This was our first time eating here and definitely won’t be our last! I ordered the blueberry bbq chicken enchiladas and they were fantastic, the brussels sprouts were very unique with the sun dried tomato pesto and super delicious. My husband got the All things burger and he said it was very juicy and had a lot of flavor. The mac and cheese was creamy and yummy and the red velvet cake was probably the best I have ever had!

I was very excited to try this place but unfortunately a little disappointed. My husband ordered his steak medium-rare, it was nothing short of well-done, no pink at all. My toddlers burger was totally raw, it looked like soggy ground beef inside. Luckily they did remake this for us. I didn’t want to be a complainer and also ask for the steak to be re-done too so we just dealt with it. The flavors were good and it seemed home made. Very expensive though, my child’s meal alone...
