"Existe un menú del día muy variado. En el mismo menú cada día de la semana hay un plato especial como primer plato. La comida es casera y es buena pero, la guarnición de los platos es de ensalada y patatas fritas. Yo fuí con mi familia y tengo dos niños pequeños cuando llegaron las croquetas en la guarnición había remolacha y tiñó el plato manchando un poquito las croquetas y claro... Es un restaurante de comida para trabajadores y transportistas de menús diarios, para mi eso no es ningún problema. Aconsejo comer allí si os pilla de paso."

"Muy bien sitio para comer menú del dia. Los platos son generosos 4 primeros con ensaladas y platos de cuchara . 4 o 5 segundos entre carnes y pescados fritos y a la plancha. Patatas caseras y variedad de postres todo por 11 €. Ya se donde parar para cualquier dia de trabajo en la zona."

"Lo que puedo valorar es lo máximo que me espero de un sitio cuando me dan lo que necesito. Iba de viaje largo, necesitábamos parar, dar un estirón de piernas y entretener a la niña y lo encontramos. Buen trato, pedimos un bocadillo frio a deshora de cocina y estaba muy bueno y el trato fue excelente. No puedo valorar sus comidas pero cuando vas a un sitio se intuye, y aquí no parecen que sean malas."

"Buena opción de paso , nada complicado al salir de la autovía. Menú muy bueno en el relación precio/ calidad. El aliño de pimientos , exquisito. Los boquerones , buenísimos, buen producto solo le faltaría un poco más de sal. Si tuviese que poner una pega es el ambiente de frío que hay en el comedor , si calefacción ni similar, pero esto fácil solucionar. Recomiendo el sitio."

"Vamos de viaje y acabamos de parar a comer. Somos dos adultos y dos niños.Es un restaurante sencillo, pero hemos comido muy muy bien. El pescado y los calamares son caseros y frescos. Y la ensalada de pimientos espectacular. Son platos abundantes. De postre pedimos puding, y no pudimos terminarlo,ya que ponen un trozo muy generoso. Queremos dar un agradecimiento especial a la camarera y a los de cocina por hacer el esfuerzo de hacernos un plato fuera de menú, para uno de nuestros hijos. Servicio muy amable. Muchas gracias a todos."
