I ate here for the first time on a Friday night with my husband and his family(8 people). We were greeted by a wonderful hostess and our server Brenden was super friendly, helpful, and attentive! Easily one of the best servers I’ve ever had! He was patient and friendly as he helped us with the menu. The food was amazing with good prices and huge portions!!!! This was our first time here and I will definitely be back!

Restaurant pretty empty at 6 pm...Should of been my first clue. As others say, service was slow and our waiter was not very attentive as he never checked on us during our meal and didn't offer water refills. The street corn was ok at best but too much cheese and not enough mayo. The California Cobb salad was a complete mess. The menu states this is what's on the salad:CALIFORNIA COBBDiced turkey, avocado, onions, cherry tomatoes, mixed greens, bacon, cheese and house ranch dressing.Guess what? The cheese was blue cheese.....REALLY??? There was so much on it, the salad was inedible. Blue cheese is such a strong cheese, this establishment should notate this is the kind of cheese it it. There were WAY too many onions. No turkey. Someone got this complete order incorrect! There was barley any lettuce and a side of dressing wasn't enough for an ant. The garlic bread on top was ice cold and tasted like wax with garlic. When the waiter asked how are meal was (should of been able to tell as nothing was really touched) I told him about the cheese and onions and all he said was ok. I wasn't looking to get anything free, just an acknowledgment from manager who seemed to be nowhere around. Would not recommend nor will I return or suggest this establishment to anyone I know.

This place has been on my list ever since we moved to the area. I finally had a chance to visit and was thrown off by the recent negative reviews. My friend and I both appreciated the community engagement on the review page and decided that any place that good with engaging with reviewers is worth visiting.We were not disappointed. The atmosphere is great, with nice music that isn't too loud. The food was good (fish and chips and fish tacos). Their beer menu is extensive. The meal felt appropriately costed. Will definitely be returning.

The food just isn’t good anymore. This used to be a very popular bar because the food was good and they had great deals every day. The outdoor area is great for when the weather warms up but they need a new chef desperately. Great location, bad food.

We had great time yesterday with our kids, amazing atmosphere, polite helpful staff. Food was great unlimited wings. Lots of beer selection.

Everytime we order or go to the restaurant my wife orders the same thing thinking it's gonna be better this time and everytime it's not! It's screwed up Everytime paying 16 dollars for a piece of chicken that's suppose to come with all these things on top of it (el Camino) and it's missing 3 of the toppings and the bacon doesn't taste right. we have even told the waitress about our horrible experiences and it still comes out screwed up I do not recommend coming here for dinner also fair warning they charge you $2.00 to just place an order online

Service was very slow. Waitress never around and don’t know about some selections. Buffalo Chicken wrap came out cold, no breading on it and almost all lettuce. French fries were cold. Told the manager. He didn’t seem to care. I told him I wanted something different. I got the bang bang shrimp wrap. It was like a salad with all lettuce and only two pieces of shrimp on it. If I wanted a salad, I would have ordered one. The fries were cold also. I told our server. She must have told the manager and he came by. I said take a look at this wrap. It is all lettuce. He didn’t anything and was getting ready to take it away. I said I have to eat. I’ve waited this long for the food. He walked away. A terrible manager. He could care less. He did comp me for the food, but he didn’t say he would. I saw it on the check when I got it. Non-apologetic. The place has gone down hill since there is a new manager. Would not come back!

The Brussel sprouts were really good, we ate them before anyone could take a picture ? The clubhouse sandwich was pretty good as well as the enchilada soup. We did not care for the hot sauce on the chicken & waffles, but the waffles & chicken were decent. The avocado toast was really good too. Zach was our server & he did a great job... polite, checked on us regularly, didn't have to ask for a water refill. I did have an issue with their new manager Alex... He was rude, walked passed multiple times, never checked on us once, not even a smile. He had a very negative demeanor and I watched him treat the staff poorly. He should retire. It made me not want to return to this establishment, fortunately the other staff was good.

Delicious pizza. Great service.

Not impressed at all. Long wait for a Thursday night with 12 open tables. Pizza just barely at the edible mark. Cream of chicken soup would be better served as an all purpose adhesive.
