Only one word is needed in order to describe everything there is to know about this place..amazing.
Amazing food
Amazing service
Amazing atmosphere
Everything was just amazing.
February 2025
Food was delicious and plentiful. Jesse was an amazing server: polite, attentive, and prompt with our ordering. We'll be requesting to sit in his section when we return again. Atmosphere is lively at the bar, but quiet for us to play billiards after our meal. Definitely recommend visiting or trying again if you had a bad prior experience.
February 2025
First time here and will definitely come back. We had the ribs and the brisket and both were excellent. The chicken was a little dry and not much flavor but the mac and cheese, baked beans and potato salad and corn muffins were excellent.
We attended an anniversary party there.

Kid-friendliness: Yeah, kid friendly

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes
