“Great service. Amazing waitress Jessica. Kept our drinks filled with as many people as there were. Fried pickles were underwhelming. Recommend the all you can eat wings. Unfortunately a bat only thing. So good. Reasonable price too.Asked about evening activities. They don’t have any right now. Used to.Little faulty advertising problem. Got served buffalo sauce in a cracked dish.Bathroom floors were sticky. Otherwise pretty clean.Wheelchair accessibility: Ramp. Wide isles. accommodatable seating.“

The shrimp were perfect and even my bride liked the grits, and she doesn't eat grits!! I highly recommend! Everything on the table was amazing, friends had brisket and they said it was delicious!“

When I say 10/10, WOW this quesadilla is DELICIOUS. The service was so amazing, and my food didn’t even take 10 minutes. You won’t regret checking them out, I’ll definitely be gaining a few more lbs in my future! ☺️“

“WOWZERS! I ordered the holiday ham for Christmas and it was absolutely amazing! It took no time at all to pop in the oven to warm up too. I was able to focus my day on my family rather than checking up on the dinner all day. I will say the potato salad is something from heaven because I think I ate my body weight in potato salad. I am confident that a grandma is back there making the potato salad and putting all the love in the flavor. Thank you again!“

“We were camping and we wanted to visit a local place. I am usually very limited on what I can eat due to be gluten free. I am always scared about calling and asking about gluten free options. I essentially put my health in someone else’s hands and if they are wrong, I am sick for days. I called and spoke to max. He was wonderful and put my nerves at ease. He was very knowledgeable about his ingredients, so we ventured over. I am so glad we did. The space is so cute. The wait staff was wonderful and the girl that checked me out was also knowledgeable about gluten. The food was wonderful and we had a great experience. Thank you so much for allowing me (and my family) to go out for dinner and know I was safe.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free“

They let me know once the beef was ready for pickup and were super friendly. They even gave us a special cut of beef to try that is normally not included with our purchase. Great service! Will use them again in the future!“

“Went here for date night tonight. Being a good ol southern boy and living in Kansas City for a while I was happy to see great southern cuisine and KC burnt ends offered. So I ordered. Y’all ….a plate of food came out, but when I took a bite, that food conjured up my dead father who loved burnt ends like me. We ordered a banana pudding to go and sure as I am sitting here licking the container, my dead momma came up and asked me if I liked it better than hers! I said no but man oh man it’s good. This place just knocked my nostalgia out of the park. Amazing food!“
