Food: Food portrays mixed views
A few things certain and that is the freshness and portions at this place. There is no question that the ingredients are fresh and portions are large. But creativity and taste lack, making the experience unsatisfactory. The steak sandwich tasted like salt and water. A bit of a hit and miss situation with decent variety, and reasonable pricing.
Great Portions
Customers overwhelmingly love the huge, generous portions served.
Okay Taste
Food tastes good, not fantastic, but a decent experience overall.
Creativity
Average service and food, lacking culinary imagination or distinctive flavors.

Vibe: Amateurish interiors disappoint
The unpleasantness begins with the cramped seating followed by stuffy interiors and outdated décor. The place is noisy making it unfit for dates, and worst of all, they don't serve alcohol. A restaurant with these many negatives hardly justifies its buzz.
Great Buzz
Frequently bustling and popular with a nostalgic, cool, old-school vibe.
Aesthetic
Seating can be cramped, stuffy interiors, and décor feels outdated.
Perks: Few perks hardly compensate
Parking is not an issue here and it's spacious enough to handle large groups well. However, the high road noise, exhaust fumes, and lack of quick reservations during peak hours are definite pitfalls. Further disappointment settles in with the limited healthy options in the menu.
Great Parking
Ample, easy, and free parking frequently noted, enhancing convenience.
Okay Service
Service wavers between efficient and fast to indifferent or slow at times
Diets
Lack of healthy, diet-friendly options for special nutritional needs.
