What our guests are saying

Great food! Fast service and very clean environment! Run don’t walk to get your next meal! Family friendly restaurants and wallet friendly

I’ve seen plenty of owners come and go but this is by far one of the best turnarounds I have experienced. Atmosphere and sanitation is the main reason. AND they finally take Apple Pay! I lived in the area for a decade and a half and it’s definitely worth the improvement.

Kalene M.

They are finally under new ownership and management. Walked into that restaurant completely new look and remodel. food is most definitely hitting the spot. Must try. Will definitely be back. Customer service was A1. Amazing found my new go to spot.

Kevin T.

Customer service on point. You won’t have a problem at this location they’re patient and kind. Their lemonade is almost like an Italian ice. Big upgrade from the lemonade before. Try them out! I’ve been here a handful of times since new management took over.
