  1. Can you say arson. They treated the help like crap not paying them hollaring at them. I feel bad for the help that was left high and dry.

  2. I agree! They would treat staff badly! Loved the food, but found an even better place that is even better! Staff and owners are friendly and helpful at the new place we tried!!
