Went in on Friday night, group of 4, ordered pizza, nachos, chicken tenders and tacos. Pizza and nachos came out first.. both cold.. bartender told us well the pan is hot.. the pan can be hot and pizza still cold.. about 5 mins later, chicken tenders and tacos came out both cold.. bartender said they didn’t even sit in the window.. and then proceeded to ask me if I wanted my lettuce to be warmed up.. this was our second time here and unfortunately will not be returning.. the food coming out almost an hour later for a bar that was not busy.. the bartender claimed they were slammed for a Friday night yet the bar was empty and dining areas were no where near full. I cringe at how much worse the food and service is when they are busy. I only got a picture of the chicken tenders but for something they say is hand-cut and battered these are very sad. I would be embarrassed to even serve these. Really wanted to like this place but for the price I can get better food and service elsewhere.

We had a great meal, with outstanding, friendly service. Even though they had 3 big groups while we were there, our waitress was attentive, friendly, and we got our food in a timely manner. The grinders were top notch.
We’ll most definitely be back.

We’ve ordered take out several times over past 2 months. Orders were always ready within a few minutes of pick up times given. Always friendly service and everything ordered has been very good. Burgers, club sandwich, ravioli. I much appreciate the gluten free options! The pizza is delicious, loaded with toppings. Pictured is my gluten free cheeseless pizza that I think is the best around. We definitely will be regulars.

We have been 3 times and each time the food was prepared a different way. No consistency what so ever. Also takes forever to get the food once ordered 60-90 minutes is about average. Cocktail selection is great if you can a bartenders attention to take your order. That’s a big if. Cooks seen like they make I dish at a time and have a hard time with that. The food has always been tasty. I do hope the can get the kinks worked out. Would love to see this place succeed.

I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt on this review since they are new and trying to get the kinks worked out. If this was an established restaurant that has been around for a while I would have given them less stars. We were greeted right away and got our drinks right away but the wait for food was a bit excessive. Over an hour just for a burger and wrap and it wasn’t very busy at the time. They did have popcorn but they didn’t offer it to us until just before our food came out so if they would have offered it earlier I would have been happier about the experience. Good thing we ordered the bucket of beer to keep us busy while waiting for our food. So when when we finally did get our food it was definitely worth the wait and was delicious! The waitress was very friendly and had a great attitude so definitely give them a chance and just be patient and hopefully they will get everything figured out. I have faith that will be the case! There is not much in the area so it’s nice to have a place like this to go and have a fun time! I will definitely be back to give them a second chance and hopefully they won’t disappoint.

Ok so we returned to give them another chance and we are very happy we did! Got a table right away and I ordered the wings on wing Wednesday. I just gotta say that I was not disappointed! They were very good and the service was excellent! My wife had a salad and loved it. We will definitely be back more often!

First time going there tonight. We sat down and was greeted within the first 5 minutes. Our drinks came quickly. It was a bit of a wait for the appetizer, but our waitress did catch the mistake in the kitchen and had a new one made for us. Food was excellent. Overall, I would say they are still figuring some things out but that’s to be expected. We are looking forward to going back again soon. Thank you for a good dinner

Give them a few weeks to get in the groove, and be patient! The food was absolutely delicious, but the place was packed and from seating to actually receiving food was about 1.5 hours for our party of four adults and three kids. The waitresses were on top of drinks and super polite.

Went here for breakfast shortly after opening, was excited to have a local place to eat again. Service was horrible… eggs cooked completely wrong, got some excuse about not having the right frying pans yet?? Potatoes were way overcooked…just a bad experience. Decided to give dinner a try yesterday, service was better, wanted fish, they didn’t have it… got taco special…cold meat, no real flavor, definitely not special. It seems like they don’t really have anyone in charge who knows food or service. Things should be at their best when you first open to get people to come back… being new is no excuse. Such a shame but I won’t be giving them a 3rd chance. I know a few others with similar experience here…I don’t see them lasting unless they get a great manager and someone who can cook and who cares about food…

Two times my Husband and I have gone in. First night was quick with the waitress and she was fine. Food was good BUT it took over an hour to get. Other people walked out, heard food getting comped, etc.

Sitting in the bar as I’m typing this, the bartender was quick to get our first and only drink so far. I waited for an exact hour before making this review. No offer of taking a food order. Waitress has walked by us MULTIPLE times without asking if we’d like a second drink.
Food orders taking an hour still. Four people behind the bar… 5 tables and a half full bar, still no offer of even a drink.

Done
