    The private event catering is some of the best I’ve ever had. It was easy to see that it was indeed homemade and not just the same appetizers and snacks that are available at Costco or sams

    This is a fine place to get a satisfying meal. It is cafeteria style, and the offerings change from day to day. The employees are friendly, and they do a good job of moving people through the line seating can be an issue during the busiest times. Parking is available in garages around downtown. Egress is well thought out.
