My friend and I were visiting the area from Detroit and found this place for lunch. The BEST food. The owner and staff were friendly and helpful with recommendations about the area. The restaurant itself was very clean and very aesthetically pleasing. I would highly recommend to anybody that wants a full belly and heart!
Just got a chicken and steak alfredo and it was an awesome experience, the right amount of sauce and meat to pasta, the right amount of spices with a kick of Cajun. Chefs kiss, I will be coming back?😊😊😊
Visiting from detriot came across this place on restaurants near me on GPS. And im happy we did. Food was 🔥 ribs are amazing and so was the fried rice. And don't forget the strawberry banana pudding! We will return next vacation 😎
