“Our first time & we were happy with it! The only thing I’ll say is… We about didn’t even go. Everywhere you look there’s mixed information about them being in business versus closed permanently. My Apple Maps & Yelp both said permanently closed. A quick google said open with hours being updated 2 months ago. Almost everything else pointed to them being out of business… The FB page doesn’t have any recent activity. There’s no reviews from this year. It’s easy to assume that maybe they closed their doors for good sometime between last summer to fall. Just saying, because I’m sure we can’t be the only ones that have (almost) skipped out on this place due to the above. Glad we didn’t! The outdoor setting in Jackson Square is cute & the kid loved the pigsss… getting ice cream is always a fun little activity. I’m sure we’ll return. Onlookers… THEY ARE OPEN! ♥️“

Many thanks to you all!!✔️?♥️?Wheelchair accessibility: Very accommodating, in every way...seating, (in or outside) great parking, right up front✔️♥️“

“Good food, decent pricing, great staff. Just like everywhere else in today’s economy, pricing may be too high for the food that you receive. It’s not bad, and nothing that they can control, I just think all restaurants are priced a little higher than they need to be. I still go here quite often, so it doesn’t keep me from going.“
