Came here for dinner on a Sunday night about 7:30 pm. The entire restaurant was empty besides 1 other table. The waiter took our drink and food order with an attitude that he didn't give a F. Then proceeded to bring out the appetizer before the drinks we ordered. He then came back and asked "I'm sorry what did you order to drink"? A Mt Dew and a Tea. The guy carelessly walks away. We get our food and my girlfriend's burger had mayo on it. She specifically asked for no mayo. The dude looks her right in the eye and repeats bac... read more

I don't usually like to give bad reviews and I used to really like this place, but it's been steadily going downhill for a while. Tonight was the final straw. The bar section only had one waitress who was either brand new or very poorly trained because she continually brought the wrong drinks to the wrong people in our party and had to re-do our checks 5 times before she finally got them correct. The place needs to train their staff better. 

Business response:

Very poor service. Disappointed in how long everything took to get to our table. Only thing that was enjoyable was the food.

I sat down at the bar that was over half empty. The bar tender looked over at me and went back to talking to the people at the other end. About 5 min later he asked if I wanted to order food, I said no I would have a drink. I drank my drink and set it so he could see it was empty. I finally asked for my tab and he said ok. A few minutes went by and he walked by, I held up my card and he said oh you wanted your tab. Yet still no tab. Finally I guessed what my tab was, put the cash on bar and started to walk out. He said sorry... read more
