It’s amazing how these folks can turn tables and feed a crowd, and take turns on the karaoke machine! The food was delicious, the singing was good, and the waiters were actually having fun

Every Mountain You Dan Climb Sundae, with 12 scoops of ice cream (6 favors) and everything else you can think of (cookies, bananas, whip cream, etc.). 7 of us couldn't finish it for dessert.

It's always worth the wait to get in here. The singers are amazing and have a sense of humor, and the food is awesome too.

Split a plate - the portions are perfect for sharing! Tried the Smokey Bacon Burger with Onion Rings.
