Went on late Monday afternoon, it wasn't busy. It took about 30 minutes to get our food (4 people), and our server appeared to be newer, as he didn't quite provide the level of service we are used to in the past. The meals were good, and he picked up the pace towards the end. Noted since my last visit they don't give out wet wipes anymore and it was a bit hard to get extra napkins. Still the best in the local area compared to others we have visited.

Had a reservation. Food arrived 45 minutes after we ordered. Kitchen equipment high pitched alarm (French fryer?) was going off 98% of the time we are there. Annoying sound that gets on your nerves after time. There was general high noise level. Constant moving of tables & chairs from one area to another. Our first time there. A chaotic experience, not a relaxing fun meal experience. They had 3 large groups - getting most attention from wait staff & kitchen. Food was good. Not sure we’ll try again…

The food was terrible. The ribs were dry and tough. The chicken was dry and tough. The burnt ends might as well been beef jerky bites. The sauce was separating while on the meat. Overall a bad experience with the food. Our waitress was lovely and very friendly and helpful. The waitress is what made the experience good.

We had reservations for 5:30 on Mother's Day. Despite the restaurant being very busy, we were seated immediately, and our order taken promptly. The service, food, and quality of the food were excellent, and we enjoyed our dinner very much.
