Went for lunch, had the fish and chips and was amazed how good it was, probably the best I've had at a roadhouse.

Very nice meal with good friends. Service was excellent. The only real issue’s were that it was cold. Should have requested a table further away from the doors. The front door system is really badly designed and that’s it’s extremely dark in the restaurant. They need to invest in brighter lighting at the tables and over the booths

The service was excellent and the staff were attentive and friendly. However, the Shrimp Bang Bang was served extremely hot and unfortunately burned both my wife’s and my mouth. Since it’s a deep-fried dish, a bit more care should be taken to ensure it’s served at a safe temperature. Overall, a good experience in terms of service, but this dish could use better handling.

The rice in my tuna poke bowl was very chewy - simply not cooked enough. Otherwise tasty. The service was very good. The music was a little loud. Made talking within our small group difficult.
Update - was contacted by the manager and received an e-card for my next visit. Was great to receive such a prompt response demonstrating our business is valued.
