This place is nice for guys and friends getting together. I've never seen families, girlfriends or wives there. It's a place to hang out and play games like cards, bingo, backgammon. They have a small nice kitchen operated by family which is very clean. They don't have a big menu but the food is very good. They're open for takeout until midnight
