It’s been a while since I’ve been here and I came for some wings and I guess they don’t have them anymore. I ended up getting the Nashville hot chicken sandwich… best decision I could’ve made. It was delicious, fresh, crispy and hot. I subbed the cheese...Read More

First time trying and I'll be back. Walked in, got seated right away, and a server came and asked if we had any questions or wanted drinks. The server was knowledgeable and friendly and the drinks and food came out quick. …

We brought my husband here for Father's Day and tried other things. We had the cowboy burger, fish, pulled pork, and chicken. The food was so good!

They earned all 5 stars. Yes, I scored the service at 3/5 stars because they were understaffed and need to work on developing a culture where people want to work here. I get it, it's difficult, but others are successful at it...Read More

Boneless wings (Buffalo) are lightly breaded and really good!!! Our server recommended marshmallow sauce with my sweet potato fries…YUM. Had chocolate lava bomb cake for desert and was very rich but the perfect few bites for the end of a meal.
