    I can't think of a better place in the area for live music. Perfect stage and lighting. Feels like a real concert and feels even larger once you're inside.

    My overall experience was good. The service was a little slow, but not because they weren’t working hard, because they were. It just seemed understaffed for the size of the establishment. Service was friendly and professional, prices a tad high, especially for the food. I ordered the country fried steak. It was extremely disappointing, especially for 13 bucks. And it only came with potato chips . It was basically a banquet patty on a dry basic hamburger bun with canned gravy. No attempt at all in trying to elevate the dish to match the price point. I don’t mind paying a fair price for decent food. I also got the nachos with queso. It was your regular concession stand nachos in the same plastic container, hardly worth the 7 bucks. I did not order a pizza, but did see a couple being served, and they looked decent. The food was extremely disappointing. But the overall atmosphere was great. Other than the food, I really enjoyed my evening and stuck around for 4-5 hrs having drinks and playing pool. I will certainly return, but will likely stop and eat elsewhere before I arrive. I feel my 4 star review is very fair since so many other things they are doing is right. And if they spend a little time revamping the menu and creating higher quality food choices, or just charge a lot lower price to match the quality of the current options. I will gladly change my review to 5 stars if something is done with the food. I look forward to returning in the near future.
