Response to restaurant: I’m sorry, let me explain the situation a little further. A member of our group went to retrieve his bag from another member who was leavings car, and we were in the midst of paying for our check. Our friend came back in with his bag, that had a few containers from the eagles tailgate we were at earlier. The bouncer originally told him he couldn’t come in, but he expressed he was just coming back in to meet his friends (us) to pay for the check and leave. The bouncer then allowed him to come in. As we were waiting for our server to come get the check and card, that is when the bouncer stormed over and started yelling at us. Keep it mind, our friend only had his bag because we were leaving and he had to get it out of a friends car who was leaving right before us, and the bouncer knew this and was aware of the bag and allowed him to come in. While the bouncer was yelling at us, I said “We are literally leaving, this is the second time in this establishment that you’ve approached me and my group this aggressively” (the other time being a year ago that I will explain after this) and that’s when he screamed profanities in my face as described in my original review. He also told me “Go to Maggie’s if you don’t like me”. So not only is your employee scaring customers away but sending them to competitive restaurant in the area. That’s awesome. Does this sound like a reasonable response from your employee? If so, I feel sorry for you. Truly.
The first experience I had was about a year ago with two of my friends. We were coming to the restaurant to eat lunch when the bouncer demanded our ID’s. We were entering through the restaurant, not the outside bar and expressed repeatedly to him that we simply just wanted to sit at a table and eat. For some reason, he did not understand and got aggressive with us and started yelling at us for our ID’s. It just didn’t make sense. Thankfully, an employee overheard and was able to seat us Looking back, I wish I would have just walked out. I also wish I had left a review about this interaction sooner.
Original review:
I had a deeply disappointing and scary experience at this establishment, and I feel compelled to share my concerns, particularly regarding the treatment of me and my group. During my visit, I encountered a bouncer named Jason who exhibited aggressive behavior towards me on two separate occasions (once about a year ago and then again today). When I approached him to address this issue, he responded in a very hostile manner, which was both extremely alarming and unprofessional. He screamed in my face “Eff You” (I cannot curse on here or my review will be taken down). I was appalled by his extremely short temper and aggression towards me.
Unfortunately, my attempts to communicate my concerns to the management did not yield a supportive response at all. I spoke with two managers, one of whom was Dotty, and both were dismissive of my experience. I had hoped for a more empathetic reaction from Dotty, given that we are both women and especially given the severity of the situation. The lack of concern from management was troubling and shows me this is normal for them.
It is disheartening to witness such behavior being defended in any establishment. I feel I was verbally assaulted by this boy (I refuse to call him a man). I strongly encourage anyone considering visiting to take this feedback into account. I believe this venue needs to reevaluate its approach to customer safety and staff conduct. Please consider my review before visiting.

Visiting from Atlanta for a work trip and the awesome reviews brought me to this place. Decor was fun and creative. Indoor and outside seating. We made it at the start of happy hour. Service was slow based on the amount of people that were in the bar. My waitress Sarah seemed very distracted with personal conversation. Ordered the steak dip; the pretzel bites were yummy but I was not a fan of the dip. I ordered a sprite, I received a Starry and it was flat. I ordered the Thai Chilli Salmon. That entree alone is the reason for my rating. The salmon was cooked to perfection, the sauce was a nice touch, and the ride and asparagus were so yummy. The “cherry on top” was the two shrimps you get onto of the salmon. Definitely a dish that will fill you up!
Overall this place was 3/5.

I see you guys have steak dip but I’m not really a fan of that, yall used to have buffalo dip and now I look on the menu to order it again and it’s gone YET ONCE AGAIN. Please bring it back it was one of your best things on the menu in my opinion!!
