This is a fantastic local spot with flavorful, saucy sandwiches! The prices are reasonable, and there's a great variety of options to choose from. I particularly loved the sumac chicken—it was amazing. When I was about to leave a tip, the waiter simply said, “If you liked it, come back.” That made me want to tip even more than the usual amount because it felt genuine and inviting.

I have been here numerous times before and really like this place.We were ready to order and the guy was on the phone. More than likely was taking orders or even pretending to be taking orders.If he was busy, he could have acknowledged us and said, I'll be with you shortly. We walked away because he didn't even acknowledge our presence.
