Always fantastic. Great food and customer service!!

We got table and service within 10 to 15 minutes of being there with a party of 6. Our waitresses were outstanding. I can't say the same about the food. Our chips and anything that came from the fryer tasted like they had been cooked in grease that was years past its expiration date and it was a bit funky. I would be willing to give another chance as it was maybe just a bad night.

We ate at this restaurant for the first time 7-30-25. As we had just had Mexican food elsewhere the night before so we chose the Whiskey Burger with fries to share. BEST burger I have ever had. French fries were done perfectly. We ordered sauted vegetables as a side and they were awesome. Perfectly tender crisp and seasoned perfectly. We will make the drive from Muscatine again!

The food was great, but the hostess and server were rude and the booth seat cushions were completely worn out and uncomfortable.

Came with large group after a funeral. The service was amazing as everyone got food within minutes of each other. Food was great, everyone enjoyed the meal, chips and salsa. We eat a lot of Mexican food and I would rank this as very good.
