The Very Best Ever...Food and Staff♥️❣️
First time here with my family after Drill School Graduation and it was fantastic. Great food, great atmosphere, and we had the best server. I wish I remembered her name, but she was great and had such a great spirit with our Georgia Bulldog banter. 🏈🐾
Def recommend and would love to come back again when we are in the area in the future. #godawgs
went there today with my family. everyone's meal came out but mine. couldn't find our waiter "EL" to find the it what happened. He showed up 20 minutes later to ask how the meals were. told him mine never came. he left and came back after another 20 mins. He said he would handle it and repeated the order incorrectly. The manager showed up 15 minutes later with hash browns....that I didn't order. He couldn't understand why I would be upset at this point. He just walked away. "EL"...read full review
