    My wife and I had been wanting to go for a while so we finally made the effort. They have outdoor and indoor seating which is nice, we chose indoor due to the weather. We were seated immediately and Mandy, our waitress was at our table very quickly with recommendations. I had the Bison burger with Confusion potatoes. The burger was very good! I would highly recommend. The potatoes were overcooked and bland, don’t recommend! My wife had the stuffed sweet potato, very disappointing. The potato was very small and covered with shredded lettuce?, not very impressive. Don’t recommend! We also had chicken egg rolls, best part of the meal, very tasty. We finished up with a slice of pecan pie with with chocolate crust, caramel sauce and ice cream. The ice cream was good but the crust was burnt and quite hard!, very disappointing. We will probably go back as everyone has a bad night but we will certainly consider other places first.
