While many embrace the atmosphere, a few customers have felt the compact space limits seating, making it challenging to find room during lunch rushes. A small number of patrons have expressed concern about occasional inconsistency in order accuracy, though the staff promptly addresses any issues that arise.

We went on a Saturday at about noon, it was delicious. We all ordered different things and each thing was great. The customer service was also great, the employees were nice and the service was fast. I’d def eat here again if I pass through. The restaurant was also nice and clean, and no one else was really there so we just sat and ate right there instead of in the car. Thanks for a great experience.
