We both ordered quesadilla, mine was chicken, cheese and it's added sautéed onions. We lived in TX for 45 years, so i know good quesadillas when i get them. Serving sizes were large enough to share. Man these were great! Our waitress was cute, friendly and attentive to our needs without being asked. Great service. Costs were favorable, not higher or lower than other places. I am glad some of our other favorite places were closed (Juky 5th) because we found a new favorite place to eat! Sorry, I did not take photos, I was too busy eating. Enjoy!

It's a beautiful place. The food was so good and not real expensive. They have a high variety on the menu. The servers we had were amazing. One night it was a young lady her name was Kenzie. And one night it was a girl named Summer. They both were awesome. We had them both another night . They were respectful, caring and very polite. Them waitresses need to be making more than what they do. So everyone please remember to tip the servers. Summer is a mom of 2. I would highly recommend this place .

Chloe is a fabulous waitress! She took our order and we listened to music by Rachel & Cyle while waiting for our food. Had the 10 oz. Burger with onion rings and the new Voodoo Quesadilla. Food came out hot, fresh and perfect! Music and atmosphere were great. Love this place!! My new favorite.

Plenty of parking. Clean inside and out. Nice outside seating area. Modern atmosphere. The burgers are an excellent choice here, thick and juicy on a buttery bun with a side of fries. We were here at lunch time and it wasn’t busy.
