Customer Reviews

"Food was great! Very friendly staff. They have a great health score also...yeah I always check restaurants for this. Lol"

- Donna S.

"The staff is always nice and the service is very quick. The food is always reliable. I wish there was a bit more flavor/spice to the food (the only reason I didn't give a 4 star and I understand they can't please everyone, including myself). They give good portion sizes. I don't get by here as often as I'd like because they close for a couple hours during the week and that's usually the time I'm hungry. Hahaha but definitely try this place!"

- Angela O.
