    Got to Resturant at 7pm. Seated by 7:15. Was told by waitress that kitchen was backed up. Our server (Haley) was fantastic! The food from ordering to table was about 1 hour but we knew about the delay. The food was horrible. First the item I ordered was 86’d so I had to order something else. Everyone else was able to get what they originally ordered. The one steak ordered was ordered medium and it came out cold and well well well done. Could barely cut it. Some of the other items were edible but either cold or over cooked. The patrons around us all had issues and meals were being comped left and right. Not once did the manager ever make an appearance to touch tables…the servers were yelling at each other in the dining room and the stress level in the restaurant could be cut with a knife. Absolutely horrible experience minus our server (Haley). Would not recommend

    Bad service from the hostess skipping over us, to the server, to the slow kitchen. It did no good to call ahead & ask that our name be put on list. But while waiting, we saw a couple come in & get seated right away. We saw someone we knew there, & they said they had been waiting about 30 minutes, yet we got seated before they did. We were in there exactly 2 hours. The table had no utensils or napkins. The server "Cayden" did not notice. Later someone brought us our blooming onion, & didn't hear us when we asked for utensils, napkins, & a couple of saucers. So we ate without them. About a half hour between each & any real service. Long wait fot tea refill. When we finally get our entree, no baked sweet potato as I ordered. Server came by couple minutes later & said they were out of sweet potatos & offered a substitution. What a joke - wait 30 minutes longer for a substitution!? Not! Salmon was good. Twice as many mushrooms as needed. Ribs were not good. Tiny. Small. Not meaty. Drowned in black pepper taste & swimming in too much sauce. Waited long time for container, & cheesecake to go, which was ordered that way when we ordered the entree. Last week we had excellent food & service at Driftwood Seafood, & in & out in about an hour. Week before that, went to Tori Blue & had great food & service in about an hour. Two weeks before that, Fleming Mountain Grill. Excellent food & service! And these other great places don't make you check yourself out on that table machine. And the booths that are decades old are terribly uncomfortable.

    Food- I went here a week ago and some of the chicken wings were raw! The manager took it off our tab and also gave us free appetizer cards. A week later when I returned to buy a $16.99 plus tax grilled chicken Cobb salad and use my free appetizer card, the nearly $20 salad took over 45 minutes to come out when there was only 3 other tables. When it came out it had only 2-3 oz of chicken on it (I weigh my food at home so I know what this looks like). The manager said 5 oz comes on it which I told her she could go weigh it bc I know it’s not 5 oz. It literally looked like 1/2 of a chicken breast sprinkled on top. I’m talking 5 small pieces less than the size of a quarter. I wouldn’t have even minded being cheated on that part IF the salad base itself was high value but it’s not. It’s just the cheap chopped romaine, no arugula or spring mix type of blend. I was so pissed that I waited so long for so little which was already overpriced. I told the manager they could just keep it. Service- The young guy bringing out the food from the kitchen was visibly high or off in some way. He dropped a mozzarella stick on the lap of the person I was eating with as he was sitting the plate on the table. Atmosphere- A very loud and depressing selection of alternative and country music blaring while waiting my life away for the sorriest salad I’ve ever seen. Never returning for this reason alone. If you want an upbeat happy atmosphere to eat in do not go here. If you want high quality food do not go here. If you want an overpriced redneck salad with very little protein, go here.
