We were here for lunch not really knowing what to expect. First off GREAT fish and chips, not 75 percent batter like most places. Super filling and pretty quick service, we were in and out within a hour I’d say. Friendly staff greeted us upon arrival and as we left. Overall experience was excellent as we needed a good meal and quickly. Will definitely be back when in the area.Kid-friendliness: We didn’t have our children with us this time but I’d say a child friendly environment.

This food, oh my God. I'm so stuffed right now to the point I almost feel drunk. The chicken, brisket and the ribs, wonderful. The ribs fall off the bone. Even the corn, coleslaw and fries are excellent, especially the corn. Staff great and friendly as well. Definitely worth coming back for.

Great food, staff a bit overworked but were kind despite it. Atmosphere inside was good, though nothing really stand out or exceptional about.

I had been to this restaurant before, food is good, service is always good, but my 1st BEEF ( no pun intended) this past experience the server told us the “Special” which was a brisket beef dip with fries. That’s what we ordered!!We failed to ask cost, expected a “Special” to be cheaper. Our sandwich was very small and then just fries not a super elaborate meal not even a salad for $28 each ? 2nd complaint what kind of restaurant brings all their food shipments through the front door? not very precessional!!3rd complaint, we sat out on the patio right beside 20 kitchen items such as stoves and other used items, maybe for sale?? More of a garage sale environment than a nice ( ands expensive) restaurant.The food is good, expensive $86 lunch with two specials and a glass of wine and a virgin Caesar !! I won’t be returning.
