The restaurant really needs an overhaul. You can see the kitchen from the dining room. It looks old and not taken care of. Bathrooms are in the same shape. This is representitive of the restaurant's care of cleanliness and food safety. It fails!!! They seem to make enough money to remodel the restaurant. If the CEO was not so greedy, he/she should close down the place and completely remodel it. Yes, he/she may lose money for a month or two, but in the long run, they may make more money because it is more efficient and clean. The employees are very friendly and helpful. The food is good. It is just that the establishment looks like it needs an overhaul.

My wife and I enjoy eating at this location because it is close and smaller. The one thing my wife mentioned and after I looked closely are that the Restrooms looked moped but grout lines are filthy. Toilets are not clean and there us a Urine smell. I took a photo but stopped as people began to come in.
We enjoy the people there as they are friendly and seem helpful. We are an older couple and they have everything we wish to enjoy eating.
We called to speak to the owner/manager but the lady that answered would not give it to us so we are writing in place of a phone call. Overall we enjoy eating here.
