   We have always loved this place! Although, I do wish they had a better wine selection or at least a reasonable corsage fee.

   The food is always excellent. The service is great! I’ve tried just about everything on their menu and have never been disappointed.

   The waitress was rude to my pregnant guest, did not explain that she had cancelled her order, she didn’t suggest another plate for her to have, and I also got sick from the ribs. Will not be returning.

   The food was absolutely amazing! Really good service and everything we tried was fantastic from fried pickles, and candied bacon appetizer to burnt ends, brisket, steak, even the loaded, baked potato with chili. The whole family loved everything! Oh don’t miss the corn bread muffins!!!

   The portions were pretty good. Being from Texas it was not bad. Chx baked potato was nice and moist however, it did need butter, and make chopped up chicken and not slices of chx. the Mac and cheese was missing just a bit of spice. The breakfast burrito was tasty. But overall the food was pretty good. We would be back.

   There was one waitress for the entire restaurant, so that was a bit difficult

    Mother's Day visit. Ordered the 5 Person Feast for the Family of 5 Adults, and it easily would have fed 8 non-teen people. We gladly took half the meat home. Definitely will return.
