Enough food loaded on the plate for you to know you're going to need a doggy bag. And it tasted great! My husband was especially entranced by the biscuits - 4x the size of the average biscuit and light and tasty. 

Business response:

Aw, shucks, you’re making us blush!

I love the bear decor. The food was very good and our server, Isaiah, was very friendly and efficient. The turkey dinner, tuna sandwich, chicken noodle soup, and biscuits & gravy were all good.

I liked they had food that would accommodate weight watchers. There should be more though. It is a bit pricey. A lot of items are a la cart.
