Went as a large group for lunch, and didn’t call ahead (apologies wasn’t my idea!) but they were very accommodating and everything still came out fast.
The food was very good, and as I mentioned did not take long from order time to table. Portion sizes are also very large for the price! Looking at $10-$20 per person without drinks. (Average for our group was about $15 before drinks)
The waitress was very nice, and spent an appropriate amount of time checking on our table to refill drinks and see if we needed anything. Never felt like I had to ask for anything, and also served everyone a water which I always think is a nice touch.
Overall, great spot to grab lunch. The deals they have during the week also make it a great spot to go during a lunch break. Super sad I’m visiting as I’d love to come here again.
I appreciate how hands-on the manager is with both the team and the customers. Years ago, I found that a bit unusual, but now I genuinely like seeing leadership involved. Our waiter was also very friendly and kind to my boys, which I truly appreciated.
My only critique is around team communication. It seemed like there was a disconnect between the waiter and the server. My waiter reassured me that all our food wouldn’t come out at once, but the server delivered everything back-to-back. With two little ones reaching for everything, it made things a bit challenging.
Overall, great service — just a little more coordination would make the experience even better.
To top it off, the District Manager and GM were on location with less than 15 people in the place, you would think the cooks would look to impress them and management would look to ensure the customers plates were perfect.
They took the ribs off the bill, said they were taking the burger off but didn’t, and left the bowl on there. 60 bucks plus tip thrown in the trash. Save your money.
We returned about a week later because it was the best option at that time and location for what we were doing, and our location —to stop, sit, and grab something. So… we went again! So disappointed
The service, again, was slow. They had plenty of staff, which I observed. The food was bland and cold. Again, I had chicken tacos (an appetizer that is honestly my favorite OMG so good ) and warm French onion soup! My husband’s bacon burger only had three pieces of bacon on it. Seriously???
First review: This particular night was busy. Service was slower than usual, but that was acceptable. My only complaint was that my appetizer was cold.
