    Great location and food. Burger is our meal of choice but our last visit the quality was not its best. Hoping a fluke and just a one time occurrence.

    Food and service were both amazing. The LMT scramble is enough for 2 people to share. The Dutch baby apple pancake was perfect — not too sweet.
