They had some big shoes to fill when they took over this spot, and with some nearby competition, but they have held their own and continue to satisfy and be a pleasant spot that doesn't...

I got the mayonnaise bread, BBQ Pork Sandwich, Egg Rolls and a Thai Iced Tea. The sandwich was amazing, as was the mayonnaise bread. I’m not a big Thai iced tea guy, so that was just okay. I enjoyed the egg rolls as well, especially dunked in the chili sauce. Come check it out when you are...
