    The security runs the place like it owns the mfuckin place. Brandon (security) has a habit of pushing patrons around, no possibility of a logical argument here. You rub him wrong he gets you lol!

    Beef nachos were good & Stone IPA hit the spot. Pizza crust could use improvements, but toppings were good.

    Chicken nachos were the best damn nachos I've ever had... But I have to come out and say it: what the hell is up with the little girls room always smelling like cat shit? Seriously. A litter box.
