Hiya, Angela Hider here! My true passion lies in diving headfirst into a sea of colors, which is why I've dedicated myself to curating an array of exclusive, one-of-a-kind creations designed to saturate not only my existence but also the lives of those who surround me with the glorious spectrum of hues.

A Little Piece of Heaven!
This place is yummy! The meat was juicy and the fries were full of creamy flavor. Nothing on the menu is healthy, but you don’t go there for that. You go for the comfort of a full on burger, their specialty fries and a nice cold craft beer. Go visit them if your in the…
