I really liked it. Food is vibrant looking, and yummy. A tad pricey, but not a big deal. It's not a hidden gem, but kind of is. You wouldn't think being off the highway on the side of a gas station that you could get kind food like that, so it's pretty sweet. Staff are super nice locals as well. They do have a patio, but I have only eaten inside.
