We had a big group and they went out of their way to treat us well! The food was great and the waitress guided us perfectly through our selections. Also the live band was great.

I just love this place. I used to work here and the food still is awesome and the atmosphere is so relaxing and it is such a nice family setting. I went with my family just to have some dinner and two hours surprise there was a live band playing my baby girl had her first concert she's 3 and she had a blast. Food was delicious drinks are always great.

The food was really good, it was my first time eating there. A friend of mine told me it was a good spot so we ate there & it didn’t disappoint. I got the hangover burger with a caesar salad

I have only had great experiences here. My favorite server, Spring/Ava, makes our experiences memorable whenever she serves us. Spring is attentive and goes the extra mile to ensure her customer service is top tier! Her jokes are funny (a couple of them are corny ) and her personality shines even within the low-light environment (note: the low-light environment sets the mood!). One of my favorite restaurants to visit for great food, great service, and of course...amazing drinks! If I see you there, the first round is on me!

I always love coming here. It’s like the community watering hole. They always have games playing or some type of hopping event. Not only that, but the food never disappoints! It’s always fresh and delicious. Everything on their menu is wonderful. My go-to’s are their crab dip and wedge salad pictured below. Their fried catfish nuggets and corn bread muffins are also to die for! Make some time to stop by here if you’re in the area! Fridays and weekends are usually very crowded, and wait times will be extended as a side note. Please keep this in mind!
