Whenever I visit this town, I always make sure to have a tuna melt. It's so good that I feel like hugging the person who makes them! Ha! Delicious.

It's been years since I last visited this restaurant, and I found the food to be just average. While I won’t be returning for the meals, I do look forward to coming back in the summer for some Italian ice.

The dining area is still not open, which feels like a significant waste of space. The portions we received were quite large, but the food was just okay, as if it had been sitting out for a while. The sauce is served in a cup for you to pour on the barbecue, but the barbecue itself looked old and dry because of it.

The food was really good and fairly priced. They had good customer service and it didn't take long. It was a nice day so we sat at the benches outside. I would definitely recommend it.
