My son and grandson were generally happy with their meals, though we all agreed that the cornbread had a strange, unpleasant taste and we won't order it again. I had the BBQ Beef salad and it was unsatisfactory. Having had a few before, I've decided that it varies entirely too much with who the chef is on a particular visit. This time, it was almost totally lacking in bleu cheese crumbles. You need to standardize the instructions for your salads, so that we can count...

We eat here on a fairly regular basis... (once a month or so) Last night was a bit of a let down. We enjoy sitting on the patio because it is normally a bit quieter outside then in the restaruant. Had to go inside to find out if we had a server. Manager came out took our drink order... some drinks came others did not. Finished our appetizers then our server took our order. pretty drawn out evening... food was not as good as it usually is... not sure what is going on with this...

First time here. Extensive menu. I chose Fried chicken, brisket and sausage combo with potato salad and beans. Underwhelmed. Fried chicken was a flattened fried patty, brisket was fatty and sausage was flavorless. Beans had a vinegar taste. Potato salad was the best. Sweet tea barely sweet and I had to ask server for a refill. Ordered a hot fudge sundae and had to cancel order because it was taking so long. Overall, disappointed.
