    Food was absolutely amazing! Had 3 different appetizers because they all looked great and we couldn’t decide! Burger was cooked perfectly and the dirty fries are a good change of pace. They are definitely heavy on the spice blend though so just be aware. Service was good and food was quick. Will definitely be back again!
