    Excellent food and service. Really great value for top notch food. Well done ribeye steak came out well done but still juicy and delicious. Restaurant was full but food still came out quickly. Attentive and helpful server.

    A wonderful atmosphere. A fun place to eat and visit. The staff is excellent... from the hostesses to the servers, to the bartenders! All are friendly and very professional.

    Very nice place and excellent service. Three of us ordered steak and 1 was undercooked and another was very tough. Great salad and wings though. All in all it was a nice place and we would go back.

    I like this place been here a few times only got two drinks the whole time I was there was planning on like 4 or 5 main thing I go out to eat for mostly. server was slacking off making conversations with anyone that would give her attention. disappeared for like 20 minutes at one time I was right next to the bar drinks sat there for a few minutes after they were done and when she came to the bar to get the drinks it took her a few minutes to actually serve them as she talked about whatever picking them up. I just expect to have good service i always tip good I expect the same for service that place could be self serve and make a lot more money. it just makes for a stressful experience when you wanna have a good time and not worry about where did my server disappear to.

    Our server wasn’t very attentive. Both steaks were over cooked. Never did the server ask how is everything tasting or could he get us anything at the moment. Just “doing oaky”. This was our 2nd time here and it wasn’t as amazing as the first.
