I had an amazing time at this restaurant. The food was tasty and just like homecooked meal you'd have with your loved ones. I definitely recommend this place to friends and family

My only complaint is when the food runs out. Get here early for the true full menu it's all delicious. The prices aren't bad either. Try the turkey wings or the stewed chicken you'll thank me later.

This spot is great. Attentive, fast, and experienced service with no ego. The food was great. The french toast with a rice-crispy crusty crust was so good. My huge biscuit was yummy. This is an adorable spot. I noticed several people knew the wait staff by name.

A lot of variety, delicious food and great service! Shrimp dishes can be customised, the fish portions are good & lots of meat gravy dishes available!

Love their ceviche. The food is good most times. This time the Roasted chicken was dry. But the rice and beans was good as usual.

Magical experience! Felt like I was in Disney world but even that can’t match the experience I had here tonight at KR

This review is based on my delivery experience as I have not dined in. I ordered a Dominican picadera to be delivered and it was absolutely amazing! So much food for the price plus a complimentary large soda bottle! Delivery by Edward was smooth and easy. He was wonderful!! Everyone I dealt with at the restaurant was professional and kind as well...Thank you!!
