I was expecting to wait awhile to be seated and for our food to come out as the sign stated they were short staffed but I was amazed at how quick service was! The food was amazing and I can't wait to come back!

I took my wife there for date night and we had an amazing experience. Not only was the service fast, but the food was great and they got everything cooked perfectly. The waitress was very accommodating and we never had to try to get her attention for refills either. She came by often and elevated the whole experience. The busser we conversed with was also very helpful and friendly. Definitely deserving of a 5 star rating.

I have absolutely no choice, but, to go as high of a ranking as possible. I absolutely love this place. The staff was wonderful. I enjoy people that can smile and enjoy what they do. The place is clean, and the decor is so comfortable. The food that I chose was perfect. From the guacamole, to the pizza. It is the best guacamole I have had other that my dads homemade. I had never ordered a pizza at a restaurant of this style, but, omg it was awesome. Last , but, not least. Very affordable, great food and nice portion size. We will definitely be back.
