Enjoyed a flavorful dinner. The lasagna was fresh and hearty. We were celebrating a birthday and the hostesses made a card for the birthday girl. Such a nice touch to the evening.

It was our first time there, and had a wonderful dinner. Greeted with a warm smile at the host stand, got seated in a comfy booth, and that started everything off for our small family get together. The server was very friendly, again can't say enough about genuine smiles, she was wonderful. The food was super delicious!!! The mushroom soup was off the charts, you can feel the love in that recipe. The burger was outstanding, the flavor was mouth watering and craveable. Highly recommend the salted caramel ice cream, and the decadent warm chocolate cake. You can tell that the owners strive to make guests have a memorable experience with excellent hospitality, amazing flavors, and attention to detail. We will going back again and again 😋
