    Sad to say the ribeye steaks my wife and I got where very poor. Looked good but very tough. Maybe just got a bad batch of meat. Everything else was top notch. Lovely place with outstanding service from start to finish. Was so good I couldnt bring myself to complain about the steak. Kids got the chicken sandwich and burger. Both where very good. Got very busy as we where leaving but the staff looked like they had it all under control. So in ending I'm not sure if I would rush back but going by how popular it was I should probably give it another go

    Ordered take out. Full rack of ribs, $30, was 6 ribs, dry and overcooked. Amount of fries was laughably small. Wasn’t even full after I finished. Overpriced and unusually low quality. Never ordering here again. Sorry not sorry
