Found this spot randomly, driving through sonora. Cute little spot. Next to a game room. Food was good. We also had wings, and they were delicious but didn't take a picture of them because they were gone before I could snap one. Cute little pit stop to take the kids. The worker was very friendly and made us great food. I would definitely stop again.

I got a pastrami sandwich. Staff was kind. Sandwich filling was good and the sandwich was very big. The bread was stale like it was a day or two old.

Joshua Calder

Decent Ice Cream. Didn’t try any sandwich. Ambiance is poor to good: Old Pool Hall in need of work. Bad location due to poor/no signage. Still, worth it for Ice Cream.

I'd love to give this place a higher grade...but doing so wouldn't be informative. This is a new location. I'm not sure if they are directly connected to the Game Room next door or not, but all the signage points to outdoor seating. The weather was pleasant, so this wasn't the problem. The biggest issue that staff weren't really aware of customers. There is a bell next to the order window they seem to rely very heavily upon to be notified of new customers. The problem is that the bell isn't that obvious. There is clear text on it saying to "Ring for Service"...but, it looks more like decoration if you aren't paying attention. There was random project items left in full view...but obviously not being actively used. (Paint tray, brushes, paint, sand bag, shovel, etc.) It makes one wonder how well things are being run in the back. The two staff members I saw were a little frumpy. It was minor, but a slight improvement in this area would make the establishment look far more professional. Because it wasn't clear if the two businesses were related, it wasn't readily apparent whether there was indoor seating, a restroom, etc. The Game Room or the place next to it had multiple hanging planters. This beautified the area, but the irrigation tubing needs some policing. There are multiple dripper heads hanging at head level and dripping on the walkway and the end is similarly hanging free. Some of these need hanging planters or plugged and the end needs to be tied up. They are working in a terrible location...maybe worse than their previous one. They aren't really visible from the road and this means far less traffic than they would have in a prime location. I feel for them and really wish them the best. Here are my suggestions: 1) Set up a sensor that automatically alerts staff to customers entering area. 2) Provide staff with company uniforms and require a certain level of grooming. 3) Make larger portions for the desserts. 4) Keep project supplies out of sight. 5) Tie up and plug dripper tubing.
