This is our 'go to' place for breakfast. Sometimes it can be a bit of a wait, but worth it. We decided to go for dinner for a change and I was sadly disappointed. The food was very salty, and the fries were not cooked enough. The rest of my group weren't very happy either. I will definitely keep going for breakfast. The staff are fantastic, the decor and the music will just put you in the mood to have a great day!

I have gone here on for about 2 years now and 80% of the time I have had a good meal but recently I have been finding they are using too much salt. Last time I pointed it out the cashier said there was nothing they could do about it and that's just the way it was. ( I just shrugged it off figured she must've been having a bad night).So I didn't bother going there for a couple of months, til I had the craving for the Red devil again. Meal was decent then asked the waitress for the bill, she disappeared for 15 mins so I got tired of waiting. Went up to the till and told them my table number and food I ordered. Same cashier again, was rude and said oh well go find your waitress because I won't cash you out without her. So that's the last time i will bother going there, food is becoming hit and miss anyways.

I ordered the Chicken Dinner which came over cooked and the coating was way too salty for my taste. Almost couldn't ear the coating. I wasn't the only one who said it was too salty and way fried too much. Lots of the other food was good.

This is the best restaurant in town! The owner is a wonderfully friendly and beautiful woman, and her employees share her positive attitude.
