Went here for my cousin's graduation dinner and I have never been and we were a party of four with no reservation. We didn't have to wait to get a booth, the menu was very straightforward and the prices were very reasonable. The service was great but I did have to remind the waiter about my refill. I will definitely be going back.

First time here, ordered the ultimate burger. Burger was outstanding, the kielbasa and brisket combo hit the spot. Will definitely return on next visit to Cali. Price was high but cannot complain due to quality of food.

My first visit was wonderful; even though it was quite crowded on a Sunday afternoon, our food arrived in a reasonable time and was served hot and tasty. The staff was excellent—very friendly and helpful with the menu. I will definitely return.

Everything was perfect! Food was great, and it didn't come out as much as we expected! Even with desert it was still affordable for my family. Our server, Joe/Joey, was amazing and very kind to us. He helped us with some choices since it was our first time. And the atmosphere was comforting and everyone was minding their own business. Everything is clean and very calming. Thanks Joe for the great experience!

It was good. Surprised that the spicy chicken sandwich was made using 3 "strips" vs one breast/ patty. Made it impossible to eat like a sanfwich, but tasty.

Our experience was pleasant and our waiter was helpful and respectful. However, service was rather slow. We ordered ribs, pulled pork, beef brisket, and beef ribs. We also had corn-on-the-cob, macaroni and cheese, mashed sweet potatoes, and baked potatoes for sides. In general, all of the food was good, not fantastic, but definitely good.
