Server started closing up half hour before closing, told me drinks weren’t available, though I watched skip guys come and go.
Beer selection is fantastic, happy hour menu is highly recommended especially the 6” spicy beef quesadilla. Bad server but great time

Food was great service not so much our waitress used autism in a very derogatory way which we took offence as we have an autistic son. This was extremely uncalled for and very unprofessional.

Came in with wife to use gift card. After ordering food and giving waitress gift card, we paid. Then was informed that she had forgotten to use gift card. The only reason of coming gout was to use gift card. Then we were informed formed that she could not refund part of the bill or give cash back. So all in all was a bad experience and more then likely won't co.e back, will also be letting known our experience. To bad really. Also after giving a tip. Also being told that she couldn't refund or stop order Was a very disappointing experience.
