    I feel like a place who has "award winning wings" should definitely have homemade ranch. They gave us that pre packaged stuff and it was disgusting...

    30 people, 2 hours, only 1 waiter. Unpleasant experience 29.99 dollars for ten wings and handful of cheese curds. YES, we did call ahead of time with the # of our large party. NO, I won't be back .Think the rubbery wings might have been microwaved?

    Came here for the first time and I ordered the chicken strips. They were freshly battered and good and crispy. The coleslaw was good, the fries tasted a little old. The tiny honey mustard was filled half way. All in all the food was great for everyone but the service could’ve been better.

    Food was good, service was excellent. They even gave my daughter a piece of cheesecake for her birthday. Not a lot of places do that anymore, so we were grateful!
