    Wonderful food! Great experience. Mady is just the person you want working when you go! She was extremely nice and was so helpful with my 2 kids when they wanted a tootsie roll or needed help getting a box. She offered my kids some crayon and paper before I even asked and she even grabbed me a high chair before I could go find one. She brought our food out with the biggest smile on her face she’s definitely the reason I’m coming back!

    Great food, great prices and great staff. I do wish the portions were bigger. $17 should warrant more than two little scoops of meat.
