Pro Tips

  1. 1.Request a booth when you arrive,they're much easier to manage with young children than the high-top tables
  2. 2.The Pizookie (deep-dish cookie dessert) is large enough to share among 3-4 kids, saving money and preventing sugar overload
  3. 3.Avoid peak dinner hours (6-7:30pm on weekends) as wait times can stretch 30-45 minutes even with the spacious dining room
  4. 4.Kids meals come with a drink and side, making them a solid value at this price point
  5. 5.Download their app ahead of time to join the waitlist remotely if visiting during busy times

Best Time to Visit

Weekday lunches (11:30am-1pm) or early dinners (4:30-5:30pm) offer the shortest wait times and a quieter atmosphere. Sunday mid-afternoons are also less crowded than typical weekend dinner rushes.

What to Know

Expect to spend $10-15 per adult entree and $6-8 for kids meals. The restaurant has ample free parking in the shopping center lot, and highchairs and booster seats are readily available.

Seasonal Notes

No major seasonal variations, though the restaurant can get busier during holiday shopping seasons since it's located in a retail area. Summer weekday lunches tend to be less crowded.
