Excerpts from public reviews
We called in for a takeout order. When we got there, the place wasn’t busy, but they forgot 2 of our meals, the salad missed most of the ingredients, and the fries were not proportional amongst me…
— Google, 1★, October 3, 2026Nice outside area to enjoy the view but inside has a nice vibe as well. The clam chowder is very good. Like the half size salad options.
