Food was ok - fair at best. Caesar salad dressing was blah - lacked seasoning. The wings were overcooked and dry. Extremely noisy such that a conversation was hard to accomplish. The chairs were uncomfortable and not suitable to eat at the table.

It took me over 45 mins to get the beer I ordered. It was busy yes, but people at my table got their second beers while I was waiting for my FIRST! I ordered a draft Modelo. I was disappointed in the Service. Normally it is great!

The food was amazing super cute spot. But our waitress was not the greatest. Saw other waitresses definitely making their rounds regularly. We were lucky if we saw our waitress we had to waive her down. Never got refills on water and we were there for about 4 hours .. thank goodness my mom brought a water bottle.

Went for super Bowl, had reservations and they ended up waving the cover charge if everyone showed up and honored their reservation. Service was excellent, we were there for 5 hours and never went more than 5 minutes without our server attending to us. DJ was great and the viewing experience for any big sporting event is awesome!!! Great experience, always topnotch food, service and energy!

Todd, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! We're thrilled you had a great time watching the Super Bowl with us and we hope you'll join us again soon!

Awesome place to spend a day watching the games. Service was incredible. Avianna was a great server and we never waited for a drink. Brent, the GM came by and made sure we had everything we needed. Food was good. We will be coming back and watching the Sunday games as well.
