Reviews
- estival_beechFound this place just passing by and honestly wasn't expecting much but wow, it was actually really good. The iron pot stew came out smelling amazing — pork ribs were falling off the bone and full of flavor, and the potatoes and green beans had soaked up all that broth which was so good. The corn cakes stuck to the side of the pot were crispy outside and soft inside, dipping them in the soup was honestly so satisfying. Place was clean inside, the wooden tables and chairs gave it a cozy vibe, perfect for hanging out with friends. Staff were friendly too and food came out pretty fast. Overall super comfortable meal, I'd definitely come back.
