Inside Scoop

Be prepared for cash or e-transfer only.
The space is small with plastic tables, so focus on the food, not the ambiance.
It's a known local spot and can get busy, but the wait is usually worth it.
The hot sauces have a real kick to them.
They sometimes close earlier than posted hours, so plan to arrive well before closing.
