning to end I received nasty looks, bad service, and to top it off my order usually comes with chips and salsa this time they excluded it and didn’t bother telling me why. A gentleman is usually that helps us but when the females help it’s a very icky service and now sounds like the food is matching their behavior.

Wheelchair accessibility: Look somewhere else to eat because it has a tiny door, small walkways and bathroom isn’t accessible
