Testimonials

On 12/7/2025 Tami Wollslair had this to say:
Had a wonderful time even though we went for the Christmas cookie decorating which was hectic with 5 kids all under 10. The owner Sam and her staff were wonderful and the food was delicious we only got kids meals and appetizers for the adults and everything was great. Will be back when in the area.

On 12/6/2025 Jennifer Karnowski had this to say:
Sam the owner is the sweetest and always wanting to be there for her community. The staff is always super nice too! My repeat food of choice is the wings but they keep adding things to the menu that I've gotta try soon. I also had the pleasure of seeing their setup for a funeral luncheon and it was quite the spread! They really do an amazing job.
