Decent Service, Poor Chicken Fried Steak
My experience at this restaurant was mixed. While the service was decent and the atmosphere was good, the food was a letdown. The eggs were good, but the chicken fried steak was disappointing, described as "Sysco bs. " The price per person was $10–20, and there was no wait time. The noise level was moderate.
