Took my grandson to buy clothes for his 17 birthday, we stopped here for lunch. I mapped for a restaurant and saw this place. Surprised I never noticed it, so glad I did! He got the super cheeseburger, I got the green chili pattymelt and onion rings, so delicious! It was actually 2 meals for me, had half for dinner later! And pumpkin pie! I will return to try the ribs, and steak, often!

The Monterey chicken had a deli slice piece of ham with a piece of sliced cheese that was not cooked together so it did not gel together 😐 the prices have gone up but the food has gone down. So disappointing 😞

When I first came, I ordered chicken and lemon steak dinner. I first tried chicken mmmmm it tastes juicy and the taste, tastes like life. My favorite drink is raspberry drink. The clam soup is really delicious!!!!!
