Horrible!
Posted by tony from LA, CA on March 7, 2008
The service was awful. the servers seemed unhappy to be there. the food was not good. and, if you do go and eat there, they routinely overcharge on purpose. i wrote an email to the manager to say i was overcharged and he did not even give me the dignity of a response. the only thing nice was the ride. i would suggest passing this joint up and travel a little further down the road to a decent establishment.
