★★★★★ 5.0 Heather Lloyd · Apr 2024

Very cute little place with a kind owner. The food was A+ and reasonably priced. Owner chatted with us a bit and gave us free ice cream at the end. Definitely going to go back as it's a nice lil walk from our place and a good experience! Boyfriend got the BBQ chicken sandwich, I got the pulled pork pizza (12").

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 JJ N · Sep 2025

As others have noted in the reviews, the high prices, small amount of food and overall quality just leaves you disappointed. Hands down the most bland pizza I’ve ever had. $27 for a 12” pizza that promised portobello mushrooms and pulled pork. There were a few pieces of mushroom but nearly non existent pulled pork. The double cheeseburger was somewhat good but small for the price. Just a really horrible value, poor quality and a price gouge for the tiny amount of food for the price. If I were the owners, I might listen to some of the reviews and consider changes.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Ian Zimmerman · Aug 2025

I wouldn't normally leave a negative review, but some of the prices of this menu are scary. $8.99 for a tiny 12oz cup of frozen strawberry smoothie you could almost make better at home isn't just ludicrous, it's criminal. The portion sizes for the price you pay on other things are also, pretty scary. You don't get your money's worth here. I can't recommend it.

Great food! The guy in charge is fun to talk to. I recommend it a lot.
