It's my opinion that the food is greasy and the place is dirty. Owner is promoting bad business after hours in the parking it of this facility and it could be stopped by putting a fence up and not allowing over flow parking for the bar next door. The property is adjacent to a child care facility and a small church. The parking lot has had beer cans,booze bottles and drug paraphernalia littering the parking lot in the morning after.the owner appears to allows this over flow parking. She has cameras and she has towing signs posted all of which are ignored. She could have the cars towed and the troubles for the surrounding community would be allievated. When approached she told an elderly man " you don't know who you are messing with" he had to be close to 80.
