Better than I expected from the menu. Food came out very quickly and the staff was very friendly. Highly recommend getting the “junior breakfast.” I am a big eater and I barely finished mine. Great portions. Definitely will return. Dine in: Yes Takeout: Yes … More

The place is always crowded and it reminds me of a beach place that is built for crowds. I feel as if the staff are missing something… they aren’t outgoing friendly and welcoming.
