Recently, when my friend came in to get her tooth pulled, she was severely misgendered and mistreated by the staff due to their own personal prejudices. Absolutely unacceptable, will not be allowing my family to have any work done here any longer due to the horrible attitudes of staff towards others that are different than them.

Kitchen inspections are always a pain. Got inspected by Jesse today and he was very respectful and helpful! I always appreciate how Brice and the other inspectors are very kind and helpful! From past experiences in a previous state other than Maryland, any type of "health inspection" was someone being very rude and not much fun at all!! Keep the good work up guys! I appreciate what your doing!
