Wow! I’ve worked in Ooltewah for 6 years and just now discovered this GEM. We have gotten this 3 days in a row this week because everything we’ve tried is absolutely delicious.

I was quite impressed with this unique restaurant and two restaurants in one. The restaurant is on one side and smoothie bar/ ice cream.
