    We can't say enough about the Manager at this location and their very special employee, Cindy! They both make it feel like home when you enter! They recognize you and just treat you like family! What a super pleasant way to spend lunch! There's no other place like this..... kudos to Cindy, so pleasant and so hard-working. Thanks for always making our visits so enjoyable!
