1st visit – just me, early lunch (11:30am), weekday, only 3 customers total, sat at bar – young female bartender was attentive & overall great, took order immediately, refilled drink often – only got fried mushroom basket but took almost 20 minutes to get it – food was hot, tasted good & order was accurate.
2nd visit – my daughter & I, late lunch (2pm), weekday, a few tables with customers, sat at table – a different young female server was attentive & friendly, took order immediately when we signaled that we were ready, refilled drinks often – food again took quite a while to arrive, but was hot, yummy & exactly as ordered.
3rd visit – 4 people (2 couples), late lunch (1pm), Saturday, a few other tables with customers, sat at table – young male server took a very long time to arrive, took a very long time to come back to take order, only refilled drink when I actually raised my cup & shook it at him! He was very very busy flirting with the young college girls that came in & ignored every other table. Food finally came out & was as ordered, yummy & hot. Had to go walk over to the server finally to get his attention to get the check. He was absolutely awful. That visit was the last visit.
Yes the food is always hot, accurate & yummy, when it finally comes out. Yes, it’s strange & a little annoying that the food always takes a long time to arrive, no matter the number of customers (see the empty tables in my photos), but the atmosphere was fun so the wait was fine. But having a server that flat out rolls his eyes at you when you do finally get him to come over, every time, that was enough for us. We haven’t been back since. But that’s just us. If you’re OK taking a chance on getting him as your server, then go check them out. Like I said, the food is really good. That shrimp po boy was honestly 1 of the best I’ve had in the area & that homemade bang bang sauce was bang on. They also have trivia night.
We ended up deciding on just ordering a bunch of apps. It was a great idea and more than enough to feed us all. Food was really good and we will absolutely be back .All in all a great experience no hassle or pressure at all.
