Food bought- steak burger and club sandwich
drinks- southern sweet tea and strawberry lemonade
service was pretty good waitress was nice and we were immediately seated. the burger was really mid for the price that was spent, same with the club sandwich, which wasn't grilled, full thing was cold, bacon was super dry and the turkey was really nasty. the fries were good though. the drinks were also ok 'ish'. Southern sweet tea was NOT sweet (nor actually southern tasting). i see a lot of good reviews abt the actual BBQ, though so i cant say FS on that

Waitress was close to useless barely performing her job, ribs tasted like they boiled them and then reheated in the microwave, soup was out of a can and not even a good brand. Over priced poor quality of food, and service was not any better than the food. They are not what they used to be. Won't be back or recommending anymore

Was in town for an event we showed up with 22 people. Cassie waited on us. She absolutely nailed it not one wrong order came out all the meals were correct. It was a very timely service. The food was absolutely fantastic. This place knocked it out of the park.

We're not sure what happened, but the steak was literally inedible. They gave us $10 off, but my husband still didn't get his steak. I had to share my ribs with him. He was very disappointed and said he'd had better meals at Arby's. The ribs were still good though. But for the price is just not worth it anymore. Which is incredibly sad. This used to be our very favorite restaurant, for the past thirty years!

We had read about the cool peanut tradition they had here and did not see even one shell of a peanut 😞 The food was great, the waitress was prompt, exact, and amazing.

Great food and they now have a gluten-free menu, but you do have to ask for it. And there's still a possibility of cross-contamination.

The food was good, I was expecting the the peanuts on the floor like advertised but maybe it is only on weekends. The wife had the grilled chicken salad which was good, I had the BBQ tri tip great on flavor and out son had the salmon and it was to delicious he loves it and filled him up before he could finish his two sides. Service could have been a little better.

The service was great, friendly staff that was attentive and polite. The food is pricey, but you do get big portions. Strawberry lemonade is served in a large mason jar and is refreshing. Food quality is dependent on who the cook is, sometimes really good, sometimes so so. They keep the lighting very dim.

Amazing food. Server was a little ick. But tolerable. He seemed pretty occupied and like we bothered him. The food though. Was wonderful. The atmosphere was fun and enjoyable. We would go again. Just would need another server

I forgot to take pictures because I was with my parents and other family for some birthday's. We got there around 6. Not overly busy. The waitress was amazing. Very sweet and attentive. They brought a thing for me to put my baby's car seat on so I didn't have to put her on the ground. Food came quickly enough but I was rather disappointed. Fries were salty but bland, my 6oz sirloin was burnt on one side. Not browned...black black burnt. Overall seasoned. Literally drowned in seasoning it was overwhelming. Garlic mashed potatoes were ok i guess. I could have made the same thing at home. Over priced for what it was. My 3 year old on the spectrum liked the Mac and cheese and he ate a few fries. Husband had a 9 oz sirloin and didn't complain about it but he never does. He did complain about the house salad he got as a side. Didn't come with much on it. A bit of tomato and onion and cucumber with some ranch. Best little roadhouse on commercial has way better side salads. With better flavor. The strawberry lemonade was ok a bit sour. Rolls were okish. Restaurant was also overly dark. Bathroom was ok. Restaurant is wheelchair friendly with accessible entrance and restroom. Didn't have an issue with my son on the spectrum or a crying baby. Staff was great. No complaints there. Oh! And my mom got the 16 dollar regular everyday burger and my sister got the kids meal burger. They first brought the burgers as 2 kids meals. We correct to say one is an adult meal. They basically just put it on a bigger plate and added lettuce to my mom's. They were the exact same size so rip off there. Considering the kids meal one was half the price.

Place is empty. Steak was black. Hard as a shoe. Sent back. Should be medium. Manager is cooking. And seating people. So try again. He comes out with big smile. New steaks!! Raw. Purple. Ugh. Can’t he cook a steak?? Very dissatisfied. No wonder it’s empty
