“I loved this place. The service was awsome. I bought some tater logs that were so good i wanted to buy more. But i was full. So i didnt go get more but my whole day was so positive and i got so much work done. I wish i lived closer so i could stop there every day. So clean inside i think i would roll on the floor.

The bread for the buns was cooked so soft.”
