Went to see the musical talent!!! That part was great!!! Food was ok...service was trash!!..but it really wasnt the servers fault...I felt bad for the lady she was basically waiting on the ENTIRE restaurant by herself!

First timer.
I couldn’t ask for a better place to enjoy lunch after walking Alum Creek. The staff was energetic, personable and did I mention the employees are beautiful. The vibe was most certainly a home feeling with good music playing which I’ll be making myself a regular.
