    Service was great and food was good but onion rings came out cold. When you order a burger, the fries/onion rings should come really hot. In my opinion, when I order a burger, the fries/onion rings are just as important as the burger.

    Thank you for your feedback, Derek! We're glad you enjoyed the service and food overall but apologize that the onion rings didn’t meet expectations. We’ll share your comments with our team to ensure a better experience next time. We hope to serve you again soon! -Najjah

    Our server Aaron (spelling? ) was wonderful- attentive, friendly, knowledgeable, and cared about each of my elderly father's needs which is not often found in restaurants these days. Food was very yummy, covered a wide variety of diets and preferences, and was warm/quickly served. Only slowdown was at dessert course, but it was at the end of the night right before closing time. We would go back again and again as well as recommend for anyone looking for good food at good price in a lovely atmosphere.

    Thank you for such a thoughtful review, Megan! We're delighted Aaron made your visit special and that you enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We appreciate your understanding about the dessert timing and can’t wait to welcome you and your family back again! -Najjah

    The food and drinks were really awful. I’ve eaten at this chain before and I am really disappointed. I’ve never ordered a margarita and left it almost completely untouched. The risotto was so cheesy it was inedible. The highlight of the meal was the biscuits.

    Party of 8 + baby and they sat us in the booth that was circular. It felt like our conversations were just for us. The room was full of customers but the sound stayed moderate. It was quite magical. Had a beautiful brunch, it was delicious and the price point was amazing. We all felt grateful to be together and dining at such a special place. Thank FF and staff

    Service was great, wine and cocktails were good, for dinner chicken fried steak was very salty and tough, meatloaf was not seasoned enough. Crab and artichoke dip was ok but I will not order again. This is the second time this location food was not great so I won’t be back.
