Autumn was absolutely amazing. She was busy and it was New Years Day, but that didn't stop her. She was kind, patient and extremely pleasant.

We came in as a party of 14, half of which were kids! We were also 10 minutes late because our show started late and they were very accomodating. Catfish was the best I'd had in a long time. Croffle and burgers were big hits with the kids. Our server was the nicest and was never flustered. He remembered everything we asked for. the food was so good we were passing plates around the table. I don't live locally but will definitely be back when in town.
