Happy Elephant Thai restaurant serves fresh, homemade Thai food. We offer: take out , delivery and catering services. Happy Elephant serves Asian cuisine in elk Grove Village Illinois.
I was highly disappointed at the Mango Sticky Rice. I love this dessert and eat it often, so I know how it’s supposed to taste. I was excited to try it at this restaurant. It tasted horrible. The sauce was watered down and the rice wasn’t fully cooked (crunchy texture).
The Pad Thai and the beef and broccoli dish were okay. The owner is very nice, but the food wasn’t great. I’ve had more delicious Thai food. That will be my last time eating from this restaurant.
We just had lunch from Happy Elephant. Ordered the Mangos and Sticky Rice, Steak Pad Thai, Pot Stickers and Crab Rangoon. Everything was fresh and delicious. I could eat the peanut sauce by itself with a spoon it’s so good! Thanks for the friendly service and amazing food!
Second time ordering from here and man food is fire. Had the Peanut Rama Noodles this time around, my girlfriend had the Shrimp Pad Thai. Make sure you get yourself a boba tea. Personally love the taro. Food is fresh and leaves you feeling satisfied (like no food coma). The owners are super sweet. Can’t wait to try the homemade pumpkin pie. Saving that for midnight snacking 😋
Phenomenal food! The curries have a perfect consistency. So many places make it too thick and sweet. The chef makes it just as it should be! Lime chicken is to die for and the pineapple fried rice has awesome smokey flavor.
Give this place a shot. You won't regret it!
By far worst pad Thai I’ve ever had! I’m not sure where the good reviews are coming from because my expectations were high and I was extremely disappointed. The peanuts tasted old, chicken was undercooked, and the sauce almost tasted sour and no flavor what so ever! Also the crab rangoons looked like they had been sitting out and I’ve never had crab rangoons with pepper in it so that was weird too. It’s sad when you spend the money and you can’t even enjoy the food, but I am more disappointed in the experience than losing the money. Definitely not going back!
Amazing food. So glad we found a local spot. I had the peanut rama noodles and my partner had the pad Thai. We both had the taro milk tea. Absolutely delicious. We devoured everything.
Could not have asked for a better experience! The food and service were perfect and I will be back soon to try more items!
I placed my order on GrubHub for pickup - it was ready within 15 minutes. When I walked in, the food smelled amazing! I was greeted with a very warm welcome, which was amazing. I ordered a drink called lime fizzy at the last minute. *Highly" recommend.
I tried their pad Thai (I requested extra sauce), crab rangoons tom yum soup the Lime Fizzy.
I know it is just an appetizer, but the crab rangoons are absolute perfection and their sweet and sour sauce blew my mind! They were so good, I tried to save some for my husband to try, but we will just have to go back! If you like crab rangoons, don't miss them here. Next time, I'll ask for extra sauce 😁
The pad Thai was good and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I'm glad I got extra sauce, as well.
The tom yum soup was some of the best I've ever had. VERY flavorful. Perfection.
Great experience and I'm already planning my next trip back to try their curries!
Great restaurant! Their beef Pad Thai is the best I’ve ever had from anywhere in the world!

Request and confirmed that food was gluten free, but was contaminated despite this. We had gluten free Rama noodles, gluten free basil friend rice, and the panag curry (which we confirmed was gluten free with the restaurant).
Mostly take out with a couple of seats to dine in. Family owned and operated and willing to customize ones order to specific preferences.
Najprawdziwsze Tajskie jedzenie robione przez super miła Pania z Tajlandi która dużo opowiada o swoim kraju. Dziękuję za stolik również 🙂

Very nice staff who made our food quickly and well

First time and defenitely, not the last.
Very, very delicious Thai food.
The owners are really nice but the food is not authentic Thai food. I have ordered Pad see ew and Pad Thai here because I was new to the neighborhood and wanted to try them out. Both times the noodles were very dry and not the correct noodles that are supposed to be used for those dishes.
Went to dine in but they've closed it off, carry out or delivery only. We got our food quickly but unfortunately it was mediocre at best. Cannot recommend, there are better options elsewhere.
I love the lime chicken with key lime pie for dessert. Yum!!
Amazing authentic thai food. Owners are so nice and welcoming. 10/10 would order from here again
AMAZING FOOD, wonderful service. Try the basil fried rice or pad thia absolutely stunning.
Pad Thai was tangy just the way I like it 👌 😋
Basil fried rice was good and also Penang noodles. I’ll be back soon!
Great family-owned restaurant. Our favorite place for Thai food. Ning, the owner, prepares a variety of classic Thai dishes and offers new takes on classic flavors. Try the Happy Wraps, Ning's Wings, any Curry, Peanut Chicken Rama Noodles and don't forget Mangoes and Sticky Rice.
Happy Elephant is one of my favorite Thai restaurants. Everything I have tried is authentic and you can tell it's prepared by someone who loves what they do!!
Give me some massaman curry and a Thai iced tea and I'm yours.
Definitely try them. You will not be sorry!
My favorite Thai restaurant by far. Owners are so friendly and the food is Amazing!
Great food, wonderful small business! I always get the pineapple fried rice, I could eat that everyday!! Highly recommend
Our office is around the corner from Happy elephant. We absolutely love it there! The people who own it are incredibly easy to work with & so friendly. We are happy to have such a yummy restaurant so close by.
I personally love their take on Orange & lime Chicken. I haven't had it that way anywhere else. It's SOOOO good.
We love Happy Elephant, the food is always delicious and fresh and a local favorite. My wife has a gluten allergy and they always try to accommodate and almost everything on the menu can be modified to make it gluten free. I highly recommend you try them out, you won’t be disappointed!
The best restraint in the world and the best food nothing beats it
Gary and Njng are the best owners and have such an amazing restaurant with the best food!!
My favorite Thai restaurant! Being gluten free (Celiac) I get nervous eating at any restaurant but they are so knowledgable and soooo delicious. We also had them cater our wedding, because I’m such a fan!
Excellent food, nice atmosphere. One of my favorites.
Absolutely the best!!! The only place I will travel to for the greatest Thai Cuisine!!! The owners are the best caring and so friendly!! Must try and highly recommended!! 👍😍👍😍
All authentic cuisine with family recipes handed down generations. No pomp no frills just delicious food at affordable prices. Excellent
I have been going to Happy Elephant since 2009. It was my first introduction to Thai food and now Thai cuisine is a regular part of my life. They have so many options and have great vegetarian options! The owners are a wonderful couple that really pour their heart and soul into the food and taking care of their customers. My favorite apps are the sticky wings, & crab Rangoon, panang/massaman if you want a mild curry, red and green for spicy. My favorite noodles are the drunken noodles, but pad Thai is a staple they do so well! Spicy basil and the garlic entrees are my favorite from that part of the menu, but if you are looking for something a little less exciting, the lime or orange chicken are super popular! Be sure to check out the special desserts that the chef makes, sometimes you can catch her coconut cake which is amazing! Her pies are always delicious and I wait all year for pumpkin pie and sticky rice. It may sound like an interesting combination, but honestly it is my favorite way to eat pumpkin pie now.
Hands down the best Thai food in Illinois. The ingredients are fresh, perfect flavors. Been a regular for 9 years. Plant based friendly and make my Thai iced coffee special with coconut milk.
It's too bad the screen has to be hiding the cute elephant water-color drawings. I hope they will be able to open up their eat-in section again someday. But the food is worth traveling from Florida for! Candy Wilson
Panang curry was so good.
Got pepper steak half tray, it was/is awesome. Came with a bunch of rice on the side. Probably enough for 8 big meals.
Super fast service
I used to go here all the time when I worked in the area. I have since relocated 30 mins away so I don't get here as much as I used to, but I ALWAYS stop by when I am in the area. They are currently take out only. This restaurant is a true family run small business. Husband usually takes the order while his wife, the real star, works her magic in the kitchen. The service is top notch. They are very patient if you aren't sure what you want and are willing to answer questions and make suggestions with courtesy. The food is amazing. Thai food is one of my favorite cuisines. I have eaten at many of the Thai restaurants in the NW suburbs and this is a the top of my best of list. The flavors are really packed in to each dish. If you are worried about amount of spice or flavor in a dish let them know your concern and they will do their best to acquiesce your request. The best secret in here is the dessert. All the dessert is made in house and they are amazing! Happy Elephant is my favorite because the food tastes like something they would serve to guests in their home. And that is how you are treated when you walk through the door. They really make an effort to make a connection with their customers. It is refreshing to see the effort now a days. If you are looking for a delicious convenient Thai cuisine or home made dessert stop in to Happy Elephant. You will not be disappointed.
I didnt get to eat their food, drove 5 miles to get there. Sign says dine in but there is no seating. I didn't want to eat in my car. I assume it's good and looks good on the pictures but sad I didn't get to eat.
The food was delicious. Staff is very nice and accommodating and the desserts were delicious!
Came here on Wednesday and got takeout - got the shrimp pad Thai and split crab rangoons with my friend. Pad Thai was absolutely delicious!!!! Love how generous they were with the peanut sauce. Came back today because it was just that GOOD. I tried the coconut chicken soup and that was UGH so delicious. Especially on a rainy day (like it was the day I got it). Iced Thai tea is perfect! Owners are super nice. I’ll be coming back here!!!
There was no indoor seating available, however the food was great! The food was prepared quite quickly and the flavor was amazing! Certainly worth a try if you have a nice place to take the food to and eat!
Really nice place on the beach , just the food is under average
Really good pad Thai and crab Rangoons
Wonderful food! The owner is such a nice gent! So pleasant and kind. But, the BEST part, the absolutely AMAZING coconut cake the owner/baker/chef makes! Simply the best coconut cake I have ever had anywhere!!! (Call and order early before it’s all gone, because it goes fast!) 🥰
Everything we ordered was good, but I got the green curry (with tofu) and it was DELICIOUS. Very sweet family running this restaurant as well.
Very bland, and the soup was terrible.
I would not consider this Thai food!
What’s not to love about this place, the owners are friendly and food is always fresh and tasty.
Panang curry was good,but pad Thai was a bit saltier than I like. Nice people !
I order delivery from Happy Elephant at least 2x/month. The food is absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend if you're looking for good local Thai food.
Great food, the best chicken noodle soup I've ever had, and great people who work there. Bonus is that it's a hop, skip, and a jump away.
Wife and I love going here!
This is the first time I can So I got the pad Thai shrimp with mango sticky rice the lady was so fricking nice I had a good talk with her and the food was on point nothing too much or too little just right in my opinion I would recommend coming here again
Their food is so good. Im in love with their pot stickers and spring rolls. The woman working there is always do kind too.
Side note, the art inside the place was drawn by actual elephants. So cool.
I asked for very spicy so they literally put a full cup of crushed peppers in my soup and entree so I had to spit out all these hard seeds. How could somebody come up with such idea, probably they didn't have any spicy sauce so they put whatever they had. The soup didn't have a good taste anyway. Probably the worst Thai food I've eaten so far.
In very late evening, I called from Dallas and randomly picked this restaurant. Because it was close to my brothers place in Chicago area. He was very sick and I ordered 2 chicken noodle and vegetable soups. I added chicken and mixed vegetable with rice too. They delivered it to my brother’s door that late night. Also they made tea for him free of charge because they heard he was sick. This really touched me, because we might find a better restaurant or food, but we rarely find care and love from a restaurant owner.!!
Actually my brother loved their food and again I ordered the same food for him today. So they are great people and have excellent food too.
Food was flavorless and looked NOTHING like the pictures on their menu. Egg rolls reminded me of frozen ones you buy at the store. We ended up tossing most of our $40 dinner in the trash.
My family orders from here all the time. Their food is fantastic. I highly recommend them.
The pad Thai was awesome. Truely the best I have ever had. I travel for a living and I will definitely be back when I am in town again. Highly recommend!
ordered chicken pad thai. this is the second time i ordered it. why does it have chicken AND tofu? maybe you should add that in the description if it’s both. also it was so dry and had no flavor. disappointed and wont be coming back.
I gave it a try after reading some very good reviews. But, it was just OK!
The place is small - i don't think there is 'dine in' option. I ordered takeout anyway. Service was ok. Had to wait for 20-25 mins beyond the indicated pick up time. I did not mind it - happens!
Surprisingly, I found that the prices were on the higher side. And the food lacked that quintessential 'Thai' flavor. I found that 'Thai Garden' or even 'Taste of Thai' had that unique Thai flavor.
Thank you Happy Elephant for delivering in this frigid weather. I look forward to eating your food every time I come back to visit and am never disappointed!
Amazing place. Really love their food and it never disssapoints. I usually order Togo and have never had issues. Highly recommend the pot stickers and the crab rangoon, get one or the other almost every time I order from here. Staff are super friendly and can't wait to go back!
This is my favorite Thai food in the area! The customer service is amazing and it's always a pleasure coming here. Pot stickers and crab Rangoon are fantastic here! I'll usually get the Pad Woonsen or Pad Thai and love both too.
Stopped having lunch special as an offering
I love your Thai iced tea.
Great local spot for take-out! Get their peanut sauce....so delicious. Been ordering from here for years and never had a bad experience. Nice family business. 🙂
very good food for lovers of tai and fast food keep up the good work
Great Thai food
Having experienced food in Thailand. Every time I order from Happy Elephant I’m transported back there. Food is just delicious perfect portions and I forgot to mention I’m celiac and they cooked my food to accommodate, but in doing so they never loose the flavor taste etc.
I have never had a reaction only pure delight. Thank you for transporting this Irish girl back to Thailand days. It’s very rare you get to taste real food from other countries outside of its homeland. But Happy Elephant does this and more.
So I used to go to this Thai place in Addison that had some of the best Thai food and my favorite dish which is drunken noodles. Unfortunately that place closed due to the pandemic. So I have find a new Thai place. Sadly this wasn’t it for me. I ordered my usual dish with shrimp and a coconut shrimp appetizer. The coconut shrimp was the best part. The DN? Well it didn’t taste like the drunken noodles that I usually expect from Thai cuisine. I also tasted pineapple and I never had pineapple on the dish either idk. The noodles were find but the seasonings felt bland. Could have used more. Also the size of the dinner entree dish looked more like a lunch special size potion. SMH. Well at least the coconut shrimp was delicious along with the sweet and sour sauce. Great crunch and flavor. Nice balance. But oh well, I’ll be looking elsewhere for my beloved drunken noodles.
I order my go to Thai dish, Pad Woon Sen, and was disappointed based on the reviews. Glass Noodles were very chewy and overall kind of lacked flavor. I ended up eating half and tossing the rest. I will try once more and update my review if better.
Placed an order on Grubhub for delivery (the restaurant's own delivery driver) and the order was straight up IGNORED by the restaurant. This was my only option for dinner. By the time the order was set to arrive, every other restaurant had closed, including this one. Worst experience I've had with this restaurant. Extremely disappointing.
Delicious food, good prices and super friendly people.
We thought we would try this place again as it had been a few years. Generally we would go to Stir Crazy, Bok Choy, or a couple of others for Tai food. As it was the last time, same problem. The amount of protein they give you for the price is very little. The quality of the dish and flavor good. I always felt cheated when we went there, and no different 2 years later. Shrimp Pad Tai had like 6 small shrimps. Rip off. That will be the last time
After The Last Bite Review -
TL;DR: Service is great and they deliver! Food is delicious and addicting.
Must Try: Chicken Lettuce Wraps
Don't Try: Sticky Wings
Price: ~$10
My Take: Updating Review. 1 year Later.
I regret giving this place a 3 star review 1 year ago. Because the restaurant has been delivering excellent service and delicious thai food this review deserves to be changed. Story, one time my GF and I got this Thai dish and unfortunately we didnt like it. Not that there was something wrong with it but it didnt suit our taste. The lady, I think owner/cook came out and asked how was everything and noticed our untouched dish. She felt bad and offered to cook an entire new dish. This place is fantastic and they deliver! But only within 5 miles!
First time customer and I'll definitely be back. Wanted to order delivery and we were weary of the usual choices. There was something for everyone on the menu. Chicken noodle soup for my wife, chicken pad Thai for my daughter and Ginger Rush with beef for me. When seasonal pumpkin pie was offered, sure... why not? Everything was light, tasty and very fresh. The beef was tender, not cheap and tough like other restaurants. The pumpkin pie was accompanied by a sort of rice dumpling / pudding (?) with a coconut milk sauce. The restaurant name is fitting because the meal literally made me smile... I so enjoyed it. Obviously prepared with care.
Great food, friendly staff.
They don’t wear masks and they touch everything with their hands and the drinks the guy made were not good
Good food
I have been eating here for around 6 years and never had a bad dish. probably my all time favorite place for lunch. Their red curry is the best I've ever had, and I've eaten a lot of curry.
My favorite!! Pad c u with beef is my go to!!!
Food was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Worked with Gary on individually packaged meals for a company event and everything was so organized and delivery was on time- Without a doubt would recommend them and will order from them again.
Nasty nasty nasty! I ordered garlic lover beef absolutely no flavor the most bland Asian food I've ever tried to eat in my life no garlic really just a bowl of liquid with beef and vegetables sitting in it, the beef was like rubber as if it was boild the rice was super bland they put absolutely no salt I mean it's not even Asian its a disgrace flavor wise. NEVER AGAIN. Over priced absolutely horrible flavor....
グリーンカレーをテイクアウトしました。味は本格的でしたが、少し味が薄いかなと思いました。
Great spot for a quick lunch. Spring rolls are addicting! Great value portions.
The people are so kind and welcoming. This is definitely my go-to when I don’t have time to make food for myself. The food is awesome, especially for the price you’re getting it at. They never disappoint. Everybody is so friendly. Definitely would recommend this place. Please be kind to them, they’re honestly the sweetest people.
I'm unhappy! First and last time going here. I thought I'd try it being that it's closer to my home. I'm very confused on how this place has 4-stars. Honestly, it's the worse tasting Thai food I've ever eaten my entire life. The customer service is great. The food is horrible. No flavor at all. There is nothing Thai about this Thai food. The dipping sauce for the egg rolls is as thin as water. I'm so mad I spent $40 in this place. $40 dollars down the drain plus my tip!!!
We (and our budget) leave happier than the elephant. The only problem is deciding what to order because everything is our favorite ! And we have had EVERYTHING ! Owners are the chefs and make sure your dish is made the way YOU want it! Great caring hardworking family you want to be friends with!
Not authentic, pricey
Great food as usual customer service very professional. Family oriented people ❤ owner is down to earth.
Always wonderful food and service and with a smile 🤩🏆🏆🏆🏆🙌🏼 !!!!
We really love this place! The food is great, the people are fantastic. It’s our all around favorite spot. We went vegan for lent and happy elephant has some great options. If you’re not sure, just ask! They were so knowledgeable and helpful with certain dietary preferences.
Vegan go to: SPICY tofu pad Thai, crispy egg rolls, fresh egg rolls and “tasty tofu” app. (Ask for no eggs in all) Extra side of peanut sauce, delish.
Nice place for good Thai food 👌
SUPER nice owner and excellent food. Attentive service, high quality and tasty food. Don't forget the Thai Iced Tea! ❤️
Food tasted dry like it sat out for a while. Not worth $55
Exceptional food, service and pricing. Highly recommend.
Delicious food, exceptional service. Happy Elephant is my absolute favorite!
The food prices are reasonable and the portion size is great. The pad thai I ordered tastes great, and I look forward to trying more dishes from here in the future!
Good food and service, very kind staff. Love the Thai Iced Tea!!!
Fast. And everything we try here is super delicious every single time!
The food is ALWAYS great! The staff is friendly and helpful, my go to place for Thai Food 🐘😊
Always on point and good for many years👍.
The fried rice was greasy and the garlic lovers with vegetables and beef was gross. The beef was tough, the broccoli was under cooked and the too many green peppers. Never again
The food is really good and you get a lot of it for the money. I recommend this little Thai gem.
very disappointing, everything end up in the garbage
Ordered Cashew chicken w cashews & pineapple delivery during pandemic. 'Thinking to support local buisness. Big mistake! There was 2 cashews in the SMALL SIZE dinner entree that we paid 11$$ for! Thai food is supposed to have a a spice. Nope! This food was a bland as water. The delivery person looked like he crawled out of a homeless tent. We had cash in hand to tip. He bullied us to put the tip on the receipt! I will be calling our bank. This place is not worth it. Move on.
We eat here on a regular basis and enjoy all the food we get. The peanut sauce and lime sauce are delicious!
This place is just ok. I had gotten the pot stickers and beef pad thai. The pot stickers were good. The pad thai was just ok. It didn't have that much beef and it was pretty bland. The service was decent. The dine in portion of the restaurant is pretty small. It seems like they do more take out than dine in. I think that Dan Thai in Schaumburg is better.
I am highly disappointed, I came in to grab lunch and take it to work. It was my first time ever coming into this restaurant, I ordered pad Thai with chicken and I have never had complaints no matter where I have went. The pad Thai was beyond dry, barely any chicken, and no flavor. I brought it back after work about 3-4 hours later and let them know that it wasn’t good and I wanted to return it. The owner didn’t show one ounce of concern with the fact that I sat at work and didn’t eat anything because the pad Thai they made was terrible! Customer service is key and I will let the rest of my office at work know the lack of good quality service that I received when coming back in after work. They didn’t try to make it better for me, or even offer me something for the Inconvience. A simple “I apologize or let’s try to fix this would have been enough for me.” After I got my receipt for the refund, they didn’t even say anything to me, so I just stood there shocked and walked out. I will never bring business to this establishment again and I hope they learn how to treat and greet unsatisfied customers.
Opens at 11:30. Been calling since then and it is now 12:15. the line was either busy or they never answered. Don’t bother since they don’t want customers. Completely ridiculous.
I've eaten here 5 times and the service has always been very good. My favorite is the drunken noodles. The flat noodles are insanely good.
Their penang doesn't even taste like penang; and they charge way too much for portions that are half the size of any other restaurant.
Recommend highly, great food, consistent, and wonderful service!
Discovered this place via GrubHub and it was good, good was hot, fresh, and crispy. Tonight we decided to go there, and the food was like warm at best. However, the flavor was good. Dining lights are full brightness; should be dimmed a little. Service was good.
It was ok
Really delicious thai food
Best Vietnamese food. I highly recommend, everything is made to order.
I had a forchen cookie and it tasted like cardboard the chicken was dry and the rice was all wet I highly suggest don't go here
Cozy and food very good
Delicious
Food was good. Loud mouth a.h. ruined the atmosphere. Took our food to go.
The food and service from every member of Happy Elephant is excelent
First time going here and I will be back. I ordered for pick up but the ambience makes me want to dine-in. Great food! Great customer service.
Food needs to be more original not store bought and cooked..
Good food and clean place. Nice lunch special menu option and pricing.
Completely dissatisfied with my food. This was my first visit and the last. For what I paid and what I received is ridiculous, and it was microwaved.
Great place to enjoy smthing different but affordable
I was driving by and noticed the sign. I had a taste for Thai food. The waiter gave me a dinner menu instead of a lunch and later argued with me about it after I had ordered and paid from the dinner menu meal. But when I got the dish, Beef and Broccoli it was poorly made, little taste, no sauce but some water with small flavor. Veges seemed to be old as they were really limp without good color. Undoubtedly one of the worst ever Beef and Broccoli I've had in over 40 years. I don't know why some have given good marks for this strip restaurant but I will never eat there again. Almost forgot, the dish for eating the meal was dirty from the last meal, not washed well & had dried scum on it, so I ate off of the serving dish. Yuck
One of the best Tum Yum Soup I ever had
with Straw Mushrooms
Spicy chicken Basil also excellent choice
Highly recommend
I like this place the food was good this is the best Thai food I found in Illinois. The peanut sauce and chicken was delicious the Thai fried rice another good choice. folks check them out it's great place to try.
Great food, great service, great place to eat!
Always an awesome time! The owners are welcoming and very kind. I wish I could go daily
Pretty good food
Food was ok server was nice
So delicious and I love the energy in this place which was calm and just a perfect level of chill needed in the middle of a chaotic Friday. I had Penang with chicken and pot-stickers with a perfectly warm and delicious sauce.
Quick service & absolutely delicious food!!
Cool.
Mom and pop shop! Delicious food! Best Thai food I have had since my return from living in Thailand. I especially enjoy the panang curry with pineapple and the lime chicken. Padwoonsen is amazing too. And their soup. And their drinks. And their apps. And the dessert!!! Love it all!!! The staff is amazing! 10/10 WILL return! You can also double your meat portion for just a couple bucks!
Worst Thai food I ever had, enough said.
Best crab Ragu and shrimp ! Good food and service with a smile!
Buenísimo restaurant con un menú variado y delicioso
Had a great time
The owners are wonderful and very welcoming. Best tai food I ever had. Check out their chicken soup if you have a cold, Ming makes it like a DR's perception it is a healer. You can ask for changes in the preparation if you are allergic to some thing.. They are very accommodating.
Good food and service. Not a ton of seating, but we got in and served pretty quick. Will be returning another day
Good quality food and fast service.
