It was fast. Not busy today and food was freshly cooked! Breading on the dropped was light, not like other places where's its breaded 3-4 times. Double meat burger was huge. Definitely go back again.

First time here, food service and cleanliness were all on par. Leah was a very wonderful server, attentive and sweet! Will be back again and again. The food was sooooo good. Thankful for Leah for her kindness, attentiveness and patience.
