On 6/30/2026 Sheri Wandall had this to say:
I called in my order to take back to my hotel room because I had my service dog and wasn’t feeling well to stay out. Really wish I had of eaten in. the place was beautiful well kept quick service and I would have loved to tried a drink. If I end up in the area again, I will definitely be coming back here and eating in. The food was so good and fresh, and there was such an abundance of it that I could only eat half of my meal which really made me sad because it was too good to not finish.

On 6/28/2026 Vinita P. had this to say:
