Love this place! The menu has really good selection and I was having trouble deciding until one of the employees came outside to help me decide. Ended up getting what he recommended and it was AMAZING. I got the Iron Man mix feteer, it was crispy and savory. Incredibly filling for the price and it came out quickly. The service here is very friendly and the environment is certainly welcoming. If I wasn’t just visiting, this would be a regular spot! - Damien Rousseau
