Both apps were amazing. The shrimp, crayfish spinach dip and guacamole were great. The happy hour corona Rita hit the spot. Service was on point. Super happy for first time here and out of state. We'll done.

The first time was super good. We decided to host a bday party here, and the food wasn't as good but still decent. I'd definitely go back. The staff was always friendly and helpful as well.
