The majority of the staff are college students, so leave 18%-20%. And if you can't tip...stay at home.

Onion rings and chicken fried steak
Genna SpeedSeptember 1, 2014
The onion rings and beef tenderloin sandwich are good, but everything is priced really high. The mixed drinks are not worth it. Stick with a bottled beer. Not worth coming back.

Dessert tip: The Fudge Pie is good, but misleading. It's basically a brownie, not like Fudge. Not my favorite, but it tasted good.
