Thank you so much for your patience and for your help. I'm a happy and satisfied customer and definitely coming back.
- DBDavid BussenOct 4, 20253.0Prices are already $5 more on every item than they should be, then they try to tack on a 5% fee on top of that. What a joke.
- SSStevSep 16, 20255.0I bought a burger for my son. He says it's very, very tasty. Thank you very much! It was unexpected.
- JDJulie DennisSep 14, 20253.0This place is alright- nothing spectacular. The food was ok and seemed reasonably priced for the area. I had the shrimp and grits and it was lacking the sausage it was supposed to come with, and the grits themselves lacked the white cheddar flavor, but it wasn’t bad overall. My boyfriend had the steak. He ordered it medium rare and it came out well done. He wasn’t going to complain but the manager asked how our meal was so my boyfriend spoke up. The manager got him another, which was nice. I will say the cut of meat itself was pretty gristly (both times) and I think it’s a bit strange that an order of a whole steak comes out of the kitchen already cut into strips. The cocktails were good, and the wine pours are generous, so that was a plus. For two cocktails, 2 glasses of wine and 2 entrees, we paid $151, before tip (though I suspected automatic gratuity was included in that- I just couldn’t see since it an electronic check). We went bowling after- just the 2 of us for an hour (no drinks or food) and were shocked at the price; $78. So overall, meh. We won’t be going back but it wasn’t terrible.
