👍👍 Like Sister Schuberts rolls on steroids. I got the BLT biscuit: tomato jam, bacon and a potato fritter. Definitely a win. The potatoes were excellently cooked, just the right amount of smush and crisp. The location is on a quiet end of town and parking was no problem. Highly recommend.

👍👍 Holy moly. Shrimp and Chicken kabobs with beet salad and mixed vegetables. Then the chef brought me the most amazing Brisket kabob you could imagine and I got to be the guinea pig for his new lamb kabobs. I can't recommend this place enough. You won't regret. Happy man.
