    This place is way over priced. Almost $20 for an alligator appetizer which was more breading than meat. 😒 I didn't even feel like my cup was clean after I watched the bartender handle a bunch of dirty dishes, not wash her hands and then put them all over a clean cup where I put my mouth. I'm not a germaphobe but eww.

    The food was delicious (the bison chili and bison meatloaf!), but my server wasn’t very hospitable. It put a damper on my experience.

    While our waitress was awesome my fries came out nasty and old tasting no even hot. And while sitting there eating a lady comes through with a trash can full of trash then goes back through with same trash can empty. I would think you should do that when it closed not while you're guests are eating they're food. This was my first time here. Not sure I'll be back.

    Food was hot, fresh, and cooked perfectly. The hostess was very friendly as well as our waitress. The atmosphere is very cozy as it has the Bass Pro vibes. There was a fireplace burning and a giant fish aquarium back behind the bar. They were not very busy when my party of five came in. Our waitress was a little slow considering they were not busy.
