    The best fried chicken sandwich in town!
    Michelle V.

    We come here for the fried chicken sandwiches. Truly the best I've had in the Prosper/Celina area. Service is always friendly too! If you happen to come on a night w live music in the back, even better. It gets pretty loud near the stage, so keep that in mind when being seated.

    Impecable service. You are greeted bt everyone, everyone asks how you are doing, and on your way out every single person you walk by tells you to have a good night or thank you for coming. Aside from that, food is great, all cooked to order and has veryyyyyy generous portions. I mean the chicken fried steak is as big as your face! I had the fish and chips with a cold dark beer and it really hit the spot. Other folks in my party had the wagyu burger and chicken fried steak and had to take food home! Also, look out for live music in the garage on the weekends, which is fun. Patio is 18+ after 8pm though but there's ample seating inside if you have kiddos. It does get a little bit noisy in the garage during live music but it ia a cool laid back casual hang and environment. There's also couches and lounge areas in case you don't wanna sit at a table. We love it here!

    We had a few minutes to spare while the kids were in class, so we stopped by for a quick bite and a drink. We ordered a beer, a margarita, and the hot elotes. Service was quick, and the elotes were delicious! One thing that surprised us was the 3% surcharge for using a credit card to pay the bill. I wish this had been mentioned upfront, as those fees can really add up on larger checks.

    The live band is great and the ambience is fantastic. This is the perfect late night bar spot for good vibes, good drinks, good food and even better service.

    Nice place, friendly staff. I had the mushroom Swiss burger with fried okra, they were very good. Fried okra was crispy but not burned.

The hamburgers? Frozen meat patties that tasted like they'd been excavated from the back of a 2019 freezer. My fish and chips came with fish that smelled like it had been on a week-long bender in a dumpster behind the pier. And the lobster ravioli? Let's just say the only thing "lobster" about it was the price tag. The pasta was sad, the filling was suspicious, and the whole thing felt like a culinary war crime. But hey, at least the ambience is great! Beautiful lighting, nice decor, perfect for pretending you're having a fancy night out... while quietly plotting your escape to literally any other restaurant. Oh, and don't worry about the shortcuts -- when they're done disappointing your taste buds, they'll hit you with a credit card fee for the privilege. Nothing says "we care about your experience" like charging you extra to leave poorer and hungrier than when you arrived. Save your money, your dignity, and your stomach. Go somewhere else to eat. Anywhere else. Even a gas station hot dog would've been an upgrade.

You have to seat yourself - there were enough vacant tables to pick from. Within a few minutes, our server was over and helped us narrow down on what we wanted to order. I went for a Crushed Velvet Mule in addition to Cali, Buffalo (both grilled versions) and Burg B Q. We told our server that between me and my wife, we will be sharing the chicken sandwich and hence requested that it be sliced into 2. Not only were the burgers sliced, it was served in separate plates with sides as well - that was a really nice touch. Cali was a bit bland, Buffalo and Burg B Q were both really nice. The drink was nice as well. There was live music but we were seated near a table that was pretty boisterous, could hardly hear anything. The outdoor seating overlooking greenery and events they do at the restaurant make the place quite different - we will definitely be back soon to try other options on the menu.
