Ok - three of us ordered wings which were a lot over cooked and pretty dry. The fries were ok. My wife had a burger which she said was good.

The food took a LONG TIME to come out and there were many more tables empty versus occupied. I was under whelmed by the food. Service was very average, not on top of our needs. Not really impressed in the least.

The manger on Saturday night 11/22/25 was very very rude. I had a previous order of wings that was not prepared like I requested and I just wanted to discuss the matter with the manger. I wasn’t looking for a refund or discount on my current order. I just wanted to inform them of the issue so it wouldn’t happen again. The male caucasian manager was very unprofessional and condescending off the top. So I canceled my order and no one wanted to even give me his name. My family and I will probably never come back to this location. I’m was very disappointment and humiliated because I wasn’t looking for any handouts. I am a very successful business individual.

We decided to give this place a try last night,
I'm a car guy so the atmosphere was perfect.
Let me tell you about the cleanliness of the restaurant though
They seated in the middle section where the roof was leaking and something sticky was all over the floor.
As I walked around looking at the cool cars and motorcycles hanging from the ceiling I realized just how dusty they were and wondered how long they had been hanging there untouched.
We ordered an appetizer of coconut shrimp first then shrimp were ok but they were dipped in cold sauce which wasn't very appetizing.
I ordered the unlimited chicken wings and fries all three orders I tried were overcooked and very hard surprisingly enough my fries were very good. 👍
My wife ordered the chicken breast with a baked potato, her chicken breast wasn't fit to eat however the baked potato was top notch.
So I would recommend order the potatoes. 😁
Our waiter was trying very hard so I do give him credit for that.
