    I typically enjoy my experience here. The server barely came bye to refill waters or check on how things were. The fries were cold. My salmon was good but supposed to be blackened. Unfortunately this was my second mediocre experience recently. Not sure what is happening at this location. On a bright spot, I love the double nickel salad!

    Only reason have it a lower score on service, our server brought the wings as the same time as rest of food. Not as an appetizer.

    The service, food & beverages are always consistent & good. Unfortunately, the fries tonight were cold and seemed to have been sitting out for a while. Other than that, always a good experience!

    One thing I always found was a consistent meal and service at this venue. However , their staple of fish and chips is a little to be desired in this trip. Service was great as usual but a noticeable difference in those fish and chips. Disappointed this trip.

    It's comfort food at its best. I had the meatloaf and smashed potato's, greenbeans. To drink, i had a wonderful glass of ice tea. The servicer was a little over whelmed, a lot of people there. Friday night, so give yourself a little extra time. You can make reservations! Price $$
