Paid 6 dollar for premium side of onion rings recieved mashed potatoes instead. Non of the food looked even close to the photos shown. Mac n cheese was very bland not baked everything was a let down. Should have checked my take out order before leaving. Won't be going back again.

My fiancé and I are from Australia on holiday and came into this restaurant and was blessed with Susan! She was absolutely amazing and such a beautiful soul to have been served by! Susan needs a raise! She was so amazing and so good to have a conversation with!! She went above and beyond for us !! Cannot thank her enough for amazing service!

I came here before with my family and had a pleasant experience. This was my second time coming and unfortunately I did not have a great experience. Our server was fantastic but the food however was okay.. I had ordered the double burger when I received it it looked delicious and was quite big but as I flipped the burger over to bite into it I saw a piece of my burger was still raw on the edges and I asked my husband does this look raw to you or is it like maybe a medium rare? He then said no that looks raw you should tell our server about it. I asked my server the same question and she agreed it is raw I also asked her if it was possible to just have a single instead of a double if it’s too much to change it then it’s okay our server kindly said that was no worries and would just let the cook know and she then took my plate to get it remade. We were sitting in front of the cooking area and while she was speaking with the cook I clearly heard him say “I can put the patty on the grill but I’m not making a whole new patty” he looked at me as he said it. I then told my server I did not want my food anymore because that was very unprofessional. It was really disappointing because like I said before the previous time I was here I had a great experience and now this.. anyways they took my burger off the bill. I do believe just because you work at the back of the house you should have good costumer service ESPECIALLY when the cooking window is directly in front of costumers.

We came as a group of 12. There was one other table seated and no one else in the restaurant. The waitress we had was trying her best but we noticed that the manager was helping the other waitress with her table of 4 and not helping our waitress with us. Our food was all cold, and tasted freezer burnt. We ended up sending most of it back and went somewhere else to eat.

Update to add, three of us ended up with food poisoning and had to get on a plane the next day to go home. Worst experience we’ve ever had.

Such a great restaurant! From the moment I requested the excavator table and they quickly obliged, to showing up and the service provided by Susan, the experience was wonderful. As soon as we walked in, the kids were given (plastic) hard hats and “clocked in” for work (the only thing missing was the company logo on the time cards). I loved all of the little construction area details around the restaurant. Even the large table with wood sticking up was called “Waist Management.”

Susan was so friendly and great with the kids. Although the restaurant wasn’t busy, I can tell that she would’ve given them just as much attention even if it was busy. Later on, her coworker gave them construction vests and they pretended to do some work.

Note - Susan was also just awesome overall. I asked for apple juice like the kids and she asked if I’d rather have orange juice because I was sick and coughing (we had talked about it earlier in the visit - not contagious, etc). YES! After the meal, she told me the kids’ meal came with ice cream - out of earshot of the kids so I could decide if they’d get it. And she asked if I wanted some for my throat. Seriously amazing service.

All in all, it was a great experience, definitely recommended, and we look forward to coming back in the future!

It looks super cute, and the kids will like the stuff on the wall, but unfortunately there is no construction “play” area like you assume there would be for a place clearly geared towards kids. But they do get cute hats and can wear construction vests while there.
The food was unfortunately not good. The kids Mac n cheese was soupy, chicken tenders subpar, and my husband’s steak was all fat and no meat. I had the fish and chips which was decent, and someone else in our party said the burger was excellent. Parent to parent: go for the vibes but make sure you order the burger to stay safe.

This is the second time we have been here when visiting Florida and had another great experience! We had a small group of 4 and ordered a huge spread to share - the ribs were amazing (my husband commented multiple times about how tasty they were) and would also highly recommend the flat bread, onion rings (served on the coolest hand-made rebar serving tray), wings, tacos and thick cut fries *chefs kiss!

The Halloween decorations they had put out were awesome and on theme - little skeletons with hard hats on, and welders masks, climbing along the ladders, one driving the excavator etc. which was so fun for the holidays and really well done! As always the excavator was awesome, tailgates of trucks as seats, and cool themed tables based on different construction trades (my husband who is an electrician was a fan). Awesome idea and our bar man, Midd was really lovely. Thanks for a great night!

*Google only allows one review per restaurant, however, we had such a fabulous time and great food this second visit - I felt like we needed to update our review! Original below

Original review (May 2025): Had such a fun time at this restaurant, loved the concept and the truck and excavator tables are awesome! Perfect family restaurant - our food (crispy chicken sandwich) and cocktails were great. The staff were friendly and our server Susan was so lovely. Would recommend!

The theming and atmosphere is absolutely wonderful, full of construction equipment and tools. My kiddo loved that we were sitting in an excavator bucket! The service was great, Jordan was absolutely wonderful and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was beyond delicious! It blew my expectations out of the water with how flavorful it was. The Halloween decor was adorable and I am so happy I saw this place on Tiktok.

Awesome decor but horrendous experience. Our server was a ditz. She constantly forgot to bring out drinks or even silverware. Some kids in the restaurant were given plastic keepsake hard hats, our kids weren’t since they just “ran out” meanwhile a family walks in after us and their baby gets a hat and ours haven’t. I then look over and see some on display and she had someone grab them down for our kids. She said they run out of the hard hats all the time. I told her if it’s that frequent management should alter their ordering process. The food was disgusting, everything that came out was gross, under flavored and we ordered a variety of food including an appetizer (potato skin thing), 2 entrees and a kids meal and side of kids pasta. What really ticked me off was we asked for just noddles for our 2 year old and no meat or sauce the server said “well i feel it’s unfair to charge y’all the price of a kids meal for that how about I charge y’all $5?” We said “ok” she then comes back to the table and says “my manager said he can’t do it for $5 we can do it for $7” let’s stop and think here. We didn’t ask for the $5 price it was offered to us. We all agreed to your offer and then you raise the price? Very distasteful move by management to send the employee back to tell us this. The fruit (strawberries) on my sons plate were so soft and gross he told me he didn’t want to finish them because they were gross and I took one look at them and told him he didn’t need to. This kid lives for strawberries mind you. Needless to say we’re never coming back. There’s lots of local eateries that provide a much more professional and pleasant experience.
