    Extremely busy and seemed under staff. Was there for 2.5hrs for wings. Food was cold :( Waitress was very overwhelmed. She did as best she could but had way too many tables.

    The chicken parmesan was goid but the pasta was not cooked well. It came with a clump of pasta that was hard and stuck together. When asked for parmesan and extra sauce it took a LONG time and the extra sauce was cold which was not realized until after it was added to the pasta. Wrecked dinner! Two others in our group also had pasta which they said was good but much chicken in the dish. I had the wings which were OK. It also took a LONG time to get hot tea. It seems that if you order anything that isn't Roadhouse fare, you're taking a chance. All of us agreed that we will NOT be going back.

    I made reservations for 8 days ahead. When we arrived they sat us at a table situated in a walkway with folding chairs. When I asked if we could be moved they hit me with a table with no apology. Service was horrible, incorrect orders and the food arrived cold after waiting over an hour to be served.

    The staff were amazing the food was good but I was a little disappointed that the mashed potato's didn't come with butter and the steak was rather plain. Don't know what they put in there HP sauce bottles but it was not original HP sauce. It was something out of a vinegar bottle. My husband who loves HP sauce even thought something was up with that sauce.
