The food is always great and the service fantastic. I just wanted to leave a review. There was a new employee being trained. The employee training her was doing such a great job. Very patient. Giving her great information and teaching her some exceptional customer service skills especially if they were getting busy. The food was fantastic as well! 

Business response:

Hot, fresh, and crispy—sounds like the perfect combo. Elizabeth will be happy to hear she made your visit even better!
