Not our first visit. Only one negative comment. Our reservation could not be accommodated until about 25 minutes past our reservation time of 6:00, albeit a Friday night.

The wait staff was nice and efficient. The drinks were good. The smoked meats- corned beef and ribs were tasty. I guess our only complaint was the sides- the coleslaw and cabbage sides were lacking in flavor. Also my meal could have been hotter.
