We had lunch @ 1 pm on a Monday - so it was on the quieter side. We ordered the Fried Chicken Biscuit and the Chicken & Feta sandwich. The food and the drinks were so delicious we forgot to take photos to share. We really appreciated the very friendly greeting and super helpful service with wonderful recommendations. The cheerful staff made us feel welcome - would definitely dine here again! Nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating.
