Tucked away from the usual spots, this place is definitely worth seeking out. The owner, Jean, runs it all by himself and he's incredibly friendly. It really feels like you're having dinner at his home! If you're a fan of beer, you'll be pleased to find around 100 different options available.

The food is outstanding, and the service is fantastic. Although they were temporarily closed, they have reopened with a new menu. My family and I really enjoy dining here. The food is top-notch, and the owner is typically present and very welcoming. Additionally, the location is convenient. I can't wait to eat there next week!

Delicious food prepared by the owner as an order. Wonderful atmosphere. Very reasonable prices. We've been diners for three years. Not another who serves this good and healthy food... although many comfort dishes are also.

This place is tucked away next to the community college. He's a nice man and has a fantastic business. BUT he needs help! He was the only one working the day I ate there. There were six of us and he prepared appetizers and all of our meals while other customers were dribbling in. Go try this place and if you know anybody who's looking for work, he's looking for a wait staff.

Stopped in tonight for take out. Got the beef gyro and fries. Very good food and thought the service was amazing. Will definitely go back many more times.
