- CKChelsea Kealey!hh4 days ago5.0Kansas was awesome! Super friendly, easygoing, and really on top of everything. They made great recommendations, kept our drinks full, and made the whole experience relaxed and fun. Definitely one of those servers who makes you want to come back. Would happily sit in Kansas’s section again!

- COCody Oliver5 days ago5.0Randi was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly attentive, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. She made sure every detail of our experience was perfect and went out of her way to be considerate and thoughtful. Dining with her service made our meal truly enjoyable — highly recommend asking for Randi if you visit!

- JJJoshDec 21, 20252.0I've eaten here many times. Foods always good. But twice now ive ordered takeout online. I set pickup time 1 hr from when I ordered it. The first time the order didn't come in until I set the pick up time so i had to wait 20 min. Tonight I had to wait 15 minutes after pickup time. They weren't busy or anything. I don't understand how you can request food being ready in 1 hr and then you have to wait an additional 15 min. Especially when there's a extra fee to order online. I recommend not ordering online and just calling in your takeout order.
