Went on a little hotrod cruise and stopped here for lunch. Good food, good service,and pleasant atmosphere. We read some negative reviews. Didn't experience anything bad. But haters gonna hate and trolls gonna troll. Some people are never happy or understanding. I say 5 stars. Give them a try.

Well done! Great atmosphere, food and people. They served two large groups about 30 people each and about 10 tables of 2 to 6 people each all evening. Everything went smoothly and no one waited for food or drinks. And all seemed to be having a good time.
