Your blonde waitress avery is rude and lazy refuses to help the other employees when asked for help to busy flirting with guys coming in . Let’s not mention constantly playing with her bra .
First timer! Food was amazing 🤩 definitely try the onion rings with Kelly’s Mayo! Will be back
Brownie says: I don't ever feel out of place here. The bar owner ( Jeff ) and his entire staff are the best...
