What an absolute treasure. The staff was very friendly and actually engaged in conversation, making the experience of dining in more personal. Don't get much of that these days, please don't lose the art of conversation with patrons. The food was delicious and such a great variety, I'll be back to try more. Would highly recommend this place even if you're not in the area. It's worth the trip.

I can't believe I have walked past this place several times. Glad I found it. The menu has many favs of mine and is quite varied. I went for the Cuban sandwich and a side of chips. Cuban had the authentic taste and was a little tidier and lighter then ones you have down in Florida and of course Cuba and surrounds. But enjoyable. The chips despite not looking flash were quite nice and again enjoyable. The wait times was well within reason and the male server had great customer service skills. Despite this, I will plan in my work week to become a regular. Second visit, ordered the same. No change in review.

I stopped in for lunch and had the famous southern BBQ brisket sandwich. Absolutely amazing. It was tasty, decent portion, the mean was juicy and well cooked and the flavours we on point. The staff were wonderfull and friendly and seemed to be genuinely proud of the food they were serving. Can’t recommend this place enough after my first visit. I’ll be a regular there from now on I think!
