Husband took the kids here this weekend. He said not only was it the best customer service he had ever received but the food was amazing. He brought me home some grapes that he managed to keep the kids from eating up but the strawberries and pineapples were instantly gone. I can’t wait to go back and get more. Highly recommend.
