Getting here.

Our building sits on the east side of South Saginaw Road, just south of the US-10 interchange. If you are coming from downtown Midland, head south on Saginaw for about two and a half miles and we will be on your left, right before the light at Patrick Road. From US-10, take the Eastman Avenue exit, turn south toward the mall, and then merge onto Saginaw Road heading south.

There is a dedicated parking lot in front of the restaurant with roughly thirty spaces, plus a second row in the back that is available after 5:00 PM when the neighboring business closes. Parking is free and does not require a permit or a validation ticket. If the front lot is full on a Friday night — and it often is — pull around to the back. There is almost always a spot.

Parking.

The front lot is level and directly connected to the sidewalk leading to our entrance. Two spaces near the door are reserved for guests with ADA permits. Overflow parking in the back is reachable by a short walk around the building, and the walkway is lit after dark.

Accessibility.

Our entrance is step-free, and the dining room is fully accessible to wheelchairs and strollers. We have a dedicated accessible restroom with grab bars. If there is anything we can do to make your visit easier — a quieter table, a specific seat, help reading the menu — please ask at the front. Our staff is trained to help and will not make it awkward. See our full accessibility statement for details.

Public transit and rideshare.

Midland's public transit system does not serve this stretch of Saginaw Road directly, but both Uber and Lyft pick up and drop off reliably from our address. If you are using a rideshare after a late dinner, ask the driver to pull into the front lot rather than the shoulder — the shoulder is not a safe pickup point.

Before you come in.

A few practical things that make a visit smoother:

  • Parties of six or more should call ahead or book a reservation. Walk-ins are welcome, but we cannot always seat a large group immediately at peak dinner hours, and we would rather tell you that before you drive over.
  • Takeout orders placed online are ready in about 25 minutes during normal hours and a little longer on Friday and Saturday nights. Pickup is at the front counter; we do not use a drive-thru.
  • Large catering orders (20+ guests) need 48 hours' notice. Visit our catering page for the full menu.
  • Alcohol service ends at 9:00 PM, and we are required to check ID for anyone who appears to be under forty. Please bring yours.
  • Dogs are welcome on our small front patio during the warmer months, but not inside the dining room. Service animals are always welcome inside, of course.

If you have a question that is not answered here, our FAQ covers the most common ones, or you can contact us directly.
