"Went for an early dinner and am so glad we did. The food was great and the service was awesome. I ordered the Gyro and it was really good. Also enjoyed the cheese balls. The ranch dressing was killer! Wish I was in town longer so I could try other items."

"Steak my wife had was tender and awesome. I got the tenderloin and it had a good amount of pork. Bummed it didn’t come with tomato and lettuce. Was told that would be extra. I eat breaded tenderloins around the state and never had to pay extra for that."
