This place serves kids burgers with fries. It is of a good size, and you can add toppings according to your child’s liking! It is a really nice and big place with plenty of seating and flat-screen TVs around. You and your kid will love the vibe here as it is extremely clean and has nice modern decorations. Just come in, get a number, and they will bring your order to the table once it is ready! It is slightly on the higher end but it is definitely worth the visit! Their blue cheese fries and brussels sprouts are simply amazing as well.
