About Us
Our restaurant was founded on the idea that quality meals should not have to be overly expensive. We wanted to create a family friendly environment where you could come and enjoy a gourmet meal without breaking the bank. We pride ourselves in having a vast menu so that you never feel limited, but rather empowered. Our steaks, burgers, and chicken are all charbroiled to give the flavor an extra umph! We now have two open locations in San Jose and Castro Valley. Our restaurant constantly goes through a multitude of changes and adjustments, becuase we believe there is always room for improvement!
