That employee Tessa was very rude ! Made us tip a lot for no reason! Go here if you're rich but if you're not don't because it's so expensive

Run down from too much use. Small chair that one of the boards was loose, felt like Goldilocks in Baby Bear's chair. Had a burger, it must have been mixed with sand because it was DRY. Not juicy at all. Not just mine but my wife's too.

Walked in at 8:10 when the restaurant closes at 9 …. As a matter of fact it’s 8:34 now and their sign still says open. Very rude young girl at register asks us if we’re “LOOKING for FOOD” ( my teenage son , my husband, and I) … Uhhh yeah this is a restaurant right? What else would we be LOOKING for? 😂 We answer yes and she says they’re not going to serve any more food. We said well can we sit at the bar? She said “ our bar is full” . She proceeds to say “ bye and have a good night” without even looking up at us… Terrible Customerservice! I would never have this girl greeting people at the front door! I don’t care what the food is like we will never go back. If this makes me a KAREN 😂 so be it!

Just walk thru and go outside! NO WAIT! Unless it’s full, the outside seating is best for larger groups.

Bar is awesome for 2-3 people.

The staff is always fantastic and friendly. Been here multiple times and is always a go to.

This is not an Applebees or chain atmosphere. If you want that, stay away. It’s way better.

Thanks Bonzer, great as always!

Overpriced for mediocre food. Don't drink the water either.
