Great food! Very good burger
Feels like homey
Came in with my kids for my sons 17th birthday for lunch the place was full there was one table open but was dirty so I walked back to the host stand to wait for someone to greet us as it felt the entire restaurant including the staff was just staring at us like we were stupid without saying a word so then we were getting ready to walk out and as another couple came in they were greeted right away. My children are Black teenagers and we all felt very racist vibes from the interaction wil never go again.
