    My second time here the first time was better my friend and I ordered the steak sandwich bundle deal well our waitress only put one order in so when my friends steak sandwich came out I asked where mine was for some reason the waitress thought we were going to share the one meal smh so she went back to put my order in and they ran out of the steak sandwich so in turn they offered me a different sandwich at the same price for the bundle which was good but the steak sandwich was $15 and the fried green tomato sandwich was $13 then waited 30 mins for my meal to come out at this time my friend was already done with her meal after receiving my meal it did not come with the rosemary chips so here I am now finally eating after waiting for an hr after ordering also received my appetizer after the hour long wait I thought appetizers come before the meal but I also didn’t think I would have to wait 30 mins for each drink either when I got my bill the 20% gratuity was already included which was not earned the waitress was just wondering around like a deer in headlights didn’t know which way was up didn’t ask how r meal was didn’t ask if we needed anything else every time I wanted another drink I had to go find her and ask her for one I never had to track down a waitress just to order a drink I don’t know if it was just the waitress or just the night but I was not happy this time. The first time I went I had an amazing time this time going I don’t think I’ll be back sorry

    Loved the ambience and moody atmosphere. Wait staff and over all experience was 5 stars! The staff members were happy to answer any questions and make sure we were content! The food is okay for appetizers and the mixed cocktails were overpoweringly sweet but we did like everything we tried overall and would go again.

    It was my date’s first time and she asked when we can come back. She absolutely loved everything about it. Dan & Krissy have the single best establishment in the state. Highly professional, dedication to service and experience. Great ambience. Mature crowd. 11/10.
