MY WIFE JULIE USED TO WORK AT THE CHARLOTTE COUNTRY CLUB.  JOEL HAS A MASTERS FOOD SERVICE CERTIFICATE FROM CORNELL.  OTHERS  HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY TRYING TO REPLICATE OUR FOOD, ALBEIT WITH MEDIOCRE SUCCESS.  HOWEVER,  THEY WILL FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO COPY MY FAMILY.  I ALSO SURROUND MYSELF WITH A WONDERFUL AND COMPETENT STAFF, WHO MAKES ME LOOK GOOD EVERYDAY AND MOST OF WHOM HAVE BEEN WITH US FOR YEARS.

OUR MISSION IS  TO PROVIDE THE BEST VALUE FOR YOUR TIME AND MONEY IN A CASUAL, NON-PRETENTIOUS, NO FRILLS ATMOSPHERE.   LIKE YOU,  WE HAVE BEEN HIT BY THE ECONOMIC SLOWDOWN.    HANG IN THERE.  IT WILL BE OVER SOON, LORD WILLING.   REST ASSURED HOWEVER, THAT DESPITE THE INCREASED COST OF DOING BUSINESS, WE DO NOT RAISE OUR PRICES, NOR REDUCE  OUR FOOD PORTIONS.  BTW, I MADE THIS WEBSITE MYSELF AND WOULD LIKE TO APOLOGIZE FOR ANY TYPOS.

IN BEHALF OF MY FAMILY AND OUR STAFF -  YOURS MOST SINCERELY,

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD, FAMILY - OWNED & OPERATED, INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES.  WELCOME TO OUR HOME, AND YOURS.
