Great food and fun atmosphere!

Service was great, quick and had a nice environment overall! I definitely recommend. I came on a Sunday night it wasn’t super busy and I had a great time

We really liked our stop here. It's not fancy, but solid, flavorful food.I loved the wings and southwest egg rolls. My fish with mango habanero salsa was great and my partner loved his jambalaya. My mom got tacos and said they were very good as well! Happy group!

I wanted to love this place, I'll probably come back. The restaurant was clean, the staff was very kind. I did enjoy the atmosphere. The only thing I didnt come to like was my burger. It looked fantastic. The pickle an mac & cheese tasted great. But the burger it was dry an just had no kind of seasoning. An it wasn't over cooked I can say that much. So I don't know what happened. Id still recommend to others to give this place a try.

The bouncers were so incredibly rude. Never again… do not go!!

Great fish tacos. Nacho cheese tasted like out of a can though. My boyfriend got the French dip and said it was a small portion but juicy.

Can’t review anything other than a particular manager’s performance. My wife’s handbag was stolen from her seat while she was in the ladies room. That’s not the bar’s fault. What is the bars fault is the lazy, smart-mouthed manager who answered the phone the next morning when we called for some information relating trash pick-up (the criminal threw the phone - when we were able to track - in bar’s trash). The manger stated “I don’t have time for this right now” and “I didn’t lose your phone, you did”. He (never got his name) was a complete a-hole. I will say the staff on the night of the incident, Wednesday March 16, was professional and helpful. In summary: at least one of the manger’s there needs a lesson in respect and customer service. If you go, watch your belongings. Clearly a safe-haven for thieves.

I had the firecracker shrimp tacos, and would 10/10 recommend them. The sauce alone is amazing, with a little bit of spice, but nothing that a normal person can’t easily handle. We also got Mac and Cheese Balls, and they were decent, this sauce was not as good, but the balls themselves tasted good. And then we got kids chicken strips, and they were a little overcooked, and the reason for the 4 stars.

This place was so much fun! So much fun that I unfortunately lost my wallet the day before flying home and thought it was gone forever. Rick Campbell contacted me like 5 days later after leaving Florida that he had found it! And so kindly shipped it back to me. Highly recommend this place :)

Open late! Free live music. Large venue. Corned beef & cheese balls weren’t bad!
