Food was absolutely terrible first time going there and I won't be back! Plus the manager was rude.

Sadly, The Food Is Not Worth The Money. I Was Expecting So Much More...Always Wanted To Try This Place But It’s Overpriced And The Food Isn’t Spectacular. You Get So Many Fries But The Burgers Are Skimpy! However, Larry Was Awesome! He Is The First Person You See Walking In And He Was Very Kind And Helpful. Restaurant Could Use Some Cleaning. Everything On Out Table Was Dusty Or Sticky.
