Definitely a locals place... Great value and nothing fancy... The food was good, service was good and prices were very reasonable. Portions are huge and we ended up bringing home half of our orders. It seems like they get a mostly older clientele here. Been coming here for years but not often enough.

This is a local favorite, little secret. The burgers are absolutely delicious. Cute little carafe of wine or Beer for 3.50 with a meal. Service is top notch, feels like family. Sports bar type tv’s on one side while the dining is separate. You must go! In the Staples shopping center.
