We were there for the Happy Hour menu. I enjoyed a wedge salad and a tasty pulled pork slider with cole slaw at great Happy Hour prices. We also ordered their corn bread which is a must! So delicious! Hubby ordered the St. Louis ribs off the regular menu and the meat was just falling off the bone tender! He enjoyed every bit of it! He also loved the creamed corn side dish. Our server was very attentive! Can't wait to go back!

We made a 2 person reservation for 8pm and we werent sat for at least 20 minutes after. Kept telling us our table needed to be cleaned. Eventually the host went over there and cleaned it themselves. Once sat, the food was great. Ordered a 2nd round of drinks halfway through and i think the server forgot cause they didnt arrive untill i was asking for the check. Seemed like they were under staffed for a busy saturday night.

Great service and food, even during prime dinner time. I could tell staff were a little stretched but everything came out quickly. Noise level a little high due to dinner rush crowd
