Some reviews mention inconsistent service during peak hours. A few patrons have noted that certain waitstaff might provide subpar experiences, highlighting occasional attitudes that detract from the overall charm.
Additionally, while the overall ambiance is praised, the noise level during busy evenings can be overwhelming for diners looking for a quiet meal. Reservations are recommended for peak times, as waits can be long.

This is a great place, owner was friendly food was great but the waitress had an attitude. She didn't want to be there attitude. I will always go back and be served by the owner or a friendly waitress that appreciates her job

We were sat within minutes, their bussing crew does a great job of keeping the place clean. They have TV’s at every corner, and the food was fantastic. The bartender Russ, was quick and efficient. They also told us that they would allow us in with no cover to watch the pay per view UFC Fights.

We ended up here on a whim after other plans fell through. I hadn’t been in over ten years, and was expecting a general bar atmosphere with maybe a few food items. We were pleasantly surprised to find they offered a full dinner menu! Pricilla was our waitress and she was so awesome. She found us somewhere to sit on a busy Saturday night. She was funny and down to earth, and just attentive enough without being overbearing at all. We had a great night and will probably head back here next time we are in town! Thanks Pricilla!
