    Great menu choices. Love the patio option for good weather, but ate inside this time. Had the beet salad with shrimp add-on. It was absolutely delicious.

    What a hidden gem! Great tasting food, excellent service, and huge portions. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Everything was unique and fresh. I ordered the house salad. Very fresh and tasty. The salad could serve 4 people! My friend ordered the spring chicken sandwich with onion straws. Stating the sandwich was the best she ever had! My mom and sister ordered the Folsom chicken sandwich with onion straws and fries. Everything was mouth watering they said! Packed with flavor! The strawberry rhubarb pie and carrot cake were so delicious! I don’t even eat that pie annd I enjoyed it. BCP snacks were out of this world! Moe excellent service! Great waiter who was genuine and fun! Thank you!😊
