Had the crispy gym shoe. It came in a 9 x13 pan laid out on a diagonal! It was enough for 4 people and absolutely delicious! The service was polite and fast. The store is clean and there is dine in seating, although it's basic. If your going for fresh, tasty food, this is an excellent choice.

Had a great experience here! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was really welcoming. Everything came out quickly and was well presented. Evelyn at the register was especially polite and helpful, which made the experience even better. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to others.

Food and customer service were great! The staff were super accommodating and kind. I had the Philly Steak sandwich with a side of fries. The Philly was packed with steak and toppings. Super affordable and delicious!
