    The onion rings and beef tenderloin sandwich are good, but everything is priced really high. The mixed drinks are not worth it. Stick with a bottled beer. Not worth coming back.

    The majority of the staff are college students, so leave 18%-20%. And if you can't tip...stay at home.

    Get the onion rings as an app. They're so big you have to eat them with a fork and knife!

    Dessert tip: The Fudge Pie is good, but misleading. It's basically a brownie, not like Fudge. Not my favorite, but it tasted good.
