Customer Reviews

"Super bien "

- Geobanni M.

"Good, friendly, knowledgeable waitstaff ready to serve! The Ruben we had was superb; lots of corned beef and perfectly sour sauerkraut. The Monte Cristo was very good and the fries were excellent. It's the first time we've eaten here, but we're so glad we did!"

"My wife took me there on father's day. It was very busy. We were seated promptly, the service and the food was great. We will definitely eat there again."

"Went here while passing through with my mom and it wasn't the greatest. Our waitress was great for the most part but they need to put descriptions on their menu. My mother order a sandwich that she gets other places and what came out was not that! She tried it but its was horrible. So she didnt eat at all and still had to pay for it. Its all about customer service and they didnt offer anything to fix it. Not even to order anything else. Im just glad it was cheap. I dont think we'd ever try it again honestly. Definitely not a great experience."

- Ariel R.

"Don't let the outside of the building fool you, this place has great food at a great price. I had a Thursday special, the chicken fried steak. It came with a veggie of the day mashed potatoes cup of the soup of the day, 2 rolls and a dessert for under $12 and it was all delicious! The service was exceptional and everyone was super friendly! I will definitely be back if in the area again."

- Crystal M.

"I travel a lot and this place hit the spot. For supper, they offered all day breakfast, so, of course, breakfast for supper. Served fast, and with a smile, and tasted great. I will definitely stop in again if I ever make it back to this area."

- Josh S.

"Great food at reasonable and fare prices. Second trip, very consistent portions. Kids love it. Wife liked her meal also. Service was a little slow but it was the busiest time of the day ;) Don't believe some of the reviews and complaints on TripAdvisor."
