    “We went to the 25th Street location while my dad played a show with a band, and we had been there the whole time, ordered food and everything. But after the guy took my drink order, he came up to our table and yelled at us saying we didn't pay to get in. We were told by the owner we didn't have to pay since we were with the band. we politely explained what we were told, But had said if we had to then we would, no problem. But instead of standing by what he said, the owner proceeded to YELL at Me saying if I was going to cause an issue then they'd ask us to leave. I felt so uneasy and pissed, because my fiance and I had been polite and everything the whole time. and the fact he was acting like he was only talking to me that way. when my fiance talked to him his tone changed. My stepmom was also with us, told my dad, and they haven't played at that location since. It was a NIGHTMARE.. plus from what I have heard from MULTIPLE people, they have let their waiter follow girls into restrooms and touch them inappropriately and just letting him go right back to work even AFTER the law was involved. This place needs to be investigated, shut down, or something! It is not safe..”

    “I had never gone here before but received a gift card and decided to go inside and see what they offered for lunch. I was absolutely greeted with the best customer service ever from a gentleman named MONTANNA! He was so informative and personable that it immensely improved my over all visit and day! He let me sample a few items and gave great suggestions for my meal! Honestly because of this I got something I never would have and LOVED it! He went above and beyond to make my first experience the best it possibly could. Not to mention the food was delicious, he made it quickly and to order. I without a doubt will go back to try some of the other items in the future. The restaurant was quiet and my first impression was that it was maintained and cleaned very well. *Photos are of half of my sandwich and half of my side of broccoli salad since I forgot to take before photos.
