The atmosphere was so nostalgic, I was back in the 80's and 90's. The food was amazing and filling. The shake was the best I have ever had.

Unfortunately the projector wasn’t working the day we came in. Not their fault but a bummer as that was one of the reasons I brought my art student daughter in. Food and drinks were tasty and quick. We’ll try again for the cartoons.
