We were in town from Illinois for a wedding. Had a little down time in between pictures and the actual wedding needed some drinks. We stopped in had a great time and came back an hour later for dinner. Next time I'm in town I will definitely come back

Everytime I come here the food is always cooked just right. I've never had undercooked food here. The prices are great! 10/10 would recommend! Best place to order chicken strips.
