At times, some of the food has looked like it has been sitting there for quite a while and should have been thrown out.
In the dining room, a wall has been put up recently, making the dining room a bit smaller. Let’s hope this means that a remodel is in store soon. The carpet and some other areas of the dining room is filthy.
Besides that, the owner is very friendly! His friendliness is the reason people come back, not for...
