“ Clean restaurant, friendly employees great food served fast and at appropriate temperature. This was My first time eating here too. I had breakfast my friend had lunch . I always choose breakfast vs any other things usually unless I have a specific taste for something. Or a certain restaurant makes what I'm wanting and how I ordered it vs anywhere else. ”
