this place is expensive for the little bit of food you get. the mac n cheese is so small and tastes like the cup they put it in and just isn’t very seasoned and the french fries portion is insanely small oh my goodness i payed $4 for the smallest fries ever. the grilled cheese was good but definitely not worth the price. $14 just for a grilled cheese is crazy. overall its ok.

Small portions but u come here for the unique flavor! I was very impressed. I highky recommend trying the gobbler. Bring your date here if u want to show her u know good food at girl portions 😆. On a side note the cell phone network sucks so it's the perfect place to go on a date if u do not want interruptions

Returned to this place after a few years on their 10th anniversay & it did not disappoint! They've moved into a bigger space, but Gayle herself is still there greeting customers & taking orders! The cheese pull is still the best; I got the Classic this time, but my all-time favorite is the Southport. Price is on the higher end, but the quality & locally-sourced ingredients are worth it. Will be back more often for lunch during the work week!
