Had the new Burbon Butter chicken tonight. Hand down the perfect blend of crunchy outside, juicy insides with the buttery burbon taste. Best chicken dish in my life! Hope this stays on the menu. Also service is always great from the minute you walk in door to the time you leave.

My husband and went for lunch today at 1. I ordered a drink and my husband ordered a beer. Drinks came in around 10 minutes. We ordered an appetizer and I ordered perch dinner with mashed potatoes and side salad. My husband ordered the nachos. This was around 1:10. We received appetizer in about 10 minutes. I received my side salad around 15 minutes later. This was delivered without dressing. Took about 5 minutes to have dressing delivered. I asked for a box for the salad, I figured i would take it home for later. Waitress asked if we wanted to take all our food home. Obviously I said we wanted to eat our food there. Around 1:45 we asked about our food. She brought it 5 minutes later. Unfortunately my husband didn't receive any salsa with his nachos. My perch was over cooked and hard to cut. Mashed potatoes were barely warm. Our waitress passed our table many times without ever asking us if the food was okay. It took 40 minutes to get food that wasn't cooked correctly. Didn't even ask if we wanted refills on drinks. I didn't take food home. Wasn't asked why i didn't eat any of my food. Very sad experience. We will definitely not be back. Our waitress really needs to learn how to do her job. We still left a tip for her regardless of our experience. I'm not sure of her name, she never told us

The service was pretty good. I sent my margarita back 2x because they put sugar on the rim instead of salt. By the third drink, it was watered down and not very tasty. The brussel sprout appetizer was absolutely delicious and truly the highlight of the meal. Myself and 2 of my friends ordered steak, I ordered an entree, they settled on appetizers for their dinner. Unfortunately we all sent our steak dishes back. I won't list all that was wrong with it, I'll just say that the quality of the meat was pretty awful and the cook needs more training on steaks anyway. My meal came with fries and for some reason they put the asparagus on top of the French fries which made them soggy. The french fries weren't too bad aside from being soggy and a bit salty.
The manager took the three steak dishes off of the bill but never revisited our table nor comped anything, I dunno, I thought that was kinda weird. Anyway, I've been to this restaurant several times previous to this evening and had a great experience every time, perhaps there's been a new manager hired or something, I don't know. It was a birthday celebration so it was disappointing. I'd say just don't go with high expectations and stay away from the steak! 🤷🏻‍♀️😉

We had a wonderful dining experience here. My fiance has multiple allergies and the kitchen is always so kind, considerate, and willing to work with us. Our server, Mason was fantastic as well.

I ordered the large meat lovers pizza, it arrived 43 minutes later. I couldn't tell the difference between the pizza dough and the cheese, The pizza was cold so I asked the server to take it back and cook it. I don't know how they were able to burn the toppings, and the pizza to be cold on the bottom and in the center. The service was slow and the place had 5 patrons plus my party of 3. Disappointing to say the least.

Beyond slow service . I wanted a o leave a few times. Would have ordered appetizers and desserts if it wasn’t this slow . Food - nothing special. It’s our second time here since they have opened. Won’t be back.
