    Good food. The music is a bit loud making it difficult to hear the employees and each other. But portions are pretty big.

    Went to Orlando for a trip and stopped here before coming home. Best money I spent on the whole trip. Everything was very delicious. Cooked to perfection. Got a lot of food to go. Will definitely stop here again on the next trip. Eat here and get some to bring home.
