“ Amazing food, the buffet on Sunday is really good, turkey coffee is also delicious. The lady dancing is really cute and the service is really good. Could b crowded from 2 pm to 4 pm. Better to go earlier. ”
“ I came past closing one night and the staff was so warm I tried again the next night and ordered a lamb taco para llevar and while I didn’t think it was the best thing ever, kind of dry/ lacking sauce that would have been easily remedied if I ate in store. It was worth the price, the lamb was good quality. ”
