New owners bring a friendly homey vibe. The waitress couldn't be nicer an the food came out quickly and above par. I'd suggest the pizza burger deluxe.

I visited this restaurant on Monday and had a wonderful experience. The food was good, but what really stood out was the exceptional service.

I absolutely loved the place and will definitely be coming back.
