    The service here is amazing and the food is consistently good. Elizabeth the manager makes this place the best experience imaginable. She always (and I’m not exaggerating) has a smile and a positive attitude. I always observe her treating each customer with the same respect and attention and she is making sure everything is up to the standards it should be. The food is always very good for the price and my go to is a loaded baked potato. Highly recommend checking this place out

    elizabeth was super also, I was waiting for a three Uber Eats orders and the time that I was standing their waiting and seen her run around doing multiple multiple jobs and not once from work, complaining and greeted customers with a warm welcome and also help me as well. I asked her was she a manager and she said she was one of the manager, so yes, I could see it and pick a great person to be a manager.
