The perfect place for a girls night out. Both the food and the service exceeded our expectations.

Came here on a Friday night around 6. Wasn't super busy, but we asked to sit outside. Had to wait a bit for our server to come over which was fine. She was nice. We ordered an appetizer and then later drinks and food. The apps took awhile, but when they arrived they were good. Not amazing, but decent. I do think the apps were extremely overpriced. Most of them were in the $17-19 range which is really wild. Most of the sandwiches were around the same price, so seems off. Our drinks came out before the food and one was wrong. Our server quickly righted it and took it off our tab which was cool. However, although the drinks all sounded amazing on paper, the two we ordered were also just okay. We ordered the short rib dinner (that was actually tasty) and the Philly cheese steak (mediocre).
So, in summary, it wasn't terrible, but I also don't think we'll go back.

Love there's plenty of inside, as well as outside seating. Service was as great as the food.

I ate lunch there on 8/1. Had an appetizer-barbecue buns in mini taco things. Have been sick to my stomach throwing up and the runs that started 4-5 hrs. After meal.
Never again for sets!

Always good to dine here with family & friends. Kid friendly. Everyone seems to know everyone else. When we visit here to see our grandkids & family, we make it a point to stop here. Good food & drinks.

I visited SETS recently and while the food was okay, the overall experience was disappointing due to the service.
Our server wasn’t the best. He didn’t check on our table often and my friend had to grab silverware from a nearby table. To make matters worse, he accidentally brought out an extra drink from the bar. Even after acknowledging the mistake, he still charged us for it… which felt like poor customer service in my opinion.
On a positive note, the live music was good and added a nice vibe to the place. Not sure I’d return anytime soon though.

Lettuce wrap app was fantastic
Delicious food, great atmosphere, our server Mason was really great and attentive!! Highly recommend.
My mother saw this place on the news this morning and wanted to try them out, we drove 30 minutes to be met with rude service. The woman with the blonde bald head stood at the counter the whole time bent over and on her phone. When we asked her questions about their menu she answered with an attitude. We ended up walking out and not buying anything. What a waste of time, I’ll never go back to this place.
I went to grab some food with my toddler and my elderly dog (who died of cancer shortly after this incident). My dog made some noises trying to get attention. They made me feel so unwelcomed and uncomfortable. Most of the patrons were ok with it and even complimented her. Some were bothered and moved inside. Regardless, after making many comments about her, they never returned to the table. So I was left with no silverware, napkins, refills, etc. My toddlers spilled her water and we were soaked, yet no one came by or looked my way when I tried to get help. I left crying, with a soaked toddler and my sick dog. My husband (white, well dressed male) was upset with the situation and went to talk to the manager, who apologized and tried to make things better. The same manager who walked past us many times ignoring me and asked the waitress to relay his messages about my dog. Not ok. We’re from the area, dine out regularly, are always next door for chiropractor, dance class, etc., and we will never return to sets. I’d highly recommend crossing the street to Shane’s for great food and service instead!
Food bland. Ordered appetizers, and they came out with the entrees. Food was brought out wrong. Had to hunt server down to get service and tab.
The atmosphere is lively
