To my amazing team,

I know some of the comments being made on social media have been difficult to read, and I want you to know something very important: those comments do not define you.

I have seen your hard work, your dedication, and the way you’ve cared for our customers over the years. I’ve watched you show up on the busiest days, work through rough challenges, and help make this business what it has been for so many years. No handful of negative comments can erase that.

For almost two decades, together we’ve built something truly special. We didn’t just run a business—we created a place where friendships were made, families gathered, memories were created, and people felt welcomed. That is something no negative comment can ever take away.

Unfortunately, people online often don’t know the full story, and it’s easy for negativity to spread. I ask that you don’t let those comments steal your pride or your peace. Hold your head high. You have nothing to be ashamed of.

I couldn’t be more grateful for each of you—both our current team and those who have been part of this family over the years. Thank you for everything you’ve given. I’m proud to have worked alongside you, and I hope you’re proud of what we’ve built together.

Please take care of yourselves, support one another, and remember that your character is shown by the work you’ve done every day—not by the opinions of strangers on the internet.

Thank you for being an incredible team.

After nearly 20 incredible years, we have made the difficult decision to close our restaurant. Our final day of business will be Friday, August 14th, at 8:00 PM.

This has been one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make. This restaurant has been so much more than a business—it has been a part of our family, our lives, and our hearts. While it’s difficult to say goodbye, we truly believe God is leading us into a new journey, and we are trusting Him with whatever comes next. 🙏

Over the past 20 years, we’ve been blessed beyond measure. We’ve watched children grow into adults, celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, and milestones, comforted one another through difficult times, shared countless laughs, and built friendships that will last a lifetime. What began as a dream became a place where people gathered, and that happened because of you.

To our loyal customers, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. ❤️ You welcomed us into your lives, supported us year after year, recommended us to your family and friends, and made this little restaurant feel like home. Every meal shared, every conversation, every smile, and every memory will stay with us forever.

To our incredible staff, past and present there are simply not enough words. ❤️ Thank you for your dedication, your hard work, and your loyalty. You showed up every day and poured your hearts into serving others. You weren’t just employees—you became family, and we will always be grateful for each one of you.

Although this chapter of our lives is ending, the memories we’ve made together never will. They will stay with us for the rest of our lives, and we will always be thankful that God allowed us to serve this community for nearly two decades.

Before we lock the doors one final time, we’d love the chance to celebrate with the people who made all of this possible.

🎉 Please join us on Saturday, August 15th, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM for a farewell celebration.

Come share a meal 🍽️, hug an old friend 🤗, tell a few stories, laugh with us, and celebrate nearly 20 unforgettable years.

🍔🥤 All food and drinks will be free as our small way of saying thank you for the love and support you’ve shown us throughout the years.

To everyone who has ever walked through our doors—whether it was once or a hundred times—thank you. You gave us more than a successful business. You gave us friendships, purpose, memories, and a lifetime of gratitude.

We leave with full hearts, endless appreciation, and faith that God is already preparing what’s next. ❤️

With love and gratitude,

Jason & Darlene Bailey ❤️
