Sat at the bar, bartender seemed aggravated. Sat there for 15 minutes with no silverware and condiments had to physically get up to ask another person who worked there. Food was good however wish I would have been able to eat it while it was hot

I don't usually leave yelp reviews , but this one has been bugging me for awhile! We used to frequent here often, and when I say often I mean like every weekend. Sometimes twice during the week, but im not sure what kind of new management they have running the place. Hailey, she was so rude from the very beginning! We had a party of 8 and it was a Saturday and starting to get a little busy, we had to wait a little while so we got drinks from the bar. Which also was a newer guy bartender who had a stick up his you know what, he didn't even acknowledge us and we waited there about 10 minutes before he even looked our way. He had a rude demeanor as if he was so busy that it made him angry, I've never had a bartender at this establishment like this. EVER! We sit down (our party wasn't fully there yet) finally our whole party gets there and to our surprise three of our friends from out of town surprised us, the hostess and Hailey stated only 8 can sit at our party and the others would have to be on a wait (fine by us) so we had the joiners wait outside (by the way it was 44 degrees outside) and our joiners were two kids who could SIT ON OUR LAP. they said no. The day goes along, we're ordering drinks, we ordered food . We finish eating but we are still drinking, we ordered 8 blueberry pancakes shots and 8 more mimosas. Our server Amanda (who was heaven sent) we loved her so much ! (Kudos to her) she told us there was a 90 minute table limit and if we aren't eating we have to finish up. Obviously confused because we just ordered atleast $100 in drinks and planned to order more. My sister in law says okay great well order food, in which we did. Amanda comes back to the table and I can tell she's been put in an uncomfortable position because she says we still had to leave per management and it appeared she was holding back tears. We say okay fine. Hailey then comes up to our table to reiterate the same thing , not friendly at all, very cold demeanor. And honestly I can't believe she has that position. I understand the 90 minute table time but we were still spending money. And planned to spend more. Now I'm not sure who does the hiring around here but Hailey lacks social etiquette and the way she handled this was VERY poorly. From the bartender (which we waited FOREVER for our drinks at the table) to the manager. The only thing that went well was the food and the server , Amanda. She was great and I'm sorry they put her in that position. We have spent thousands at this restaurant and haven't been back. And we will not be back as long as the management continues to act the way they do. Don't waste your time on crappy managers and drinks that take 30 minutes whilst having a crappy attitude while making them. I hope y'all do better! 0 stars for sure

Cute atmosphere but food was just okay. Our hot food was served lukewarm and we waited a long time for it. No rush to return.

The establishment is different from their dowtown location. It is smaller. The staff is not as personable or friendly.Parking: Located in a shopping center so parking is open.

My daughter and I opted for this place for a hearty breakfast on an out of town soccer weekend. It was exactly what we were looking for. They have a few outside tables and one couple was out there with their dog enjoying the nice weather. We sat at one of the inside booths. It was pretty full on a Sunday morning around 9am. I ordered a basic breakfast (eggs, bacon, breakfast potatoes, pancakes) and coffee. It was all good and what you would expect for a reasonable price. My daughter got the sticky chicken with the sauces on the side. It's a waffle cone with breaded chicken and hot sauce and donut glaze. I thought it tasted great! I really liked the hot honey sauce. The waffle cone is a little hard to eat and maybe is more gimmick. However, we boxed her leftovers and later in the day, the waffle cone got a little soggy and it actually made it easier to eat. Good flavor on the cone too. The service was friendly. Overall, solid choice. There were definitely a few customers enjoying morning cocktails (blood Mary's, mimosas), as you might expect based on the name. The place isn't fancy. Lots of dark wood. Traditional bar and grill feel. Overall, good option!

Took an hour to get the food to go and it was mishandled in the bag looking to chocolate coating the containers. No syrup was given for the pancakes and the egg was lackluster. Portion size was more than adequate for the price and the food would likely have been better tasting if dined inside, though I was disappointed as it was.

Cold food. Very basic. Don't waste your money! I brought my friend visiting from Seattle. How embarrassing ...please get it together!

Down home atmosphere. Service was not good. Food was not to my expectations. Was hoping for better. In the end I wound up paying $30 for fries, coffee and a cinnamon roll. Everything else I just couldn't eat. Won't be back but that's just me.

Ordered the "Big Breakfast" at this establishment; however, everything was lukewarm when my plate arrived. The bacon was slightly undercooked. Asked the waitress if she would crisp it for me. She had me to place it on a plate, took it to the back and microwaved it. I asked if I could get some hot/ warm syrup for the already lukewarm pancakes. I was told "no" they don't warm syrup. Asked to speak with the manager to ask why I couldn't get hot/ warm syrup. The manager said " we don't take food or items from the tables to the back.... Its against health code..It's not something we've ever done before"........"really" but you just took the food from my plate to the back re-cooked it.......although the food wasn't bad.....I won't be back!!!!
