    Service was great! Smash burgers were on the dry side. Wish they used meat with more fat content. If you are in to dry smash burgers you will love them. Just not my preference. Get the ranch wedges!

    This restaurant truly impressed me with its exceptional services. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s rare to find businesses that genuinely care about their customers and go the extra mile to make them feel special. This restaurant exceeded my expectations, especially when I visited to celebrate a birthday. The food was delectable, cooked to perfection, and made with high-quality ingredients. The service was equally impressive, with attentive staff who made sure our every need was met. The restaurant’s beautiful location adds to its charm, providing a unique and inviting atmosphere. Reservations are highly recommended to ensure a table during peak hours.

    It was a hopping night at the Tampa location for a Thursday evening! We loved the complementary valet parking. Food was delicious, as always(and consistent among other locations). Our server, Kimmie, was friendly and on top of her game! Great service!

    This is one of my favorite Tampa restaurants! I've never had a negligible dish. The service and atmosphere is great. Usually I have a hard time hearing, but it was a full restaurant tonight, andI was able to hear the table conversation. Can't speak more highly of this place.
