Customer Reviews

We stopped in during an across-state road trip and the food was very good! We ordered the Reuben, Cajun Pasta, Brisket Mac n' Cheese Wrap, & Southwest Burger. The service was good as well. It's very spacious and seems like a great reliable place to grab some dinner.

The only problem was ordering the 10 piece fried shrimp platter at the drive-through & finding 5 pieces after getting home (they probably only charged for 5, hubby didn't check the receipt, but will double check the order next time). Love that shrimp ! For only a few bucks more the 5 piece doesn't make sense.pp

It's not fancy fine dining, but it is just fine to dine in. The food was fantastic and the service was super! I'm confident that you will find your favorite. Note that the half order of nachos will feed 3 or 4 people and they are fantastic
