Food was pretty good and priced well. Especially the Italian Sausage, I also had 2 chili cheese dogs that were good. Hot Dog quality was great, staff friendly. Will return.

Gyro cheeseburger was decent, kinda small but I really can't complain since it was reasonably priced! I absolutely loved that this place was affordable! Hope you keep it that way! Nachos (cheese and jalapeños) were ok. Jalapeños were really good, better than average I would say.
