Stopped in here today for a late lunch with one of my Supt's. The food was excellent. Our waitress was on point and joked back and forth with us. Big plus for me because I like going that. Great place to stop, grab a bite to eat and unwind!!

This place is so good that after I tried it on Monday I decided to eat there every day I was in town for this contract. That means I ate there all five days this week.
