    I came in for lunch on a Monday and had the sidewinders. It’s a bed of spiral cut potato’s with nacho cheese sour cream and pork. The manager Matthew came out and spoke to me, really nice guy and great service. The food was hot, fast, and delicious. I will definitely be coming back to try some other menu items.

    If you have not tried the baked potatoes, i recommend trying. I get the one with bacon and add extra butter and sour cream to it. I also just tried the beef potato with bbq sauce and that to me tasted better as leftover, after all the flavors mingled.
