How can I visit Australia and not eat Aussie BBQ? A popular summer pastime, it is often referred to as a "barbie". In my research, one of the places that keeps coming up was Hurricane's Grill. So I headed there after a rainy day at the museums around 3 pm, but I learned my first foodie experience in Sydney - a lot of restaurants are closed between 3 pm and 5 pm. So if you are looking for a meal around that time, you better have a snack. So, I went back to my hotel and then return later on that evening! Hurricane's Grill was established in 1994 in Sydney's famous Bondi Beach. It is styled in similar concept of a South African steakhouse by co-founder and owner of Craig Goldberg. I ordered: a half slab of beef ribs (gluten free). garlic bread and a salad because I need balance. The meat was mouth-watering, tender, and tasty. The basting sauce, which was developed by Craig's father, was delicious. The garlic bread.. had just the right about of garlicky goodness. The salad had the freshest tomatoes. Oh, by the way, a half of slab of beef ribs was too much for me! read more

U.S Reviewer here. Just a heads up. Location (5/5): Inside the Harbourside Mall which is really close to Darling Harbour. The location is right next to the Pyrmont Bridge so it has great views and the restaurant is pretty big. No complaints here. Service (3/5): From my usual service in the U.S. which includes tips, I would say the service is better in the US. However, since there is no tip included in Australia, they took my order and delivered my food without issue. So I guess no complaints there. Didn't really get checked on during the meal until I flagged my waiter down for my bill. Food (2/5): I can't believe this place is on a lot of "must-try's" or "top-10" lists for Sydney NSW. The portions might be good but the quality of food is definitely not up to par. I'm pretty sure I've had better home-made garlic bread and ribs that I heated up in my own oven than the food here unfortunately. I highly recommend coming to the US and trying out our steakhouses and ribs in order to understand the rating. 1.) Garlic Bread - I ordered the garlic bread because who doesn't like garlic bread? Big mistake. Barely any garlic spread inside the bread and the bread itself wasn't very good. I took two bites and left the rest of the loaf unfinished. 2.) Pork Ribs / Steak Combo - I wanted to try out both the ribs and steaks in one go and was sadly disappointed in both sides. The steak was cooked okay at medium-rare but was very bland in taste. The highly recommended Pork Ribs came out sort of with a burnt taste and the sauce not super flavorful. The meat does not fall off the bone and requires you to really cut it off the bone and use your mouth to "rip" off the meat. If you guys are in the US, definitely try out Henry's Hi-Life in San Jose,CA or the award winning Phil's BBQ in San Diego,CA to really taste what good ribs/steaks are. Overall a bad food experience compared to what you can get in the US. Service/Location is definitely nice though and I could see why people would come here as its a nice establishment for a business meal/date. I would not come here for the food though. read more

Wonderful views - extensive menu - pricey. This is my first restaurant in Sydney so take my pricing comment with a grain of salt. The best one we had was the teriyaki chicken wings. The rest were above average but not great they are the fish and Chips, Wygu beef burger, and the scallops. The borewors (South African beef sausage) is a good value for $25 because it came with 4 sausage. The taste has very distinctive beef flavor. read more

Hurricanes is a bar and grill famous for their succulent ribs and BBQ meat. The Hurricanes menu is that popular, they have a number of venues around Sydney. You can guarantee a good protein fix there! We visited the Darling Harbour location and you can find it in the Harbourside shopping centre overlooking the harbour with a view of the Sydney skyline. It is a spacious venue with floor to ceiling glass to take advantage of the views. It is extremely large with plenty of tables, a bar and open plan so you could easily host a large party. We arrived at 12 noon and within 15 minutes the place was packed! It clearly is very popular and for good reason. We were promptly taken to our table by lovely staff and seated right at the windows with a lovely outlook. We perused the menu and began with some drinks. The passionfruit mojito was excellent, and you can also get a number of other cocktails, beers and wines from their bar. Food wise, we obviously ordered some ribs!Hurricanes are famous for their ribs and steaks and they use a unique basting sauce to provide a lovely flavour to their meats. Meat cuts are all halal certified from their suppliers and can have no sauce upon request. Since we wanted a try of all of them, we opted for the meat platter with pork, lamb and beef ribs. Whilst they were all good, pork was our favourite. They came with some tasty fries and it was a generous serving. Whilst hurricanes may not be known first and foremost as a seafood restaurant, but there's plenty of seafood options too and we found it to be of excellent quality. Perfectly cooked, the scallops and mussels were served in the open shell, and the platter came with split prawns, half a lobster, salmon fillet, tempura prawns and salt and pepper squid. Served atop a plate of rice, all items were delicious. Whilst we didn't have a steak on this visit, Hurricanes are notorious for their steak. There's numerous meats and cuts to select from. Whether it be the rump, strip stirloin, fillet tenderloin or T bone, you will find your perfect match. Wagyu, dry aged or long fed beef, Meats come with your choice of fries, salad or baked potato and you can order a sauce to accompany it. Hurricanes also serve other main menu items like beef cheeks, lamb cutlets, pork knuckle, grilled chicken, burgers and more. If you are super hungry or a couple wanting to share a meal Hurricanes have a number of combo deals. There's desserts to top off your dining experience. The menu is certainly extremely approachable so we imagine it would satisfy any dining party. read more

Tourist trap? You betcha! Located in Darling Harbor, 2nd level of the mall. The food itself isn't bad. Expensive side because of the high tourist traffic. Hurricane has a nice bbq/steak menu. We actually didn't have to wait too long for a table considering it was the Aussie summer, it was a weekend and there were tons of people. Yes and thumbs up on their bbq (pork ribs). The steak was decent but something you'd find at an Outback steak house in the US. Full bar and beers available. Our lunch experience was top off with our cute young American waitress. Yes, she was from Virginia. Had a slight Aussie accent and left the US to pursue school in Sydney. Good luck! You were an awesome waitress and thanks for the selfie with my son! LOL! read more

We stopped by during our tour of Sydney and we were very lucky to find the place only half full. I've heard this place gets quite packed most times, most days. We were immediately seated outside with a beautiful view of Darling Harbour on a clear sunny day! That view alone already voted a positive two thirds for the place... Our orders were taken quickly and arrived not too long after. And to compliment the view...the food was indeed a mouthwatering sight...with a taste to match the presentation! The place may be a bit expensive...but it was worth it for the service, the food and the ambiance! You have to experience a Hurricane in Sydney... read more

This place gives HUGE portions of food so you will definitely get your money worth. However, the food is just ok. We had a variety of food for the table so I will start with the ribs. The beef ribs had great flavor but the meat I wish was more tender. The chicken was great! We got the Portuguese spicy flavor and it was amazing! The garlic mushrooms were not good at all. I love mushrooms so I was so disappointed when I ate them. I got the steak and I ordered it medium and it was still tough. So if you like tender meat I would say rare. The potatoes that came with my steak were the best part of the entire meal. Very well made and if you add the spicy sauce it is SUPER good. read more

(Apologies to vegetarians/non-pork eaters in advance!) If you ever go to Sydney, you must at least have the Hurricanes full-rack pork ribs pairing it with some Sweet Potato fries (special order, you gotta ask for it)! Basically a must eat! Certainly should take the challenge to get the full rack, but for ladies, I recommend share a full rack. Sweet potato fries are awesome too! Ask them for some extra source and you are so sorted! I would have easily given them 5 stars, unfortunately it is a grill place so sometimes they can over cook the pork. Like all meat, once it's over cooked, it's wasted! read more

The food here is probably good, I'm not sure yet. I've been here 40 min, seated properly by a waiter. it took 30 minutes to order even though I ask to order right away when I took my seat. after 40 minutes I got my water that I was told I would get as soon as I sat down and once again when I ordered. I wouldn't normally write and review for long waits but there are at least 3 tables that arrived after me with drinks and appetizers. I am not from here and was told to come here but so far, not worth the wait. read more

We have a tradition of ribs the day after Boxing Day! Got here just before 12pm and there already a line out the door! Got the half rack of pork ribs $39.50 with chips and a side of mushroom sauce. Service was ok but the place was pretty packed for a public holiday. Ribs were huge for a half serve! Nicely glazed in that original hurricanes sauce! Indeed top stars for the ribs (only thing is I think they are on the expensive side!) Also do the charge a public holiday surcharge. read more

Hurricane's Grill & Bar - Steakhouses Near Me - Sydney, NSW

This restaurant was insanely bustling on a Wednesday night, even after 8pm. Despite this, we put our names on the wait list and the hostess said it would be about 10 minutes for our party of 2. We waited right by the front/bar area and started to notice that couples coming in after us were being seated. They didn't appear to have reservations and walked in just like us. We had to check-in with the hostess and I think she realized we should have already been seated because she grabbed the next waitress and directly asked her to seat us then. We ordered the Salt & Pepper Calamari as well as the ribs, a combo of the beef, pork and lamb. Prices are high but expected considering you are in Darling Harbor amongst all the other restaurants frequented by tourists. Nonetheless, the ribs were very delicious. The bbq sauce had a perfect balance of smoky and sweet and my favorite were the lamb ribs! read more

Having relocated to Sydney from North America, I had longed for good ribs. I was always recommended Hurricanes to fill that void. We went there during the Christmas season and might I add, be prepared to wait. There was a massive queue that crowded the entire restaurant front and the mall hall way. During the wait, you can order drinks from the bar, however they are rather pricey for the typical stuff. Nonetheless we were seated roughly 30 minutes later. I knew exactly what I wanted and ordered the full rack of pork ribs with sweet potato fries, although it was quite pricey. When the meal arrived, I was initially very pleased as the full rack looked quite large, although it ended up being mainly bones.. The sauce on the ribs was a delicious sweet bbq. I still couldn't finish the full rack in one sitting but as part of my initial plan, it became my left overs for tomorrows dinner. These are still the best ribs that I've had in Sydney, although will continue searching for a better value meal. read more

Hurricane's Grill & Bar - Full rack of pork ribs - Steakhouses Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Hurricane's is pretty much known for one thing, and one thing only...ribs. If you come here and don't get the ribs (PORK,) you should shame yourself with a sign on the side of the road saying "I failed at Hurricane's." Not getting ribs here is akin to a bunch of vegetarians going to a BBQ restaurant and asking for vegetarian options. Epic fail. Why wait 20-60 minutes (yes the queue is massive) for a restaurant if you won't get their speciality? Especially if the rest of their food is mediocre... Did I mention that you should get the ribs? If you don't and order anything else you will probably have a bad time, as the rest of their food isn't worth the long wait...including the steak. GET THE RIBS read more

Hurricane's Grill & Bar - Full rack pork ribs - Steakhouses Near Me - Sydney, NSW

Came when they opened at lunch. I have seen the queues here before and know if you come at peak you'd better be prepared for a long wait. Had the calamari and lamb rack. The ribs were absolutely perfect. Most venues serve overly fatty lamb ribs and its where's Wally trying to find the meat. These were perfect. Soft, juicy, tender and no overly burnt char grill. Honestly having eaten my fair share of ribs - Hurricanes is the goldilocks of ribs. Expect to order one full rack between two. read more

Hurricane's Grill & Bar - Calamari - got into the ribs too quickly for a photo ha! - Steakhouses Near Me - Sydney, NSW

I was excited to see a Hurricane's Grill & Bar because I miss their chicken pasta I absolutely LOVE when I visit their Huntington Beach location so hubby and I decided to try it out. I was disappointed that they did not serve the pasta at this location and more so when I ordered the crispy calamari that wasn't crispy at all and The tartar sauce that came with it wasn't very much. If our host checked in I would've asked for more sauce but we sat there until I was too tired to stay any longer so we just paid and left. Location was all about this place and views from the second story overlooking city areas were awesome but not for quality of food. I miss Huntington Beach even more... read more

I look quite fetching in a bib. Or at least that's what I told myself as I covered up before hoeing into a ridiculously succulent rack of ribs. Yeah, you've got to have the ribs if you come to Hurricanes. Better yet, come with a group and share a few meaty dishes. Don't under ANY circumstances bring a vegetarian along. This place is strictly for carnivores. At around $40 for mains, this also isn't the place to come without your wallet, or your appetite! As others have said, you'll have to fight the crowds too...and that's before you face the (fashionable?) indignity of a bib. read more

First time visit to this one This was the first time at this one for me. I had been to another one before. The food is pretty good, but this time I got the chicken caesar salad, and it was ok. The salad is better without the chicken!! It gave it a weird taste. The chicken seemed like it had a seasoning on it, so DON'T GET IT WITH THE CHICKEN!! But the servers were nice, and the food was fast to come out! Would go again for sure! read more

Always enjoy a feed here even after waiting 40 minuets to be seated. Steaks where nice and everyone at our table of 6 enjoyed their meal. When in Town and feeling like a nice steak this is a go to for me read more

Was looking forward to this dinner having enjoyed the food at their Surfers Paradise restaurant in the past. Unfortunately their Harbourside restaurant was no comparison in the quality of their food. As we later discovered they are not owned by the same people and it showed. We enjoyed the Burrata entree but that's were it ended. The lamb cutlets for main were overcooked in a sickly sweet sauce that could have done with some caramelising. The salad was not fresh and the bread was stale. The manager apologized but wasn't really interested and made no offer to correct or compensate for the poor meals. The restaurant was very busy and was to be expected on a Saturday night and in a high tourist zone. Doesn't excuse the poor showing from the kitchen and the impression was that the focus is on high turnover rather than providing a quality meal. There are so many other better restaurants around, don't make the same mistake we did. read more

Its overrated. Worst pork ribs i have ever had. It's even worst than my homemade recipe! Terrible. The service was slow and we were seated right next to toilets. Very unpleasant atmosphere, especially there were people coming in and out every one two minutes just to wash their hands. Not to mention, their toilets were smelly and gross!!! Food: ribs were so burned and overcooked. We may just had a bad batch, but for pricy meal it needs consistency. read more

I booked Hurricanes at Darling Harbour for my 27th Birthday Party in June. I had 25 guests and we ordered from the set menu which was $65 per person. The menu was pretty good. For $65 per person we were able to get salad and bread for the table, and then choose a main. For the main you could choose from steak, salmon, a vegetarian platter, and the famous ribs - either half or full. Even if you ordered a full rack of ribs, it was still the same price - AWESOME value! The food came out quickly, and there was great service. It was a bit hectic with 25 people and 25 different orders but it all worked out well. The restaurant is loud and noisy, and on Saturday night there is always fireworks at 9pm at Darling Harbour which was nice. I like Hurricane's! The food was awesome and I had a great time there. read more

I normally avoid Darling Harbour at all costs, but I will come here for ribs without complaining. The "special" beef short ribs are particularly tasty. Cocktails were watery (a great sin in my book!) Service is cheery and appears to be oriented towards American tourists ... read more

Great meals!! They were a good size and tasted awesome!! Staff were amazing and kind! Definitely will be coming back here!

When was the last time you step foot into a Hurricanes joint? And how did it compare to the very first time you got a bib put around your neck from their staff? Really wonder what the hype is with their ribs and with Hurricanes in general? My first Hurricanes experience had me savouring for more ribs and more bbq sauce, craving to see those ultimate racks once again. And the more you go there the more you realise they're really average and even at times ,less than average. We went there tonight for a gathering and got the Mussels and Ribs + Portuguese Chicken combo. Utterly disappointed. Not only was the food cold, the meat was mega dry and the chicken breast was just beyond chewable. What happened to the once famous Hurricanes ribs? Do all restaurants lose quality when they open too many franchise stores? Yet there are still heaps of eager punters waiting for a table only going to be disappointed. Please do let me know when their quality is back to the original? read more

This is one of the goto-places to try any ribs or meat in Sydney. But make sure you book before hand as there can be a long wait, and Sundays should be avoided because of the surcharge. If you don't want to book, try lunchtimes on most days as you can easily get in. read more

Hurricane of flavors ! Three of us went to Harborside mall for dinner on a Sunday evening. Luckily, there was no queue and we got a table within ten minutes. Our server Chaya was really sweet. We chatted a bitgirl and promptly took our order. For starters we had Fried calamari and garlic bread. Calamari was accompanied with scented rice and a sour dip. Garlic bread was crispy from outside and soft inside. It was served on an interesting wooden tray. My partner and I ordered Steak and Half rack (Pork) with Chips. It was drool-worthy ! Succulent ribs loaded with delicious sauces made a mean dinner :). We opted for Pepper gravy which I dont think was a wise choice. Should have gone with something somber. My friend had a steak with jacket potato and a sour gravy ( I don't remember the name). We gulped down the food with bear and diet coke. We ended the meal with a Tiramisu- a perfect end to a gastronomical journey. The entire meal costed us around 150 AUD. I would rate this place as must try ! read more

Like many of the restaurants in Darling Harbour, Hurricane's is definitely something for the tourist. Located in Harbourside Shopping Centre, Hurricane's is known for 1 thing and 1 thing only....RIBS! They do ribs right and come in beef, lamb and pork which all taste pretty good. I've also heard that the burger was pretty good. Though like most places in Darling Harbour, this place isn't too cheap. The portions are quite large, but still on the pricey side for what you actually get. I would have given this place a 4 star if it weren't for the massive queue that occurs almost every night. If you're thinking about going here for dinner on the weekend...good luck. The ribs are good but not good enough to wait forever. If you haven't had the ribs here yet then I would definitely recommend it, but it would probably be best to go for lunch or early for dinner. read more

Very hard to review this place; being a tourist spot you typically do not start off with high expectations; however I was pleasantly surprised by what at first glance appeared would be a typical ribs place. To start with the service was above average and efficient, service came quickly and accurately yet you could still discuss options without being huffed at always a goof sign. Next the food came cooked perfectly, I eat rare and indeed that is what I got, the colleague next to me got his well done satisfactory too! All served together for a table of ten - terrific job. And considering the views if darling harbour the prices seemed okay, at least to someone used to Perth pricing. The only reason for not giving it five out if five, would be the cramped feeling around the tables and the limited drinks menu a really surprising visit. read more

We decided to come here last night during the epic torrential down pour because we seem to love seeing if we can, contrary to popular belief, walk in the rain and enjoy it. Maybe trying a lighter rain shower next time might work better. I spent 6 hours of the day in wet clothes with water filled shoes. This was my way of enjoying a nice dinner while I kicked off my soggy squealchy shoes and dug into something tasty that I didn't have to cook & hope that I dried out a bit while I ate. We walked in without a reservation last night about 7.30/8pm - they took us straight in and sat us on the outside thing that was enclosed yet still loud at certain points from the hail hitting the tin roof so you couldn't keep having a conversation with your dinner partners. We ordered a bottle of wine for the lasses, the boys had some beers and we settled in for quite a bit of meat. There were ribs, ribs and steaks, combinations, salads and bibs. Mostly I think they bring out the bibs because it makes me giggle watching grown men have bibs tied around their necks by wait staff. I know, I have a funny tickle bone... Just be aware that this place is pricey. I ordered their regular steak sirloin. I got a flat bit of meat that was a bit tasteless to be honest and for nearly $30 I was expecting more meat and a bit more flavour. The guys loved their ribs though and were happily munching through their racks which was a good thing. Service was spot on if not a bit constant. We had 3 or 4 different wait staff interrupt our dinner to ask us if the food was ok, the first being our waitress, who I thought should be the only one asking. But apparently not, the rest of the guys wanted a go to. I just found it annoying to be constantly interrupted in the middle of conversation to get asked again if we were enjoying the food. I figure saying "yes, it's good" once is more than enough! I was interested to hear the rest of the story that my companion was telling. Either way, this place gets packed. It seems that it's always busy, but I'm not sure why when their steak leaves a lot to be desired. read more

The main reason why I visited here again and again was because of the pork ribs. My gosh they are the best ribs I have ever tasted. So much meat on them and cooked to perfection! I usually get the steak and rib combo, and the steak is lovely also, but not as good as the ribs! Service at Hurricanes is always average, neither spectacular nor terrible. Living in the UK, you just can't find ribs like these. My first stop is this restaurant next time i'm in Sydney! read more

Came for the ribs, was very disappointed. The meat tasted like it was done with very little spice, or herb, or care prior to being cooked with the sauce. If I got beyond the bbq sauce, it simply tasted porky. Ick. You know that horrendous smell of JUST pork meat cooking you get sometimes? It was a taste version of that smell. I tried to eat it twice throughout the meal and was too repulsed to have much more. Thankfully the sweet potato fries were crispy and tasty, though they could have been complimented by some heavenly chipotle jalapeno sauce or something similar. The garlic rolls were fairly dry but tasted proper - a bit of blocked arteries (butter) with a hefty dose of garlic. Hard to go terribly wrong with garlic rolls. I wouldn't recommend them, though. I had a few bits of steak as well and from what I had it was tasty and tender. The flavor of it was nice and complimented by the bitey, creamy peppercorn sauce. I saw another table get calamari. For the portion size.. my god. How could anyone pay 15+ for that much calamari?! I thought if people knew the amount they were getting they'd never be able to sell that dish. Craziness. I love calamari so any ridiculousness in terms of value always irks me. Poor swindled calamari orderers. :( Recap: Ribs - good sauce, poorly flavored meat. Wouldn't recommend and wouldn't get it again. Chicken wings - mundanely average Sweet potato fries - saved the meal! I'd get an order of these if I was ever forced to go back Steak - meh. I wouldn't go back for the cost of everything. Calamari - huge ripoff for value. Wouldn't do it. 2.5 stars rounded down to a 2. Came for ribs left with a distaste for ribs, missing the sweet po fries of home. read more

A local friend brought me here as this is supposed to be one of the "must try" barbecue places in Sydney. I have to say, I was not disappointed. We both ordered a slab of bbq ribs and bbq chicken. The bbq basting sauce is a perfect blend of sweet with a hint of spicy. Not overwhelming, just right. The chicken was a hearty serving as well with two large breasts if I recall correctly. Beverage-wise we had two of their cocktails. I had the ginger spicito, anything ginger I love. This came with Captain Morgan as the liquor with a ginger liqueur, fresh ginger slices, mint leaves, lime wedges and sugar syrup. A very refreshing drink, kind of reminded me of a mojito, but not as minty. My friend had an "ohayo" which I liked more than the ginger spicito. This came with watermelon liqueur, fresh lychee, lime slices, a candied delicious hibiscus flower over crushed ice. Highly recommend this one. The food and drinks were great. And lest not forget, a good view of Darling Harbour as well. read more

The only good reason to come here are the ribs. But be prepared to wait forever. I waited on hold for 20 minutes just to try to get a reservation. At 11 AM. It took us a good 2-2 1/2 hours to get a table, so we'd worked up quite the appetite. The wine selection was decent enough, and we enjoyed the waiter's recommendations. The service was excellent, considering how packed the place was, which came as a very pleasant surprise. Note: As appealing as the lamb ribs sound, just get the pork ribs. They're far superior. A half rack is enough to feed a reasonably hungry individual, so if you've got a lot of people, order half as many racks as you have people, with some bonus sides, and you'll be just right. read more

It was a "hurricane" in that there was a ton of people of people waiting to eat at this restaurant which was next to Darling Harbour. The BBQ Ribs that they were famous for was not that good in that it was a little bland and char...I had better in California and at a cheaper price. I was expecting something of a higher quality, but nothing surprising. The server was nice and attentive at times, but I find it weird that she asked us if we want bread and butter when it complimentary of the restaurant...thought they would just bring it. Nice to try out and come since I know people rave about this place and perfect to see the firework after dinner, which was beautiful! read more

We made a reservation as we went there for a work lunch. However we still had to wait when we got there. We were given a table at the balcony and being a colder day than usual, it was freezing.

Food's a little on the pricey side but the portion sizes are quite large too. read more

I'm in Sydney on a business trip and was excited to try great food. If you are a foodie, do not go here. An Australian friend recommended it saying they were the best ribs ever which made me hungry and curious. I should have followed my instinct when I realize it was located in a "mall" which means they're probably a chain..... not my thing, but sometimes I can be wrong. I ordered the ribs and they were disgusting. The first bite was gross but thought I was just over thinking it but the 2nd bite confirmed it, disgusting. I told my waitress politely that I didn't like it and after she talked with her manager they wouldn't knock anything off my bill or offer me anything else. I don't do yelp reviews and grew up in the food business - they also sat me outside when there were plenty of open tables inside and I was by myself. I will never go back, and do not recommend this place. read more

Yes, this place is well known for their ribs, and hence their wait time is infamously long. My boyfriend and I waited maybe 40 minutes to get a table here, so we put our names down and walked around the neighborhood in the meantime. Food & Drinks: 5 stars. Delicious, mouthwatering ribs with good, moderately-strong drinks. The wait for the ribs was short relative to other places, probably because they're so popular for that they're likely always making them before orders are officially placed. Service: Average of 4 stars. Hostess was not the friendliest. I get it. You have to deal with people all day asking you how much longer, telling you they've been waiting 50 minutes when you quoted them 45, yada yada. But c'mon, not all of us diners are bad. At least refresh your attitude with every customer. Servers were friendly and came by once in a while to check if we needed more napkins, refills on drinks. read more
