The oxtail burger was the best flavored sandwich I've had this year.

The oxtail burger and fries are amazing! Try their honey mustard sauce also. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable even the owner walks around and makes sure that everything is ok.
Good Vibes
Popped in to this place as an out-of-towner. We were so happy with the quality of the food, service, and presentation. The owner has a wonderful demeanor about him. Kind, and honest (suggested we didn't buy another order of fries for ex bc we all had fries w our meal-- as so that we wouldn't have to leave w too much food). Also, made us aware that for large parties gratuity was included when some may not notice that it said this at the bottom of the check. Aside from all that, my bottom line w any place my family and I visit is, "how was the food". Well, simply put, the food was incredible. My kids left saying this was the best meal they've ever had. The meals came with some really good niche sauces to dip, and my kids got the lemonades and they were amazing. I had the oxtail burger and it was probably the best, juiciest, savory burger I've ever had. As a person who doesn't really care for the hustle of a city in general, I never thought I'd say this, but I can't wait to come back to the area just to visit here. 10/10

Anytime I see cream soda on the menu I know the food is about slap! They ran out of a few items and let us know from the door which was great. Its a very chill vibe and atmosphere that allows you to trust the food is gonna come out great. The oxtail burger was mixed with ground beef but it was still tasty and tender. I cant remember the last time I ate a burger in one sitting. My youngest son had the wings and he ate all of them. We even ordered a dessert which I never do anytime we go out to eat. Everything was delicious we didnt have a single complaint.
