Really enjoy the food here! Clean and made with love, the staff and owner are exceptionally kind 💕 They bring a "grandma's kitchen" type of vibe. The patio is shaded and surrounded by flowers and greenery, so beautiful! I'm from out of state and will definitely be back to have lunch here next time I'm around!

My grandtr passed this place the other day & remembered it from 6 yrs ago! The owner was a customer of mine when I worked at the CVS on Mill and always told me to stop in. Unfortunately, the place had closed due to covid, and I no longer worked at CVS. But prior to that I had taken my grandtr down Mill St in 2018 or 2019 when she was only 5 or 6yr old. It was 100° plus outside, and she hadn't eaten. We stopped here wanting water only. But the staff saw she looked sluggish and they ended up giving my grandtr some food and a drink! Free! She absolutely loved it and always wondered what happened. So when she saw it was open while she was on Christmas break she was soooo excited and wants to go back. I told her we would when she is off school during the week as the restaurant only open weekdays for lunch. She is excited and I just wanted to share this information.
