I am a very unhappy first time guest.. it’s just the principle of the Matter because I don’t generally do this.. but, I work in the cooking business and seafood business … I’m a major fisherman and I have worked from boats to seafood cutlery to meat managing and prep and culinary management for years.. I know things.. aside from other things that “we don’t have that” or “oh she can’t do that now” simple things like asking for a drink that’s advertised!!!...read full review

We will Never return to this rib joint. We had a long, thin piece of metal in our food. When the owner came over, she rudely took the plate away with the piece of metal and said it was just from the brush when cleaning the grill. Her lack of empathy for the fact that a child or adult could have been seriously injured if this was swallowed is a concern for what she will allow in her restaurant. One day she might get sued for negligence. There are plenty of better restaurants!

Great food, good service, friendly atmosphere, I always enjoy their specials and the ribs every time I am in town. 👍👍👍
