I don’t know why people are complaining… this place is always so good! Great prices, the menu items are consistent and of good quality. You cannot find a better deal than the 2 beer deal of the day. Bloody Mary’s are delicious and their sea-bass over salad is so good! Go pay 10 more per meal elsewhere if you weren’t happy here.

I had the Broatsed Parmesan Half Chicken, and it was so huge that I couldn't eat it all. The lunch specials were really economical. Three people ate with drinks and the bill was just under 50.00. The service was prompt, friendly, and informal. The lunch specials alone were worth the drive.

Let's be honest. On the interior, the environment feels like a mix between a banquet-hall/canteen, and an open floorplan bar combined. The specials menu is written on a chalkboard weekly, and provides amazing deals. Its well maintained and cleanly, and the staff there are considerate and well mannered. Nowhere else could I imagine getting 12 A.U.C.E. shrimp and tilapia, or half of a dang chicken. It may not be Michelin Star level cooking, but it doesn't need to be. It's the soul of the surrounding neighborhood and provides a hot cooked meal for families, late shift workers, and welcomes just about anyone. Recommendations: Be sure to check their chalkboard menu. Some of the most affordable and tastiest dishes can be found there, otherwise they have their printed menu with 365 a year favorites. If you get AUCE, try to limit yourself to two plates. They will no doubt serve you more than two, but for 12 it'd be a crime to eat them out of business. This place needs to grow. Bring together a group of 8 or so friends from your neighborhood and make it a plan to meet up on a Monday night after work. Make this place a culture, not just a restaurant. That's all from me. Until next time
