    Absolutely horrible service. Our server rarely checked in with us. Would take us 30 min to get a drink, over an hour for our food… would never recommend this spot to anyone.

    The food was honestly amazing. It would just really good. The service was not great at all. The waitress wasn’t very great. There were a bunch of flies everywhere. All over the food and table. There was a mother with her kids stroller next to us, and her stroller was swarming with flies due to the window being open.
