    Great experience! Ended up being more people than reserved for but the staff was very accommodating, attentive, and served with a positive attitude. Food was great as well! Loved the fried chicken deviled eggs & the jumbo wings. Received an Apple dump cake for a birthday treat… soooo good!!

    Everything was great, from being greeted at the door, to the ambiance, to the bourbon and beer selection. I had the Brisket Reuben, with waffle fries, and it was a 10/10! Service was also a 10/10. Currently planning another outing there.

    We loved the atmosphere and the setup of the restaurant. We ordered the chicken and waffles and the 18 hr brisket, sausage link, a side of eggs, with water and draft beer. The waffles and chicken were ok. The beer was cold. The brisket was extraordinarily bland and dry. The sausage was without taste as well. I was really disappointed with the food we got. I only did not make a fuss at the urging of my girlfriend who was visiting.

    The only food I had that was good were the fried pickles. The hamburger meat was old, dark, dry & unseasoned. The french fries tasted like they had been cook in old oil. Unfortunately, I won't be back.

    Went for a Sunday brunch and things were okay except our waiter was quite a letdown. He didn’t bring any plates after we ordered an appetizer which was weird until the server who dropped off the shareable immediately came back with small plates. While ordering the main entrees I was surprised when the waiter asked how I liked my eggs cooked for an eggs Benedict. Apparently “poached” isn’t possible which I find weird since it’s a signature piece of an eggs Benedict. Lastly, after some of us were done eating, and others were still munching (including myself), he proceeded to take away the shareable plates that still had a full serving of food on it. He didn’t even check if we wanted the full piece of bacon. The server proceeded to take away all the dishes and throw everything away. I’ve been here before and I enjoyed the food and atmosphere but this time I really felt like me and my party of 3 were a nuisance to our waiter. It’s been some years since my first visit but I was pretty disappointed in this last experience.

    Thanks for the feedback, Brandon. We're sorry to hear about your experience with our waiter. I understand how important good service is and am committed to making necessary improvements. I would love to have you back, and will insure you're well taken care of!

    Food was average. Chicken wings didn't have a lot of flavor. Our server seemed annoyed with our party of six. Manager kind but probably won't be back.
