We ate here on a Monday evening, which happened to be $1.50 Taco night. Obviously the place was…read morevery busy. The waitress was sick, couldn't hear (even speaking very loudly), and was very short tempered/fused. So service could definitely use some improvement! I ordered 2 beef hard shell tacos and 2 beef soft tacos. Order came back with 4 hard shell tacos, so sent them back to get the correct order. The order came back for the second time and I ate the 2 hard shell tacos. I started to eat the soft taco and it was chicken, so had to send it back again!!! Finally got the order back a third time and it was correct. Frustrating! The other 2 people in my party both had cold mashed potatoes with their meals. So those had to be sent back too. The place has pinball machines and pool tables along with a bar. It also has a wide variety of seating scattered throughout the facility. Televisions were on so you can watch sports. Of course it was rather loud when we were there. Just needs improvement on wait staff and cooking/kitchen staff.

I never should have listened to those who are not fans. My husband got 4 twisteds--2 chicken and one of each of the other flavors. They were all so good. And the fresh fried chips were delicious too. I got the fried swai. My husband is not a fan of fish but he kept stealing bites off my plate, it was that good. The batter was light and crisp. And the portion was huge. I LOVED the honey mustard coleslaw. I'm a slaw snob, and I have high standards. I look forward to eating the slaw again. The garlic Parmesan broccoli was good too. We will be back.

It was a good recommendation of some flavorful smoked wings. The place itself presented a cool atmosphere with an inside corner bar or sports bar vibe and a big patio with options to turn into a backyard bbq, sports party or chill hangout.

I ordered an iced tea and it came in a mini pitcher as my glass. We shared an appetizer platter and I went with the blue moon burger with fries from my lunch. The appetizers were pretty standard and the fries were the showcase of my lunch crinkle cut and cooked to perfection. The burger was not too bad, but a little small and the flavor for having blue cheese definitely wasn't that big. All in all fun little place and have a big variety on their menu. Bumping them up to four stars just for the big ole iced tea pitcher.

We got seated right away and our server was super nice and patient with us as we maneuvered through the menu, figuring out what to order. There's too many amazing sounding items on the menu! I wanted to order one thing from each section just so I can have a little taste. I ended up ordering the chicken fried steak with a biscuit because you gotta have the biscuit! My mom ordered the chicken and waffles. The chicken fried steak was enormous! I only ate a little more than a 1/4 of it and took the rest home. The gravy was really delicious. It wasn't salty and there was so much flavor. Of course I dipped my biscuit in it too. Biscuit was also humongous. I finished half of it. I didn't get to try my mom's chicken and waffles but she said she really liked it. She also didn't finish it so we took it back to the hotel. Thankfully we had a fridge and a microwave to store and heat it all up. If I'm ever in the area again, I'd definitely come back and try some other stuff. I'm sure everything else is delectable also!
