"My first time in and definitely not my last! Chicken breast in garlic sauce was incredible. Pull apart with a fork, tender and so much flavor! Great prices and super friendly staff."

"The man behind the counter took time to tell us all about their menu — such sweet people. The food overall was amazing and reasonably priced. We got 7 items with two drinks for about $21."
