“Just had the coolest night at Medieval Times! Felt like I was cheering at a jousting match with a giant chicken leg in one hand. The show was awesome, with horses and knights and everything. Food was filling, perfect for cheering on your champion. Maybe a bit loud for little ones, but my inner child had a blast!“

“One of the things we enjoy most about this location is our server, David Struebing. We dine here infrequently, but when we do so, we search out and ask for David. Always a welcoming smile, knows what we want to order, usually before we do. We always buy the cornbread muffins, so David bring them to us before we even start eating. John gets the all you can eat baby back ribs, and the occasion is rare when John doesn't have a fresh rack waiting for him to dive into. David is pleasant, laughs with us, shares our personal stories, in short, just like family. The food is always fresh and tasty (I heartily endorse the chicken salad with cheese sandwich). In short, if it is BBQ we crave, to Sonny's and David we go!“

“Love coming here. The menu has great drinks, but the bartenders will make you anything you request.The food is really darn good. I mean, who expects a great plate of pasta at a sports bar? I always come on Tuesdays to play trivia and get the chicken tenders, which are on sale that day and are always steaming hot and juicy on the inside- best in the area.Prices are crazy reasonable compared to what other places are charging. If you're debating coming here, do it, you won't regret it.Parking: They just recently paved the parking lot and finished nearby construction of a car wash. I've never had an issue finding a parking spot, even on the busiest nights.“

“This is a chill sports lounge and bar. My mom and I came here around 7:30 on a Saturday night. It wasn't very busy at all. We both ordered a Rasta drink, the fish tacos, and the BBQ chicken potato skins. Everything was outstanding. The drinks were nice and strong and the food was delicious.One disappointment was that the music was completely turned down and all that was playing were the TVs with sports games. While I understand that there's a desire to cater to the sports fans, it left us feeling kind of bored since there was no music to listen to while enjoying our drinks.I also disliked how there wasn't anyone to greet us at the door. There should at least be a sign that says "seat yourself."Besides this, it was a good experience and we will definitely be back for the food and drinks.“

I told Eagles Landing about my burned experience with caterers, so in response to that they showed up early to our event (which was perfect) and every step of the way, Judy and the rest of the Eagles Landing staff took excellent care of us and the food was fantastic. Needless to say, we will for sure be using them again!“

“Rooftop is cool to drink at the bar, but slower service since they are running food 2 flights of stairs. And they don't have the draft beer upstairs. Our server wasn't set up for success. He was the bartender and serving food downstairs as well as our server upstairs so our food service was slow. And unfortunately they forgot our fries until I finished my meal, but our server did comp us for those, so that was respectable.“

Her personality makes you smile and by the end of your dinner you feel like you are friends with Jennifer.To the food, I had the stuffed grouper, garlic potatoes, and creamed spinach. The grouper and the potatoes were good. The creamed spinach was ok but I wouldn't order again. My wife had crab crusted salmon and garlic potatoes. She said the salmon was very good. The potatoes could have had a little more seasoning but they were still good. Our daughter had the baked stuffed shrimp with fries. She said it had good flavor and she would get it again.We will be back as they have a large menu and we want to try some of the other dishes.“

“Honestly, the food is absolutely delicious which is why I came back twice. But within a three day span and two different orders, food has been missing. Now it’s too expensive here to not put every piece of my $60 order in my bag it’s even more inconvenient that the only way this can be made right is by me getting in my car to drive to go get it, especially if it’s an order, I DoorDash. I would recommend them because the food is delicious, but to their management you need to do a better job of making sure your workers put the food that your customers order in the bag.*** update is that they fixed the issue and I’m grateful“
