The low ratings from others are personal. This place is good.
Family of four, had quinoa salad, brisket sandwich, ribeye steak and Mac & cheese.
All were on point. Flavor was on point. Waiters act like it's a 5 star but the food is delicious hometown diner.
The food and feel are great. Would recommend.
