A+ Excellent everything! Superb service, food and atmosphere. Waitstaff was very welcoming, friendly and efficient. The menu is large and the prices are fair. Food and chips were fresh and they have a salsa bar. The place is clean and and you can tell the owner/operators take pride in their work. My family had a great experience here and we'll definitely be back every time we pass through Pineville. Highly recommend.
