Small little place with probably a dozen tables. We met the owner. She is retiring from her regular job in May and this was always a dream of hers, so I wish her much success. Right now they are running a small menu. Today it had 4 items on it. We both chose the gyro. I thought it had good flavor. The pita broke apart on us so it got messy.

But when you're approaching the half-century mark, life starts revolving around exciting things like **annual physicals, cholesterol numbers, and oil changes**. Yesterday we had a check-up appointment in Jamestown and I thought, "You know what pairs nicely with preventative healthcare? A massive lunch." So off we went. Before arriving, I checked out their website and immediately had a problem... **I wanted to order everything.** This menu is **extensive**. We're talking the kind of menu where you start reading and eventually forget why you opened it in the first place. Starters Just casually starting the meal with a **munitions depot** apparently: * Homemade Chips & Salsa * Loaded Tator Bombs * Cheese Bombs * Garlic Dough Bombs *(seriously... enough bombs... choose love over violence )* * Bavarian Pretzel Sticks * Hot Honey Fries * Buffalo Chicken Dip * "The Bomb" Sampler... again with the bombs * Pizza Pretzels Quesadillas * Chicken & Cheese * Chicken Parm * Chicken Bacon Ranch * **Philly Dilla** (Yes. Immediately yes.) Handhelds * Italian Stallion * Buffalo Chicken Wrap * Shrimp or Fried Grouper Tacos * Chicken Caesar Wrap * Nashville Hot Sandwich * Club Wrap * **The RBF** - Roast Beef with melted provolone, giardiniera *(still not 100% sure what that is)* and parmesan on a hoagie roll Burgers Now we're talking. * Basic B - 1/3 lb Angus beef, mayo, cheese * Jasper Burger - pepper jack, bacon, jalapeño, Carolina gold sauce, "the garden" * Bacon Be Jammin Burger - bacon jam AND four strips of bacon * Big Daddy Burger - two 1/3 lb patties with bourbon sauce * Patty Melt - Texas toast, grilled onions, American & Swiss And the best part... **Every sandwich comes with fries or tots at no extra charge.** You know... **the way God and Ronald Reagan intended.** Brick Oven Fired Pizza 14" pies with garlic butter crust dusted with parmesan. This menu reads like a **2000s hip-hop playlist**. * Cheese-us Walks * H to the Ezzo *(Columbus-made Ezzo Pepperoni)* * 2 Legit to Quit * Coming Back to Philly * Baby I Got Your Honey with Mike's Hot Honey * Let's Talk Supreme, Baby * Drop It Like It's Hot * California Love *(for those that squat to pee)* * I Like It When You Call Me Big BBQ * **Nothin' But a Meat Thang** - loaded with all the meats... I'll leave the joke right there before Facebook suspends me * Hungry Like a Wolf Salads For those who hate flavor. * House * Caesar * Crisp Greens * Cobb * Buffalo * Italian Let's be honest. A salad is a salad. It's green. It's crunchy. It's what people order when they're pretending to be responsible. Chicken add on's - Grilled.......or Fried! Nothing screams **"healthy life choices"** quite like ordering a salad topped with **fried chicken**. The menu also notes the **ranch is house made**. Yes. Please. Immediately. Soup of the Day Every time I see "Soup du Jour" I immediately hear the **Dumb and Dumber** line... *"That's the soup of the day."* *"Mmm... that sounds good. I'll have that."* #IknowEveryLine Chicken Options * Boneless Wings * Bone-In Wings * Chicken Tenders Sauces include: Garlic Parmesan, BBQ Honey, Buffalo, Teriyaki, Mango Habanero, Jamaican Jerk, Nashville Hot, Bourbon, Spicy Garlic, Sweet Buffalo and Dry Rub. Basically **flavor for every personality disorder**. The Journey There We plugged the address into Waze and headed out for what turned into a pleasant country drive. Eventually Waze directed us to a sign for Jasper Hills Golf Club, not a member, followed by a left turn into what can only be described as an "upper middle class neighborhood." How do I know? Big Houses, One with a matching swing set. That's big money territory. #BigMoney At the end of the road sits a building that honestly looks a bit like someone's house with a large parking lot. Now sometimes I'm not the brightest bulb in the chandelier... but luckily we were in the right place. Don't be shy - head in. Inside The interior was bright, open, and inviting with plenty of seating. Eventually the dining room filled up with guests. Our server - Hannah greeted us quickly, took our drink orders, and was fantastic the entire time. Also worth mentioning: **Restrooms were clean and spacious**.

Let's start from the great. We loved the fried oyster mushrooms!…read more We really wanted to love the food here due to our shared aethnic roots in more than one direction, but we felt somethings were missed. I do like creative explorations of culinary crossovers and fusion, but some thing are best left authentic with experimentation done along the edges. Being used to Indian cuisine, the chaat was not exactly what we expected, and the Sabich was missing one of the main ingredients (hard boiled egg) and just had large slices of fried eggplant over a thin garnish of fresh vegies rather than a shepherd's salad. It came with a side of humus and a mango chutney which I assume was supposed to be a substitite for the traditionally sour and umami tasting fermented mango (Amba) sauce. It was almost like they were going through the motions of the ingredients, not their culinary role and effect. Amba is supposed to give a counter-punch of strong curry flavor to the smoothness of humus. I felt a sweet mild mango chutney, even though they are both technically mango chutneys, missed the point entirely. In my opinion they need to re-think their dishes from scratch. I do believe they can do it and do great if they go back to the basics. I wish them the best of luck from the bottom of my heart! The service was very nice and friendly! We loved the staff! The decore is lovely and I liked the progressive conscientious political activism it projected.
