    They have different specials everyday.. The breaded pork tenderloin horseshoe that I had was huge, but the cheese sauce was a little thin and I had to ask for more.

    Choose this place over other fast food chains if you are in the neighborhood! You will NOT regret it. More to the point: you will have the best taste-bud express of your life- and I cook well, and still- my compliments and huge thanks to the owners and service stuff at the kitchen! Thank you so much! Everything was so delicious! Dropped by to get gluten free pizza- and got it! We also bought not gluten free pizza, French fries, coffee and wrap. Would love to post photos of the meals but everything was so extremely tasty that .. you know this is the kind of meal when you want to take a picture but the smell and taste bewitches you.. so no photos, unfortunately:) The place is in a farmer’s neighborhood and the service is excellent and again: the taste and the amount of food you get for your money is breathtaking! Anyone drives in the neighborhood- visit the place. Give it a chance. You’ll see a cosy little humble building when you arrive in front of it- nothing like other nice big fast food chains. But the food is so delicious and healthy… that you will not regret it. Do not judge a book by its cover. If you wanna eat really good food- try it. Plus they have weekly menu as well- as you can see it in the picture I posted. I saved the place for future visits. Thank you again. Regards, Elisabeth & Alex

    Amazing find! Outdoor volleyball court, 2 garage door beer garden, great food and service. Little out of the way but a great place to catch a game. Lexie was awesome she was quick to answer any questions on the menu as well as integrating us into the local bar scene. So cute. We'll be back for sure.

    My wife and I had the BPT. It was seasoned well, and large. We most definitely will be back. I would also like to the waitress for her outstanding service to us. AW

    I have just found this little diamond, and have to have the Italian beef every time. And the wonderful waitress knows it. She even knows I drink coke and she always gets me one to go after we eat . They also have gamin and a volleyball court , and darts and a really cool patio.

    Food is always delicious. We actually love everything we have tried there. It's all good. You can't pick a bad menu item because they are all great. Service is friendly, fast and the atmosphere is fun and inviting. Always welcomed by the staff. Games for the kiddos and adults. Also volleyball court out back. Almost forgot...the pizza is fantastic!!

    We've had the yummy pizza many times and the burgers are delish! But hold on to your hat if you order a pork tenderloin. It's huge!! I like getting cheese sauce to dip it in too. Yummm!
