My 5 y/o and I went to have breakfast for dinner and we left so full. The portion sizes are really big. The child’s menu was very affordable and they gave an adult size portion. This place felt like I was in Alaska at a cozy diner. The staff wore masks and were very friendly. We couldn’t finish all of our food and we ordered the smaller portions. Definitely will be back with a big appetite next time.
