Very friendly and clean atmosphere. Drinks paid for once, then new drinks were always brought out for free.

Did not appreciate vacuum running while I'm trying to eat. Please vacuum when restaurant is closed or hire a carpet cleaning company.

Had a great experience! Service was quick and efficient, and Brooklyn, the hostess, was incredibly sweet and accommodating. She even wished me luck on my long drive to Tampa, which was such a thoughtful touch.

I do not know where to begin.
Went there about lunch time to have a beer and a bite to eat. Sat at the Bar was literally one other person at the bar. Bartender flit and flutters around ignoring me then proceeds to wait on 2 people that just sat down at the bar (after I have already been waiting 5 minutes) Once the waitress ( I do not think she was the bartender, nor should be..ever.) Comes over to me when she was quite curt with me complaining that she as "Burning Up" because the heat was on. It seems she thought I was the one to blame based how the rest of my treatment went. Let's just say the food was dropped on the bar in front of me with out a word. Never asked if I needed anything else and once I had finished my flat and stale beer I was staring an empty glass for another 12 minutes and again maybe total of 5 people at the bar by now. NOT ONE TIME did the flustered red head look at me or ask if I needed anything else..not once. After waiting another 10 minutes for a check that never came I left enough cash to cover the beer my food and a little and not at all deserved tip. I will be sure to let all the other business's in that area to steer clear of this place or they may already know.
While there are many other dining options in the area you would think that they may put an effort into being competitive. Not this place. If I were the manager or Franchise owner I would be totally ashamed.

My husband had chicken burger quesidia and he was pleased. My dinner, Three cheese chicken Alfredo was less than pleasing. When I received my dinner I could immediately tell the pasta was very dry and overcooked. I was not about to send it back. That’s definitely asking for trouble. So I tried to eat it, but it was like eating plain pasta. I asked the waiter if he could possibly get me some Alfredo as my pasta dish is very dry. He returned with a little black plastic cap of Alfredo sauce. It was maybe a tablespoon of sauce for a bowl of pasta. I thought about asking for another spoonful but didn’t see waiter again and my meal was cold and pasta stuck together. I asked for a take home container and figured I would throw some cheese and butter on it a second time. The chicken on the dish was good. Here’s the best part…..get the bill and I was charged $2.00 for a tablespoon of Alfredo sauce. I could not believe it. When the cook seen how dry the pasta was, he should have put enough so that the pasta wasn’t stuck together in clumps. You honestly couldn’t see any white sauce when I received my dish. But to add a $2.00 charge for a tablespoon of sauce is really out of line. Will not be going here again. For $18.99 I could have gone to a nice Italian restaurant and had real pasta Alfredo. Tried to patronize Applebees but once and done.

Great food. Jason runs his ass off. He is a great server!!!! But you need to hire more people.
We have been going for a few years now and love the staff but our favorite is Jason. He Meets our expectations the minute we walk in the door!!!
