This place was very good but incredibly busy at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. There seems to be wait at all times here. As long as you plan for a wait and it doesn't bother you, you will likely love it. I had the special, crabcake salad...Read More

We had the pork chop (Cooked to perfection), ribs, and rotisserie chicken dish. And for the starter I ordered the jumbo shrimp. Excellent value for money. The 5 shrimp were very big! Have to go back to try the artichokes!

Great service, great food, great venue. Definitely not a meal you want to rush. Tried the chicken sandwich, spinach and artichoke dip and cheezy bread and it was all absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is awesome.

My only complaints are that it took me asking twice to get a condiment bought to the table, and they were sold out of an appetizer. We had a reservation but still had a 10-minute wait for our table. Overall experience was excellent, The food was outstanding....Read More
