The food was a little pricey for local and western cuisine. Nasi lemak with grill chicken for RM 20 is a bit expensive. Nachos taste a bit better than Uncle Don's. Worst was the drinks, I paid RM 3.90 for A&W root beer and I just got a glass of it mostly ice, they should have gave the whole tin for that price. Taste wise it was ok la nothing special. Service was decent but it's not worth 6% service tax, as ordering was done via an online service and the staff just bring us the food that's all. Environment wise, it was decent and clean, they have like that little gloomy feel but they did compensate it with some lighting. They should try different colors palettes for a more lively environment. Parking was plentyand easy to get. Overall I would go back maybe sometimes to try different items on their menu but with the price, I could get better value elsewhere like Brewhouse or something.

Tasty food and nice ambiance but just slightly pricey for the quality and experience. Tried their nachos supreme, PPG beef burger and nasi lemak grilled chicken. The burger and nasi lemak was just average but the nachos was actually quite nice. Better than uncle dons as far as taste. Ambiance was nothing special and place was relatively clean. Would go again to try their other items for sure. My only recommendation is that their restrooms need to be renovated and have better ventilation.

Food sedab. Portion wise worth the money. Air pun sedab. Ada prayer room yang bersih for patrons convenient nak solat at dinner time. Memang boleh repeat ! Recommended ! Update : I came again this time with the whole family. Complementary to the chefs and whole crew. We had a fantastic lunch. Alhamdulillah. Food and drink are super delicious, every plate is prepped well. Semua dish sedap. Semua food delivery lancar, very organized and pro team. No messed up order despite the big patrons coming all at once. Thank you.
