Wow. This place is something straight out of Hollywood! The atmosphere and air quality is something out of this galaxy, I simply can’t describe it in the English language it was so good. Come here with family, girlfriends or even somebody you don’t like you’ll have a great time!
August 2025
The food and the atmosphere is great for a rib place - exactly what you're looking for, the service has been slipping. Just a reminder to revisit all the tables in a section and not just particular ones. Quick check-ins to assess drink status and a checking to see that the table has what it needs for the meal after serving is important. Otherwise, friendly staff.
August 2025
Brisket was overdone and pale looking, lots of people with staff shortages. Our server Dakota was wonderful and very helpful and attentive. Sometimes when the place is crowded the food quality slips.
