    Get the eggs Benedict. You won't be sorry. Our waitress was so friendly (Sammy) but she had to do the cooking too!! I hope they pay her well.

    This place is really good. It gives Cracker Barrel vibes. I got a huge portion of sirloin tips that were delicious. The staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly.

    Friday night they have unlimited cod, the husband loves it! Before you've run out they bring you more. Great place for a family outing.

    Service here can be hit or miss depending on the server. Some servers are excellent but several are very mediocre.
