Eclectic Gypsy Cute restaurant with good food and affordable prices! I had tonights special, chicken fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and gravy and green beans. $13.99. Great flavor, plenty of food, and came out to the table pretty quickly! I also tried the potato skins. Its pretty good! Not a lot of tables, so it gives a comfy, personable feel. Thought about pictures after I was halfway through the meal!

Rene Roy Just stopped by to grab a quick meal and the man at the register was Top Notch. He created an environment that was very nice to dine in. The other workers, we had contact with were also very nice. Thank you for the great experience!

Kim Waters I went through drive through to get granddaughter her free fries for doing good in school with her school green card. The voice that came over the speaker was so kind and soft natured. Very nice to hear, you don’t always get that. Very polite and was so kind even when our order was free, she gave us the best costumer service, it didn’t matter if we weren’t spending money today, she was still so kind. So we will go back! I asked to speak to the lady who took my order and let her know personally that we appreciate her customer service and kind voice, that we don’t always get that. She said her name was Margaret and she was the manager. Thanks for a great experience!

Leon Kaeb Excellent all around. I ordered the Enchiladas Rancheros. Was a special discount for Sunday. Tasty food and plenty.
