    We went on a live music night just before the band started. The food was delicious and smoky. Great flavor (I had the pulled pork and my date had the fried chicken). The band was Awesome!!! (It was named KC something or other). The service was a little slow and the band got kinda loud as we started to leave. But it was a great time!

    The Easter Brunch was better than we expected. The food was so good. Everything we tried was delicious and they kept bringing out new pans of food. We did not have to wait around and everyone seemed to be enjoying the food, music and overall vibe. Everyone was friendly and many tables were heard laughing and having a great time with family and friends. So happy we made this reservation.

    Great food at a reasonable price. Our server was very attentive and friendly. We were celebrating a birthday and went for the live entertainment and jam session. Black-Eyed Sally's did not disappoint!

    Not enough people working. 20 minutes waiting for first drinks, which were so watered down. You couldn’t take it. Taste any alcohol in them. Had to ask multiple times for things that we ordered.
