To say I was terribly disappointed is an understatement, went there for the crab legs with friends and family to celebrate our anniversary. The crab legs were horrible, tiny, and so soggy that you couldn't even break them open. We had 5 that ordered the crab legs, and you only got 1 tiny cluster pet person, and we had to wait forever to get more. It was not because of being short staffed, all the tables around us were getting plate afte plate. The waitress never once came and asked if everything was ok, I had to catch her as she was walking by to ask for more crab legs. I realize they're closing soon, but this is unacceptable. They did offer us 1/2 price on the crab, but ONLY after they ran out of crab legs.

We were served raw chicken tenders for a 3 year old, had to wait until the end of our meal to get them recooked, boxed them up had to go. Service is slow and the staff is not very friendly.

Our waitress was very friendly and attentive very nice we went there on my 50th birthday had all you can eat crab legs came out hot and steamy had more than my $50 worth plus I got a free drink and I ordered the delicious fried ice cream for my dessert FYI it's enough to feed four people it really did put the icing on a good evening highly recommended and they serve them every Wednesday

Food is good. Nice big patio. Note though that the prices on their website menu are an average of 3 dollars cheaper, up to $8 on a couple items. Obviously not a huge deal, but good to note.

We went to have dinner here at 830 and the waitress on the patio told us the kitchen was closed at 8 pm. We looked online before we came and said kitchen closes at 930. Haven't been here for a long time and probably won't go back again. Change your online hours so it's not misleading to people.

Had reservations. Bit of confusion about them when we arrived. Very busy, and we had a brand new server. He did great ffg ou r a first day on the job. Kitchen was backed up, food and drink arrival was slow. The food was however, amazing! I had the chicken bruschetta. YUM!

Never will I ever go here again. My friend and I went here and were charged for 8 margaritas when we only had 4 and also charged for Jose when we didn’t ask for it. Spoke to the manager and he was very rude. Told me that is how they ring them in. They should not be rang in this way because it looks like we drank more then what we had. I have never worked for a place that would ring them in like this. The manager tossed me $10 when we were clearly over charged by almost $25.

Great food, entertainment and a very friendly server. She even brought over a dish of water for our puppy.

Best service in town and great food.

The food was mediocre in flavor, However it was plentiful. The Alfredo sauce could have used some garlic. I ordered a side of marianeria sauce, that tasted like pizza sauce.

great service!!! great food and great friends love being there!

Joe Pechmann

Horrible, asked the service before I ordered. How the 42.99 prime rib was cooked. She said to order. Was way over done from how I ordered. Nothing done about it. Showed her and the whole 9 yards. Would never recommend this place to anyone

All around great experience. They found us seating, they were quick with the menu, and I know you can't beat a happy hour like this one. Exciting experience!
