If you find yourself in downtown (specifically the new east side) and you're not on someone else's dime, this restaurant will be your saving grace. They offer delicious and affordable food, a fantastic selection of beer and wine, morning coffee, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I visited so often that my wife might start to think I'm seeing one of the cashiers!

The store was near the hotel I stayed and I didn't want to pay an arm and a leg for my meals so this grocery store was a great alternative. The food is fresh and tasty and has most if not all accommodations of a grocery store. I would definitely come here again.

Yay! A great little grocery!!! read more Yay! A great little grocery!!!
