    We strolled in here prior to the Cardinals/Lions game. It was surprising that we were in to get a table when it was so busy outside. This place is a hidden gem for people in town for football. Definitely recommend for easy lunch eats, and to fuel up before a long day! Our experience was made 100% by our server Katie, who took absolute care of us. She had great recommendations, was kind, funny, prompt, and was so lovely. She is the server that people dream of!
