Love this location! The food is always great, the staff is always kind and accommodating.
We eat here all the time! My kids are picky eaters and this is one of the only restaurants everyone can get something they like!
I wanted to give a shoutout to the manager Omar who is very kind. I also had a very sweet encounter with Kira when recently picking up my takeout order. Thank you!!

From ordering my food to getting dessert everything was on point! The gentleman upfront was super helpful and humorous. Mackenzie our server was super sweet and kept us posted at all times, considering there was multiple big tables, there was a bit of a wait for our food. Still she kept us smiling and made the experience more enjoyable.
