Our server was wonderful and was quick with everything we ordered. Timely and with a great demeanor. The restaurant itself is simply a great experience and lived up to it, as it has every time we’ve gone. Could not recommend it more highly.

Our server, forget her name was very pleasant and accommodating. The burgers were delicious and the special sauce was chart topping. I usually do not frequent your establishment due to the long lines outside the restaurant. Made a reservation today though. Will be back soon! Merry Christmas!
