Genna SpeedSeptember 1, 2014The 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!
Melanie U.March 29, 2010This place is best enjoyed around sunset, overlooking the river while keeping cool with a glass of Sangria!
Heather MApril 20, 2013Dessert tip: The Fudge Pie is good, but misleading. It's basically a brownie, not like Fudge. Not my favorite, but it tasted good.
Linda ParsonsMarch 28, 2010This is a fantastic place to eat. Sit out on the deck and enjoy the river scenery.
