Stopped by here for lunch recently and was absolutely delicious!! I got the tostones and my husband got his entree with eggs and pulled beef.
Quick service, good food, and good drinks! We will definitely be back!

Thank you for trying us out and for your review.


I thought this place was good food.
It was empty when I got there but I know this place pops when it’s the weekend.
Reason for a 4 star is because of location and cleanliness, also there were 3 things I tried to order and neither of them were on the menu.

Kevin, We appreciate your feedback and would like to know what you ordered? We strive to maintain and keep all our menu items available to our customers.
We would like to have more details so that we can promptly address the issue and we hope that you come back so we can take care of you properly this time around.


Too many drunk older people.
They have an entrance fee ranching from $10-20 per person.

On Friday’s and Saturday’s we have live entertainment.
We have fundraisers on Fridays for many causes that directly affects our community, and the entrance fee is essentially a donation as 100% of it goes directly the cause.
Our patrons are blue collars, they work hard during the week, and they party hard on the weekends, can say I blame them.
Our spot has a long standing reputation of being a safe place for everyone to eat, dance and just have fun with friends and family.
We are a casual family restaurant with live entertainment.
I hope this explains the ambiance and hope you can join us again soon.
Thank you for your review.
