We were seated quickly, greeted quickly. Food came out very fast and tasted great. The waitress was also very funny. There's a lot of options on Pearl Street for food, but we keep coming back here.

My husband and I were chatting to our waitress about being new to the area and she was so sweet joking and laughing with us. Unbeknownst to us, shes the owners wife! When owners can make you feel welcomed and have a normal conversation with you that doesn't feel forced feels better than anything you can give me food wise. The atmosphere can truly set the flavor of the food in my opinion.Speaking of food. As a first timer, I ordered the beef chilli with cheese, bowl size is definitely a healthy serving. But absolutely delicious and comforting! Most diners are bland and cater to the geriatric community taste palate but here, they definitely sprinkled some flavorful spices in my chilli. I need to come back and taste some more on this menu!10/10 would come here again for the cleanliness, food, and great company. This is how you create regulars. They're doing it right.
