Patrick HMarch 24, 2018The food is excellent wait staff friendly. Doesn’t take long for your food no matter what you order. Go here every week or more. Great place. Sometimes noon hour can be packed. But still fast
Isaiah RutherfordMarch 12, 2013Boneless hot wings and a mudslide is the best combo ever ! Especially after a hard day of work. Definitely my new favorite spot for after work drinks.- Isaiah RutherfordMarch 12, 2013Cheyenne was an amazing waitress, she was kind and quick with service, definitely made sure I had everything I needed. Best service I've had in a long time.
Sit at the bar. Pretty much every bartender here is amazing! Great conversationalists, great service, and always good food!
Meredith PociusOctober 21, 2017The food is excellent there and the server did a excellent job at taking care of her customers.
Free Wi-Fi, open late every night but Sunday, and being remodeled. Stop in and check it out....
- Shannon HoffmanMarch 16, 2018The firecracker Shrimp. Pasta says is a new spicy dish. Bummed...not one ounce spicy....
- James JonesAugust 18, 2014Even more bummed that the cook didn't or couldn't follow what we thought were clear requests: no seasoning (and salt is a seasoning) on fries, and quesadilla with just cheese.
$1 drink specials most months lately... come for the drinks, stay for the food!
Make sure you grab Wali as your server! Great smile and great service!
Jodi at bar was incredible server and just amazing with my 11 year old daughter. Best service person I can remember this year!
Anna LDecember 9, 2012Don't sit in the middle where it feels like you're sitting right with other people. Need better partitions.
Gary N.January 6, 2012Usually our food and service has been good at this location. For whatever reason, not so much tonight. We'll still come back.
Mauricio is the best waiter ever! Get the triple meltdown for dessert!
Millie PFebruary 19, 2012Server was too worried about making plans with girlfriend instead of serving. If try to sit you in Eli's section asked to be moved or you might wait 20 minutes for a refill on your drink.
Clayton MastersApril 7, 2014"Do you have IPA on tap?" "What's an IPA?" EATING GOOD IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
Fabio SondaOctober 2, 2015The dining room is absolutely freezing whenever its not busy because of customers' body heat, and I brought home a takeout meal to find a blatantly obvious hair on my food. Not going back.
Kelsey VermillionMay 14, 2011Not the greatest service. Almost forgot to seat us and messed up the order.
