Did i mention- they have outdoor volleyball courts there! Really fun for the whole family. OMG- the best fried pickles Ive ever had. They are not the typical corn meal breading- but a tempura style. Its not for everyone- but I love them. Delightful! The negatives- they don't always have things on the menu- and it might even be WING NIGHT and they may be out of wings- all day. That isn't unusual. Service can be a hit or a miss but usually good. They offer a full bar with adequate options and a better than average beer selection. It does sometimes get busy there- and when that happens - the parking lot is a train-wreck. People park willy-nilly and Ive been jAmmed up there a while until someone moved their car. This is definitely my place when i want wings and fried pickles (provided they have them). And the not often order peanut butter burger- is really good.

But service took so long even I started to get mad. This used to be my favorite restaurant where I could just have laughs with my family. But now, this is lucky to be in my top 10. Two stars.

We weren't greeted warmly, which normally wouldn't matter if the service and food made up for it. It didn't. After waiting quite a while just to get started, I even asked my sister if she wanted to leave. She said, "Not yet." After waiting even longer, I asked again, and she replied, "We're in too deep now." When our food finally arrived, my sister's meal had to be sent back. As the waitress walked away with it, I accidentally spilled what was left of my lemonade. The spill wasn't acknowledged by our waitress, and she never asked if I'd like another drink. Thankfully, another employee eventually helped clean up the mess and brought me a fresh lemonade. My sister's corrected meal sat ready for more than 10 minutes after we heard the kitchen bell before anyone brought it to our table. Because of the poor service, I left no tip and wrote "0.00" on the receipt. The waitress had also taken my credit card to the back to process the payment instead of running it where I could see it. Later, I realized my credit card was missing. I immediately called the restaurant and was told it wasn't there. I locked the card, and the following day multiple attempted charges were made on it. While I can't say for certain what happened, the timing was extremely concerning and left me with serious doubts about how my card was handled. I rarely leave negative reviews, but between the poor service, long waits, lack of attention, and what happened with my credit card afterward, I cannot recommend this restaurant or it's choice if Friday night live *entertainment*

Could not tell, she was an older lady with blond longer hair. She greeted us with a not so pleasant look. I had personally gotten confused about the meal types and did not understand the board, as well as we thought there was mac and cheese, due to it being posted on the board. She had pointed to the screens and seemed to be disrespectful about my mess up and rudely explained to my girlfriend in a loud and annoyed tone that they had not been selling mac and cheese any longer.. Not good customer service in my opinion. We sat at our table and the seats were sticky. We tested a couple different booths and all of the leather-like seats were the same to varying degrees. After finding the cleanest one we could, we waited for about 7-8 minutes although our food was fresh, so no complaints there. The second interaction was shorter yet much more pleasant with a different employee. He was great and even told us to enjoy. The worker at the counter really downgraded the experience. You would expect to walk into a friendly environment. The 30 minute drive just for your guys' food was not worth the disrespectful experience.
