I had my mother's day even though it was 20 minutes late the food was amazing the service kind of sucks they did forget a lot of stuff but I tried to understandable cuz it was Mother's Day it was very loud very chaotic and the menu seem to get smaller with different choices on it which I was pretty upset about

The steak, wings and bread were really good. I had the ribeye, medium, but the mash potatoes were salty. Our appetizer were there hot wings. They weren't hot, but they were very well seasoned, mmmm. I think I'm going to try this place again and it is just because we went an hour before they were going to close so they were cleaning and it looked a bit chaotic. The servers were nice but only checked on us only once and at the end when she gave us our bill. Oh the Caesar...

Very nice clean restaurant. Very friendly staff we had a great waiter. He was very attentive. Join their app program. We got a free blooming onion for joining the app program. All of our food was cooked fresh and hot and was very tasty. They have a great Caesar salad. They also have some really good deals where you geta salad or soup and your choice of burger or shrimp with fries or a potato and a dessert. Great deals.
