I really enjoyed sitting outside. Very peaceful. Friendly genuine service. Loved the chili Colorado and the happy plants outside.

Stopped by this place while driving through the are. Relied on other Google reviews and decided to try. Very pleased with everything. Wish I could dine in but due to COVID situation had to eat in the car. The place looked nice, staff are very courteous, the food was really good. It felt like a real family-run restaurant. Definitely one of those I sincerely wish a great success.

My parents have come here for years and love it! My dad had surgery recently so I’ve been in town for a while and when we left the hospital Tuesday Mom and I stopped here for pick up. Service was incredible and the food was great! The place was really cute too (inside and patio seating) so I hope next time we can eat there!
