A very pleasant surprise. First time in the area, needed to find somewhere to eat, Google, then this place was less than .2 miles from where we were. So...give it a try and...it's wonderful! Relatively small, cottage-style family atmosphere, excellent choices on menu, all self-prepared and delicious. The people running it are delightful and welcoming.

Quaint little spot tucked away from the road, I would have never known it was here if a friend didn’t suggest it! I was a PITA customer asking about the size of the celery in their chicken salad & they handled me with grace & offered to have the celery removed for me. My sandwich was delicious & came with a small bag of chips. I found the value to be very good.

Have you ever just wanted to be in a comfortable place for lunch where you can get some nice soup and a sandwich or a salad? This is the place. In this comfortable cozy small restaurant you're able to get a perfect lunch for almost any occasion. If you're stopping for a business lunch with a colleague it works. If you were a family and you need to grab a bite before errands it works. If you are individual and you just want to have a nice lunch it works. The menu was accommodating. I believe they make one of the best burgers in Baltimore. They also make it terrific gyro. And the kebabs are very nice. Most important it is affordable. Do not hesitate to come down and see for yourself.
