Lots of food. My 92 year old mother said their homemade chips were the best she ever had. We split a sandwich. The chips are really good. Alicia was our waitress. Restaurant recently remodeled has strong retro 1960s vibe but with big screen TVs. One screen was set to.cartoons and the children at the next table were quiet watching it intently. The rest to news and sports.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Food, Friendly People — Hidden Gem! I’m in town on business and stumbled upon CRUST KITCHEN—so glad I did. I ordered the chicken pesto pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The crust had the perfect crunch, the pesto was fresh and flavorful, and the toppings were generous and balanced. You could tell it was made with quality ingredients and attention to detail. The service was solid. Everyone was friendly and helpful, and the whole place had a welcoming, laid-back vibe. I had a brief chat with the owner, who was incredibly nice and shared that this is a family-owned spot. You can really feel the pride and effort they put into everything. It’s clear they’re trying hard to do their best, and it shows. Honestly, it should have been busier—a place with food and service this good deserves more foot traffic. If you’re local, check it out and bring a friend. Supporting small businesses like this one matters. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to come back since I’m only here for work, but I’ll definitely be recommending it to others.

This place was such an amazing experience! We were staying next door and wanted to try something new, I was absolutely amazed the place is so well maintained and it was beautiful inside. The food was also great and we had a very nice server. Would recommend this to anyone.

Came here for lunch. We ordered burgers and fries, loaded potatoes Toto’s, chicken Alfredo and pizzas. Food was good, service was good. I really like the chicken Alfredo especially.

Located on Hotel Cir by Atwood Hotel along Interstate 8. Plenty of parking and near many hotels. I came here because I wanted a good Angus Burger, but this place has such a big variety of food items such as 'Pizza, pasta, sandwiches, burgers, breakfast, and dinner plates'. I tried their 'Crust Burger' which is served with fries. The burger was delicious! The bun was perfectly toasted on the outside yet soft inside. Their fries are so yummy, seasoned just right. For dessert, I had their 'Carrot Cake' which went perfectly with my meal. That was one of the best carrot cakes I've ever had. The restaurant is clean with a good atmosphere. Full bar with happy hour from 2 pm to 6 pm. I ordered To-Go and waited about 20 minutes for my meal. Service was great. Shout out to 'Brenda' who was very welcoming and friendly. She offered me iced water as I waited for my food. Overall, I had a pleasant experience here and will definitely return to try their breakfast as it looks appetizing.
