- PMPatty M5 days ago3.0On inquiry of Barely warm mac n cheese staff referred to as served from “Steaming” mac n cheese. Offered addition of queso. Oh well
- DLDreame LemonJan 6, 20261.0Was really good but unfortunately 2/4 of my party did get food poisoning :( unsure what caused it but we had the rice cream corn brisket and turkey. I advise retraining staff to handle the food more carefully and safely. Nothing seemed undercooked but perhaps it was cross contamination or improper storing temperatures. Sorry but I may not be returning for a while.😓
