The pulled pork nachos were good but I personally would do without the bbq sauce on it. Will have to try something different next time.

Order at the counter and they'll bring your food to you, and don't be surprised if you are served by Justin Kleinfeldt himself, as he is very personable and very down to earth. Easy to forget that he owns the place. Ambiance is mild as it's a former truck stop cafe but it's still cozy, as the cool factor is is banners supporting the many baseball teams his daughter excels on. All in all, the whole show is worth the trip, and your stomach will thank you for making the trip.

Everything nearby was closed so we opted for Hawaiian BBQ. We weren't sure how this place would be,…read morebut it was pretty good! I got the grilled teriyaki chicken plate and my friend ordered the short ribs. I got veggies in replace of my rice and the portions are HUGE! I could only eat 1/3 of my plate before saving the rest for another time. The chicken is tender and juicy. Veggies cooked just right. The cashier was sweet and gave recommendations. Food was hot and fresh. Delicious! Interior clean as well! :)

The side of chili is my absolute favorite, and you get to choose between steak fries or a baked potato can't go wrong with either. The steak was well-seasoned and flavorful, though it wasn't cooked evenly this time. Overall, I'd rate the meal an 8.4/10. I'll definitely be back! The service was excellent friendly, patient, and great with families. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a western-style, family-friendly vibe.

This restaurant has changed owners. Its been awhile since we have come and although the food was…read moregood, it was not the same as the original establishment. We had a terrific server and were easily seated on a Saturday night. The place hardly had anyone there which was unusual for our historical stops there. We ordered an array of items from starters, pasta and pizza and even my favorite Bruschetta Genovese was missing the original recipe and was not worth coming back for. Large portions and better than average ....but kind of disappointed that it appearsbthey have changed many of the recipes that once made this a go to for our family. And I would say a bit overpriced for the quality now. I will stick to Angelinas and Pastabilities to get the food cooked and seasoned like our food memory remembers.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant…read more My wife ordered the New York steak, which was cooked perfectly and had great flavor, along with mashed potatoes. However, the vegetables were overwhelmed with garlic, so much so that she couldn't eat them. My daughter had the French dip. The seasoning was a bit different but still pleasantly mild, and dipping it in the au jus really enhanced the flavor. She also had the sweet potato fries, which she enjoyed. I had the Cali Cubano with sweet potato fries. The Cubano was outstanding--everything came together with the right balance of ingredients and flavors. The service was fast and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm, friendly, and inviting. Overall, we enjoyed a great meal in a comfortable setting and would gladly recommend this restaurant.

They are cash only but there is an ATM.

My friend & I scheduled a tasting prior to ordering food for a Celebration of Life for a Loved One…read morethe following week. We were greeted with a smile by the owner, treated like royalty with a clean table, bottled waters, and pure joy. I was unable to eat anything due to a food allergy (they use soybean oil), but I recommend this restaurant for everyone who can eat the food safely. The owner prepared a plate with our Loved One's favorite dishes - she was HI-Japanese - so these were her 'comfort foods'. The dishes sampled were the ones we chose for the event. They included Pancet (meat & veg) and Fried Lumpia. We paid after our tasting & made arrangements for a 3rd party to pick up the dishes on the day of the event. Guests & family raved about the food. It was presented nicely and there was plenty for our large group. We send our gratitude to the owner & his attentive staff for providing exemplary customer service & food. Pick up was easy & everything was packaged for safe transport in a car. Some notes about the restaurant: It's located in a strip mall with ample parking. The place is practically spotless. The owner never stopped cleaning. Restaurant owners & managers, take note!! The menu is simple, but hearty and flavorful (according to my friend). If you're lucky, the dishwasher will serenade you as he works!!
