Many love the nostalgic, old-school feel of the building and the generous portion sizes. Visitors appreciate the central location and fast turnaround, even during busy concert nights.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the wait times can stretch during peak hours, especially on weekends. The space can get a bit tight and loud, so it may not suit those seeking a quiet dinner. Also, the deep-dish style means food takes a little longer to bake—plan accordingly if you're in a rush.
