Hidden away behind the shopping center lies Tam's #23. This little hole-in-the-wall joint is turning out great food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And they have been, for years. Offering friendly, courteous service, with a smile. And all at decent prices. So if you haven't been there in awhile...revisit Tam's #23. And if you've never been there...be good to yourself. Because this place is worth the visit. You'll be glad you did.
