They did not honor open table reservation. We waited over an hour tobe seated and a hour and a half for the food to be served. Many people were turn away with open table reservations.

There was one wait staff working the entire restaurant other than the bar area. We waited way longer than what could’ve considered as reasonable. Jackson was great, but he was left all alone with no help. I will not be back

I think I just ordered the wrong thing, did not like the beef tips. There was not much flavor to them, unless you use the sauce. Child did like their new shrimp. I wish they would’ve had an option for a grill barbecue shrimp. The way the staff was very slow. The host was kind of difficult to deal with, all in all, I think I’d come back and try the brisket, that looks great.

Wife was savoring BabyBack ribs, but they had none left by 6:15pm. Disappointing. Wife ordered a side salad with no tomatoes or cucumbers, but diced tomatoes were all over it. I order a brisket and chicken combo, but left hungry. Sides were pretty small portions. The draft beer was fine. Pretty pricey for what we got, especially leaving hungry. We tried but won't be going back.
