The Food Scene
We have some fun options but note that many are not open on Sunday, and those who are close relatively early. If you are coming after 8 or on a Sunday, you may want to stop before you get to Malad.
Great burgers & Breakfast! Nice people. Our favs are the Dragon Burger (cream cheese & jalapenos) and the Hula Burger (slice of pineapple). Great fries!
