Visiting from Va, so it was my first visit. The restaurant was clean, and the young man working on 10/3/25 was friendly. I only got a chicken sandwich but it was good and flavorful.

Friendly service. Food was awesome. We both got the buffalo chicken sandwich but I doubt you can go wrong with any of the sandwiches. Great place for a quick meal!
