Reviews
No one greeted us when we walked in. We waited about 15 minutes just to be acknowledged and seated. Instead of a server helping us, the kitchen manager eventually came out and told us the kitchen was already closed even though the restaurant’s posted closing time is midnight.
I completely understand that staff want to go home on time, but if your hours say you close at 12, customers should reasonably expect to be served until then. That’s not the customer’s responsibility to manage.
To make matters worse, several servers were standing around on their phones and chatting instead of assisting guests.
Very unprofessional and frustrating experience. If the kitchen closes earlier than the dining room, that should be clearly communicated not discovered after customers have already waited.
I understand that maybe they are under staffed , but thats not the customers problem.
We should not be waiting for a table to be seated, when i see 15 to 20 empty tables.
Food was good, but i am seating at a table a distance away from the bar….and I had to ask to have the TV channel changed from the news to the football game. Come on, what type of restaurant has the local news playing when there are sports on TV.
The service was fast. We sat at the last booth available and our food orders came out under 10 minutes. We ordered a chicken bowl and rib plate. Both tasted great.
You can use the ordering tablet on the table or go the old fashion way with the water or waitress.

General Comments: Server was super friendly.
When our food came it was hot, everything seemed fresh, and nothing,apparently, had been left sitting round, to get cold. Our desserts were, likewise, delicious, and all shared around.
The décor is pleasant, personal is helpful and cheerful, handicap availability for the bathroom and parking is there, and seating is available for large groups.
We went around 1 and was expecting a lunch rush but to our surprise we went in and were seating within minutes. The hostess and waitress we interacted with today were amazing. Our food came out hot and I was glad to be able to get a cheeseburger in a lettuce wrap! All my son wanted was yogurt and strawberries.
