One of the best places for lunch and happy hour for sure 😊 always happy to see my favorite waitress Ricki, she’s so helpful & friendly. All the employees are very nice & managers always check on customers but most of all Ricki.

I have to say every time Erin takes care of us we always get the best service. She is fast efficient and always treats us like family. The food is awesome I love the new burger deal. It's the perfect amount of food. Great deal for the price. I love the ambiance music is fun and the garage doors open was nice

Place is clean, friendly enough. Food is good, country fried steak was not phenomenal but okay. The drinks were delicious but disappointing that the strawberry margarita was water like & not slushie. Waiter was good, food came out fast. The queso dip & chips were so delicious!

Food was decent for this type of restaurant. Service by Clarissa was absolutely awful. Idk where she was, but it wasn’t serving tables. The kitchen staff had to come out and ask how the “starters” were because they sat back on the line waiting to be served for so long. I was almost done with my food before I got my drink. I would not choose to go here again. Staff that actually cares about customers, regardless of the establishment, goes a long way.
