When they were done, investigators said they went table to table, robbing customers.

One mother told Eyewitness News they even took money out of her 12-year-old son's pocket.

"They came in, told everybody not to move," she said. "They wanted their money. Went around to everybody, pretty much took whatever they could get."

Some off-duty deputies eating in the restaurant slipped out and got a description of the robbers and their car.
