“ Food is very good, daily food and drink specials… AND best part: they are pet friendly. So great on a 100+ degree day. We can have our guy with us and not bake on a patio!! ”
“ Awsome little hole in the wall place. Adriana will be servicing you with a beautiful smile and superb service. She is awesome and makes your visit worthwhile. The food is as good, great taquitos, and burgers. All with your favorite drinks. Can't go wrong, giving a try..! ”
“ Great neighborhood bar. Plenty of parking in both front and some in the back. Extensive menu with good bites. Service was on point. Place was pretty clean and had dj on some evenings. Main bar is big and has another bar in a place just as big which is called the play room. Pool tables, darts machines, basketball hop machine too. Walk thru from one to the other inside with a BIG outdoor covered connecting patio. Daily specials on food and drinks so be sure to ask. Staff was awesome. ”
“ Huge portions of food. Sometimes enough for 4-5 people. A few vegetarian options are available. I recommend the Vegetable Curry with Chapati. ”
“ Overall this a great little place to grab a bite to eat. Very nice people behind the counter making your food. Prices are a little on the high side. That is understandable in this day and age. Air-conditioning is what this nice little restaurant needs. Sweating while trying to eat is never fun. I believe that if this little restaurant installed a new air-conditioning unit even more people would come to enjoy this delicious food. ”
