The food was great and I loved this place. Today I walked in and what I believe to be one of the managers, yelled at her co worker, who was probably only 17-18, and made her cry. All because she did not know the pizza was done. The customer was not even mad so I have no idea why she yelled at her. I threw away my food and left. Never going back. TREAT YOUR WORKERS WHO YOU PROBABLY PAY 10$ AN HOUR BETTER!

Good food overall. Best is roast beef, italian beef, chicken tenders, biscuits and gravy, any of their burgers, veggie burger. I've liked almost everything from there except the few times they make Mexican food which is better at good Mexican restaurants.
