One of the best restaurants I've been to this year!!! I'm sad I don't live here so I could frequent this spot. ”
“ Our waitress Hanna was very attentive and friendly. Our food was ready quickly and tasted delicious. We ordered 2 salads, Greek grilled chicken & Grilled chicken salad, a burger, and country fried steak. Prices were very reasonable and the place wasn't overly crowded. ”
“ We went on Sunday morning for breakfast, and it was hard to find parking. My other friends ended up using the parking lot of the other building beside it. I had to circle multiple times to wait for others to leave. We had to wait for 10 to 15 minutes. There wasn't really a waiting area. The waiting area was upfront with chairs. You give your name, and then they call it when you are ready to be sat down. The place was super busy. The server was very friendly and interactive. The food arrived fast and fresh. The staff did a great job cleaning as soon as there was an empty plate or glass. Mimosas were amazing, especially when they used freshly squeezed orange juice. ”
“ Such a cozy and welcoming diner! The food is delicious, portions are generous, and prices are fair. The staff is friendly and makes you feel right at home. Whether you're stopping in for breakfast or lunch, it's always a great experience! ”
“ The food was very reasonably priced with generous portions and great service. They also had a wonderful selection. We had a lunch special, parmesan tilapia, liver and onions and pecan pie. It was all great. The plate of liver and sauteed onions was a full plate, a large serving. And it was very good. I forgot to take a photo because I was eating it. LOL ”
