The restaurant provides various games, including shooters, racing games, and VR setup, which are a hit with kids and adults. The staff is commended for their fast, organized service. The restaurant is clean and has an appetizing smoked smell. It is recommended to park on the backside of the building or on the road adjacent for larger vehicles.

The meats are praised as very tender and delicious, and the daily specials are creative and well-balanced.

On Saturdays, a steak and lobster special is offered at an affordable price. The sports bar atmosphere with TVs and sports memorabilia is a highlight, and the facility also boasts a top-of-the-line arcade and party room.
