The Onion
Summary
Would we go there again: Yes
"It's like Denny's meets your Grandma's house." That's something Jeni said while we were eating. Except that the food is way better than a Denny's, and my Grandma's house doesn't have quite as odd of framed things on the wall, but you might kindof get the general idea. Or maybe you won't. It's good food anyway.

Tim's Comments: I liked this place. It felt somewhat like a toned-down Red Robin to me. The quality of the food was quite good, and the atmosphere definitely was not off-putting. Of course it was a quite Friday afternoon, so who knows just what it gets like in the evenings.
Jeni's Comments: They served Craven's Coffee, which was really good. Also, I really liked that salad. I wish I could buy it now. I would recommend it to anyone.
