    Excellent food, friendly staff, smaller space but did’t feel crowded. Photo machine not working was kinda a bummer as I picked the place for the fun/photos. Thought there would be more to look at/ambiance. Street parking can be a challenge. Food was yummy!

    The chef came by our table and explained some of the menu offerings. He also shared a sample of his bacon ham, which is simply delicious. He prepares it fresh and it is the perfect topping for the burger and grilled cheese. The Tetris shaped tater tots are so fun for kids, and for adults too! Great service and ambiance!

    They’re trying way too hard here. You have to order through a QR code app or up at the counter when you first walk in.  Then they have a little buttons you have to push to even have the server come over to the table.  No salt , no pepper & I had to pay for ketchup. Great food, but absolutely nothing else about this place was good.

    The food here is overrated in my opinion but the portions are big so you get your moneys worth. Very pretty on the inside and the staff was very friendly and accommodating!

    The bacon was great! I’m not sure I fully understand the service and ordering system but I’d go back…

    This place is not worth the money at all. It’s over priced and the food is trash. You serve yourself too and there’s no way to refund you because you pay before you even get the food. Never ever going back.
