Guestbook
“ Food was excellent and fresh. They make their salsa fresh in house and portions were large. Service was great and super accommodating to my soy allergy. Tables and chairs were fairly new and appeared clean, but the place could use a little cleaning. The door to the bathroom was disgusting. That's my only negative. Everything else was really great. ”
“ The burrito was gigantic and I was able to share with my wife. The flavor was awesome. I would stop here again when driving on my way to Phoenix. ”
“ I love locally own restaurant. I had the french toast with a side of bacon. It was very tasty and the portion size was spot on for me. Sat at the counter and had excellent service. Avoid chains and eat here. ”
“ Me and my boyfriend got two full platters of biscuits and gravy food was great. However our server the guy right off the bat said he didn't know his job nor the computers and was very lost also had a few rude jokes and never refilled our drinks at one point he came to check on us and was chewing food and had crumbs all over his face said he had stolen a chicken strip so... They might wanna rethink the new guy. The girl ended up helping us the most she even got us boxes to go and answered some questions we had. These plate are 7.99 each well worth the money and great portions can't go wrong with this if you love biscuits and gravy. ”
