Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions asked by our customers
What is the current dining room setup?
We do not take reservations or sit incomplete parties. Our max table capacity is 8 people, any parties larger than 8 will be seated separately. A gratuity of 18% is included on all parties of 5 or more. We ask that all customers be considerate of their time at the table & allow other customers the opportunity to sit down & eat.
On weekends we ask all customers waiting for a table will wait outside. Servers will be outside for customers placing take-out orders or picking up phone orders.
What time do we stop serving breakfast?
Breakfast is served ALL day until close. Beginning June 1 we will be transitioning back to our normal business hours. Tuesday – Sunday 6:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.
Do we sit large parties?
Due to the size of our dining room & to provide the best experience for all of our customers we will no longer sit parties larger than 8. Please be mindful as we are removing tables from our dining room we will have less options to seat large parties therefore the wait time will be longer. We are happy to separate larger parties. However, we will not sit incomplete parties.
Where do we wait for a table?
On weekends customers are encouraged to wait outside in their vehicles or on our patio along the westside of the building facing Enterprise. Customers will receive a text when their table is ready.
Can we make phone orders?
Phone orders can be made from 6:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Tuesday – Sunday. Upon placing your order we will ask for name & phone order. We will continue to have servers outside to handle phone-orders.
*Smaller portions & child’s plates are not available for take-out*
What is the packaging fee on my receipt?
Unfortunately due to COVID 19 we have seen prices triple for all paper goods. Napkins, toilet paper, cups, lids, bags, foil, sugar packets, salt & pepper packets, and any plastic ware. The supply chain issues have made it very challenging for small businesses and the packaging fee helps to offset the price increase we see as a small business. Packaging fee is 3% of the total bill.
