Paul KholodnySeptember 24, 2012contrary to older comments their has always been air conditioning both upstairs and downstairs...
The BBQ plate is perfect for 2 ppl if u get one extra side. Ribs are spicy!!
French toast with Blueberry compote special is really great.
Liza RamsammyJune 25, 2012Fried chicken is amaze balls! Goes great with some wheat beer ... Ohhh yeaaa
Doug WamplerDecember 31, 2014The food is good, but the beer is outrageously expensive while selection is disappointing. In 2 visits, there has only been 1 table filled when entering. Spooky.
Ari SternMarch 20, 2014Good, bit not as good as bob white. Sorry, I do love you, but bob has my heart
- Paul KholodnySeptember 24, 2012we take most credit cards (visa, amex, master card), but no I-O-U's or checks... Cash is King Though.
Matthew RodgersJuly 7, 2013Closed on Father's Day. What efing restaurant closes for Father's Day ?????
BethJune 7, 2014Food is mediocre and the service is absolutely terrible. Waitress never came over after hastily taking the order. After giving this place numerous chances I will not be back. Save your money!
Ha DiemAugust 17, 2014Food was okay, but the service was horrible. Went during brunch and they were out of everything (Mimosas, steak, pork chops, etc.) Would not recommend.
Emily LeeJanuary 20, 2014Been here for an hour & no food delivered. Host admitted they messed up, but after half hour still no food! Wow, could be a record in my book
