    I made a special request and it didn't even raise an eyebrow for the server. Well done and thank you.

    Huge improvement across the board. Not an empty table and orders for pick up were brisk. The chili was delicious. The only thing that would improve it would be a side of corn bread. Very large burger was excellent. Nice crispy fries. Server was skilled at optimizing her trips to her many tables. Pleasant but not intrusive. Knew the menu too. Time will tell if this will stick.
