Called to inquire about parking for a truck, they were awesome and let us park it for the night. We then went in to eat and although it was 20minutes to close, we were served by an amazing waitress with a great personality! The food was extremely well flavored, hot and fresh and at great prices. The fries were home cut and amazing. Will definately be back anytime I am in the area.
