4 of us ate there New Year's Eve. There were only 2 people working but the service was excellent as was the food and the experience. They had a gift "firecracker" and 2 questions on the table to spark conversation and discussion.

We made a reservation and drove a good while to get there only to have them tell us our reservation didn’t count. The staff was also a bit rude about it when I followed up with some questions as to why it was an issue. Which they followed by saying open table basically means nothing to them. That was quite frustrating since that is the app they use for bookings. Should strongly consider getting rid of it if they are not going to honor those reservations. Other than that the ambience was nice. It felt very homey and welcoming. Also didn’t feel too noisy if you wanted a more chill environment to eat at. The portion sizes also looked pretty big. If you’re going to eat here make sure to call ahead or else you might be turned away if you try to use Open Table to book a reservation.

Despite the multiple text and email messages sent to me confirming our reservation, and after we drove many miles to this restaurant at our appointed time, we found it closed for the day/night!! No notice given to us, no notice posted at the restaurant! Unbelievable!! Never again will we attempt to visit this restaurant. Incredibly inconsiderate and unprofessional management!! Don't risk wasting your time and money with this place, it isn't worth it!!

The way in which one orders at the counter was a little unexpected, but the service and food was outstanding. The root beer glazed ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender and delicious. The indoor seating area was small with a variety of table sizes, with options to dine on the patio area. The portions were also generous for the price.

The restaurant refused to acknowledge our OpenTable reservation and did not register our check-in. They told us that they had no capability to confirm with OpenTable. I needed to notify OpenTable after the fact that we were there. Our breakfasts were average at best. Actually our rating of 2 was probably overly generous. Needless to say we have no plans to return.

We didn't even use our reservation as we read it was simply a show-up and wait situation.
