   I really can’t rate the food or value because the service was so bad that we left before we were ever seated. The first person was on the phone and refused to make eye contact or even acknowledge our party. The next person seemed so put out that we had a large party with an open table reservation that she had to ask her manager where to seat us, only to tell us we’d need to wait 30 minutes to be seated. We were 15 mins early, but the restaurant was half empty.

   We had reservations. The lady at the take out counter yelled at my son with autism and my father wit Alzheimer’s that they need to wait 25-30 mins. I walked in hearing this after my father said we had reservations on open table. Joy came to seat us . She said immediately she was 7 days a week and hated her job and wish the day was over. I am visiting from maui, I’ve been in the restaurant business for over 25 years. I was shocked and very disappointed. To top off the double bad service, they would not honor our online app ( I downloaded famous Dave’s ) so we paid full price. I will never be back to this location. Joy needs a day off obviously. Everytime we asked for anything she yelled “ HEARD” at us. I wanted to tell her customer service is 99% of the tip. I usually tip 25% and above. This place is not a place for anyone. Several ppl walked out.

   Service was ok. The food was average at best. Not sure how it’s famous.
