JEF Yonabaru — Restaurant in Yonabaru

It kinda reminded me of the old style drive ins at A&W back in the 70’s/ 80’s in North America. I loved the old school almost vintage like charm of this location. The service was good. The staff was busy with the drive in and take out customers and it was decently busy with an elderly population. About my age and up. Guess I am getting older!
