    Our world needs more empathy and great food. Gotta have faith in a good restaurant Also, when I couldn't walk or talk for a year they never had a problem getting in and out with their ramp with sturdy handrails. They even learned a little sign language so I could communicate on my own. They are so kind and patient. My Mom and I will always go there. Just wish they were open a little later.

    This place is vibrant! Wednesday at noon and nearly every table and booth is full already. Even the counter area has numerous occupants. Retirees, construction workers, groups of friends, families, all represented. I think most diners, by nature or design, are a bit noisy. The open kitchen certainly adds to that volume. All the conversations, the servers hustling back and forth, this is a hive of activity and the ambient noise level is commensurate with it. The hostess was very friendly, polite, helping bus tables and smiling every time I saw her. The servers were flying, purposeful, easy to talk to despite all the customers around. They all got the tables cleaned and ready for the next guest at an amazing pace. These are dedicated professionals, not summer break workers. The menu is really big and there is a list of daily specials as well. I couldn't memorize that if I had to. Got a gyro with fries. When it arrived, my first thought was, "That's a lot of food." The fries were thick, hot and unsalted (who needs high blood pressure?). The gyro was big, stuffed with meat & veggies almost to overflowing, well, and thankfully, restrained with aluminum foil. Both were delicious. All that for under $12, tax included. I'd definitely entertain return trips based on this experience.

    Amazing service. Was seated right away and we got our drinks within a minute of sitting down. We had 3+ servers checking up on us periodically. My boyfriend and I both ordered soup and we both finished with time before we got our food out, and that never happens! The food was very hot. My boyfriend got the and he said it was amazing. They kept our drinks full also. Every server that we encountered was very friendly and was not hesitant to help with with anything! Amazing service and food, will definitely be back again soon to try more amazing food!

    I had lunch here with my family and can’t day better things about this place! A great and classic American dinner, with delicious food and outstanding service. Place was super easy to find and park. There was no wait and the venue was clean. Price was right for all 3, main course, desert and beverages. Thus, I recommend this place. Kudos to management and team!
