My husband and I have been here several times and had a WONDERFUL experience each time. If cooking the meat in the vegetable oil is too much for some people, they also have an option to cook the meat in chicken broth. It's still delicious- but so much healthier!

I made reservations for a Friday night at 7, just about the time... more

Good food, but I would never want to eat there with the lights fully on. All that grease cooking on every table, it has got to be pretty dingy. more
