    Tell your momma to wear a helmet if you take her here to eat because it is quite literally “slap yo mama” good!!! I had a Gyro and fries and I have traveled all 50 states. I challenge anyone to find a better Gyro! The hand cut fries were on point and crispy delishy.::It’s a family run place with a yummy and eclectic menu and when I say family run I mean all of the kids are here putting in work! The homemade ranch I had was straight and made by their 15 YO son from scratch…yeah he’s a ranch baller! The building is very unassuming from the outside but don’t get it twisted if you are anywhere within an hour of this place passing through it’s your loss for not taking a short detour. Not sure how these folks with no restaurant experience are making food this good other than divine intervention and hard work and a heck of a great attitude! Can’t wait to come back!

    Hard to find when you aren’t from here. But once you do, well worth it. Run by a nice family. Great service and family, friendly environment. I’m be heard great things about the pasta, but I came for the Italian sandwich. It was served in fresh, baked focaccia bread. I opted for the upgraded fries with truffle aioli. Mmmmmm. Mmmmmm. Will definitely be returning in my lunch break in the future.

    Really cute place! The food was great and the young folks working at the counter taking orders were very sweet and friendly. Generous portions and the prices were awesome. Will definitely be back next time we are in Licking.

    We walked in after our daughters' softball game. There were at least 20 of us, including parents and kids. The staff was ready to serve and they did. Super attitudes and good food. We will be back!
