First time we had lunch and it was excellent. Burgers, sweet potato fries, tuna sandwich.<br>Staff was very nice.

The dining hours are shorter than advertised, ending too early so the staff can leave. It sucks to be forced to eat by 5pm. I get treated poorly by the staff if I walk in 1 minute after 5pm.
