First time visiting this restaurant. Stopped as we drove thru town. Upon entering was greeted by a very sweet young lady. Wish our stomachs were as big as our eyes. Food was absolutely amazing.We were not disappointed. Waitress immediately brought out the best fresh chips and salsa, the salad and mozzarella sticks.Our kids demolished the mozzarella sticks. I could not stop eating the chips. Staff members stopped over to chat and check in as did our waitress. When our food arrived everything was so fresh, hot amazing and huge portions. We decided to order a pizza and cake to go. We live in NY but travel thru PA and this is a hidden gem. We will absolutely be back. Service and food deserves more than 5 stars. I wish I got pictures of the apps and my daughter’s cheese pull 🤣 Edit The pizza a

I would definitely recommend, I'm a very difficult person to please when we go out to eat. Everyone that knows me knows it's true. But the food in this establishment was beyond my expectations. Absolutely everything was delicious and the staff was courteous and very friendly. I will definitely return.

This review is only about the pizza. I do not care what the cashier order taker says. I 100% believe this is frozen pizza. The crust is perfectly circular the way the cheese is laid on it the way the toppings are laid on it. Most certainly the flavor. This is either subpar, frozen pizza or prepared. Never Frozen pizza sold to restaurants or something. This is not a chance handmade. It is not good pizza. Don't know about the rest of the menu. I broke my rule because the family wanted to try this. You either buy pizza from pizzeria or an Italian restaurant. Do not buy pizza from a Mexican restaurant. Was not inexpensive. Was not good. Maybe the rest of their menu is probably fine. Do not order pizza from this place. ***In response to the owner. The appearance of the pizza was the final reas

First time here. The staff was friendly. However, I was appalled by the 4 cheese steaks I ordered. The lady handed me my two bag which I was expecting them to have some weight to them. But felt like I was carrying a loaf of bread. I got out to the car and looked in the one box to make sure she gave me the right order. I stared blankly at the box thinking "Omg, I should have went elsewhere, my children are going to have these gone in 2 seconds". Especially since I paid $50 for 4 TINY little 6in cheese steaks. Not once did it mention on the site the size of the cheese steaks. I assumed they were like anywhere else you go. These looked like two slider buns together. Not happy! It didn't taste that good either (use seasoning)

★★★★★ 5.0 Beth · Nov 2025

Food is delicious and staff is extremely friendly! The restaurant is a welcome addition to the neighborhood. Both Italian and Mexican food options are amazing!! The atmosphere is relaxed and whole building newly rennovated. It has an upstairs and a downstairs with large bar, and area to host larger parties. If I could give more than 5 stars I would :)
