"We tried this place out for the first time. I wasn’t busy, and the staff provided super friendly service. We took him up on his recommendations and really enjoyed the unique rice/chicken balls, chicken cheesesteak sandwich and cheeseburger. We enjoyed a piece of their pound cake the next day because we were too full to it that night. The decor is awesome and not like you’ll find anywhere else. It’s a little hard to get to since the Bush river exit closed, but worth the trip to try something different."

"I had the burger and it was cooked to perfection. The beef was not a frozen patty. The server was pleasant and responsive. This is my new place to eat when I am in town. Execellent service, food and atmosphere. Definitely recommend!!!"

"I recently stopped by here to eat after seeing so many good reviews on TikTok. The front staff was super helpful when recommending menu items. My choice was the Metro Chopped Cheese Salmon (lettuce, tomato & onions added) with a side salad. Food 100/10. All the flavors combined was literally chefs kiss. To top off the experience, IM TELLING & NOT ASKING, grab a slice of red velvet cake on the way out! You won’t be disappointed."

"First time in the restaurant. We were greeted very nice. Ordered the lemon pepper wings and tried the lime pepper wings which were very well seasoned hot and good. Mango pepper will be on my list . To drink I ask for the Kool aid RED of course. Over all we will be back and try the breakfast items next time. A good place to bring family and friends . A good brunch spot for my girls."

"Called in a order for lunch at this establishment for the first time. I ordered the Double Pressed Burger with Cheese, along with six Hot Honey Wings, along with a Grape Kool-Aid. Loved the flavor of the wings, they were delicious. The burger was amazing! That grape kool aid took me back to my childhood days! Will definitely have to go back to try more of their menu options. The service and atmosphere was good."
