Great place for my 5 - 7 year olds to play while hubby and I had great food. Impeccable and warm hearted service by Daniel. Food was great for kids and adults. Not cheap but excellent value for the money. Best meal while we were here. Had excellent stay at the hotel and will definitely want to return.

Our group of 10 had a great time, but surprised, for a BBQ Joint, that the brisket wasn't better. Hostess, Mgr and wait staff very accommodating with games on TV's, seating etc. Food & beverage delivery spotty.
