In their own words

There was no wait for a table and we were seated right away. It was an hour and 20 minute wait for the food to come out. There was only us and one other table when we arrived and put our order in. Once the food came, it was all right, but nothing spectacular. They had a live band with a lot of locals lingering in the parking lot watching. They were asking my husband for cash for a beer. Not our favorite spot.

We waited 40 minutes for a quesadilla and pasta, to go. We were the only ones in the restaurant. When I asked how much longer it would be they said 15 minutes. I asked to cancel and then they the brought the food out. Very strange, nobody ever explained why it was taking so long or talked to us.

We arrived a little after 6pm on a Tuesday. There was no wait for a table. Sally was our server and she was wonderful. We were a group of 6 and we ordered an assortment of drinks and food. The food takes a little while but it was worth the wait. We had a great time.

Pleasant staff, food took a little while but I believe it was a busy night lots of orders were coming out the kitchen after I ordered. But they made sure to update me during the wait. Food also tasted great. I got the pot fish(fried) with fries
