“I stopped in to check out the restaurant and find out what they had to offer. I was impressed with the many different meals that they offer and the concept of paying what you can, pay the value of the meal, or pay a little more than the value towards a meal for someone in need. Truly a warm friendly atmosphere.” —Sandra
