“Absolutely loved our first meal there. Great atmosphere.2020
Update below 👇

Update it's January 2026 and I have to say that the ribeye wasn't what I expected. It had soo much pepper on it you couldn't even taste the steak. Very disappointed at over 20 dollars per person. Took it home and washed off the pepper dump. Made changes it's better. The peach tea was awful didnt have enough peach flavor, just bad tea. Had to drink it because of the pepper on the steak. The place was so dark you had trouble seeing the menu or food. We couldn't hear our waitress we even asked to repeat what she said. So giving it 1star⭐.“

Hats off to the chef, Ruby. She made our food perfect. Probably the best experience I have had at this establishment.
Definitely recommend, especially when these two ladies work.“

“We had lunch after church this past Sunday. We got the 2 for $25 special. The food was pretty good but what made our experience memorable was our server Erica. She told us it was only her 4th shift on her own and she'd never waited tables before. I was in the restaurant industry for many years and have a very critical eye when it comes to service. And I have to say, you'd never know it. She was confident, knowledgeable, and on the ball. She made us feel very welcome. I never had to ask for drinks. She kept us informed about the status of our meal. Anticipated needs, checked back without being pushy. She kept our table clean. I made sure to tell the manager Justin what a fantastic job she did. I was also very impressed with Justin.“

“Wow wow wow what an experience. Our server Bradon from the beginning went above and beyond. They thanked us immediately for having an easy drink order which set a positive and grateful tone for the meal. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. We got the sampler appetizer with boneless wings (desert heat), cauliflower wings (spicy garlic), cheese curds and fried pickles. Then we got the beer cheese Philly cheesesteak with tater tot’s. The service was flawless with drink refills arriving right when we needed them AND without us having to ask. Our server was prompt, attentive and genuinely thorough. They even remembered I had a Togo order to place and was ready when I was to place it on time so we would have it ready when we finished! This experience was so good I had to say something to the manager who was happy to hear the praises and offer me a survey card which I was going to ask for anyways! I am happily reporting that not only did we enjoy the food but the service was one to remember! Thank you Bradon!“
