Stopped in after work today because I heard about their loaded potato and it was definitely well worth it. I’m full and still have half a potato left. The coleslaw is top notch and Mac and cheese is great too. Best Baked Potato in town if you ask me!!

Great food, fresh made, with large portions at a very reasonable price. Service was excellent and the restaurant is clean. My first time in, and I'll be back.

This place was excellent! The food was delicious. I had the Grilled brisket sandwich with two sides (corn on the cob and green beans) everything was seasoned wonderfully. My wife had the loaded nachos with shredded chicken. It was spicier than she expected, but it was flavorful and delicious! The atmosphere was excellent. The service was spectacular!

Some of the best food I've ever eaten, and my dad agrees, he's picky but loved it.
