Ive been here several times. The food is always good. Got the blacken chicken tacos this time. About a zero on the spice level so I’d ask for hot sauce. Cajun fries were delicious. Service great. Pretty quiet even thought it was a concert night at Roadrunner.

The food is excellent. I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to find parking for lunch. It was easy to get a table for our group, and it was quiet enough that we could easily hear each other. The sun was pretty bright, but they were kind enough to lower a shade.

Met our expectations from a reliable/source referral to eat here. We were attending a local college, H, hockey game after dinner. Before heading to Brighton from Walpole, staff gave good directions for validation parking near building.. Meal: burger was perfect size and cooked. We’ll be back!
