    Really happy with price point/value. The menu is HUGE and easily can please any palette. Easy place for big parties or kids as well.

    Cole Slaw is great. Sometimes the food is not predictable. You don't always get the same quality, quantity or style when ordering the same dish from trip to trip.

    Grilled wings, bleu cheese on the side. Don't forget to get your photo taken with the giant 'gator near the bathroom.

    They're not kidding about 2 for 1 drafts. You get them simultaneously. Pickle chips are thick and crunchy.

    This is our 1st time here and it's been a bad experience. The bartender forgot about us and her boss was hanging with his friends while our beer glasses went empty. Poor service w/only 6 ppl @the bar.

    2/19/2011 Asked waitress about free chips and salsa. Manager said corporate put this on here but just bring it to them. So good luck getting it. Lousy chips anyway.
