YSC is an amazing place to eat. It’s clean, quiet and and everyone that works there are personable and attentive. I eat there probably 2-3 times a year over the past few years and it’s the same every time. The food is great. The only thing I think that could be better is the strawberry lemonade. Overall I highly recommend them if you want quality food and a pleasant calm atmosphere.
