Horrible customer service! You couldn't pay me to go in there.
I ordered the half barbecue chicken and it was baked chicken with BBQ sauce slathered on it. The baked beans had an obvious canned taste.

We've been their a couple times in last couple months and it's been very good both times. Your Wait Staff Very Pleasant and Funny Personalitys. My Wife had her Graduation Dinner with you guys. 35 years ago.
Service was amazing with the sweetest waitress katie. We got samples of the beer first and were very happy with having that option. Portions were huge, none of us finished our dinner. We shared a piece of delicious cherry pie. Very cool place !
Except for the long hair that was twisted in the piece of beer batter fish!!
