The clean, small, order at counter, diner was empty when I entered, but I received a friendly greeting right away. I've eaten vegetarian here, the Garden burger made with Black beans, so this afternoon I tried the Memphis burger with the Bistro fries. This is one of their craft burgers topped pulled pork, Cheddar, lettuce, tomato, & BBQ sauce. Everything is just plain down home good and they're willing to prepare it several different ways for you. So tasty you can even overlook the plastic silverware while you eat it there. I'm going to try the Key lime pie on my next my next trip or one of the Good looking salads. Parking is limited but there are always spots when I bike bye. Feel free to call the store about your questions.

Best fresh food we’ve had in a long time!!! Everything was absolutely delicious and the owner is awesome!!!! Best customer service around from an actual owner!!! We will come weekly now!! Love it!!!

The food was excellent. If you want food with a home cooked taste this is the place to go. Customer service was on point also. He was very friendly with a personality to remember. I ordered the queso steak fries and chicken Baja tacos. I want to add the steak on those fries were soooo tender.The chicken on the tacos were too.

Food and service were absolutely incredible! The owner is so friendly and goes out of his way to take care of your needs. We had the gringo and bistro burgers with fries and carrot cake for dessert and inhaled every bit. 10/10 recommend. We will be back!

Talk about a welcoming committee. The presumed owner greeted us as we walked in and made us feel like family immediately. Once it was our turn at the register he patiently explained the menu questions we had and recommended various options. He explained several times during our visit that multiple items on the menu were homemade. Clearly the location was most recently a Subway (and we heard him tell another table he does own a Subway), so the dining room looks and feels familiar. If you enjoyed the customer service you’ll appreciate the quality of the food too! My wife and I both ordered sandwiches, not wraps or burgers, and they were great. The bread was incredibly soft and delicious. My pulled pork sandwich wasn’t overly saucy and had just enough jalapeños on it. My wife opted for the chicken bistro sandwich and got the sauce on the side. She enjoyed dipping her fries in it. We were caught in a weak moment when we ordered and bought a slice of key lime pie and carrot cake to go with our meals. We were basically full after the sandwiches and fries but the owner had talked us into dessert (that we’d already paid for) and had waited to bring them out. He did serve them in styrofoam containers but we didn’t know if we’d have a fridge in our hotel room. So we “forced” ourselves to eat dessert. My key lime pie was amazing. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her carrot cake as well. As you pull up to this place you might be wondering what you’re getting into - it’s not the fanciest neighborhood. It’s a great meal. THAT is what you are about to experience…

A wholesome experience! The food was delicious and the owner and staff were naturally hospitable. I had the Memphis Burger with Fries and the Cali (Chicken) Street Tacos.

I'm not a big fan of burgers but this place has to be one of the best in burgers I've had in a while. The owner was very nice and attentive and the price wasn't bad for the quality of food. I liked that you could have a cold beer with your burger if you wanted. Nice atmosphere too with pictures of the city on the wall and all in all it was just a nice setting.

Service was absolutely great. The register shows everything that comes on the burger I ordered. The person working the register described all the food and drinks. Even the desserts he explained and described how delicious they are. Burgers were freshly made and tasted great. The onion rings were not the best to me but my kids absolutely loved them. I loved the fries and the seasoning on them. I still definitely be back to try other menu items as soon as possible.
