    The Kennedy family has owned this restaurant since 1957. You can taste the love in their food and the service is always flawless. I've been coming here with my family since I was in my Mom's belly :)

    The beans here are awesome. Reminds me of my hometown San Antonio tex mex. Plus the Kennedy family are wonderful folks. Good margs too. :-)

    Mediocre food, but they give you a piece of sugar candy with the check, just like grandma used to make.
