    Last time we went, we saw a mouse scurry across the floor. Upon reporting it to the manager on duty he replied "you probably did" and offered us another seat. 😳

    The portions are HUGE so plan to share or get a box. Prices are pretty good...however the live music gets moved inside if the patio is closed...somewhat loud

    Ask for the habanero/jalapeño BBQ sauce. It has great flavor but not that much bite.

    There meats aren't irradiated, meaning no radiation is in the meat. Huge plus if you ask me as most meat contains radiation, seriously look it up!

    It was really good food, but our waiter did not pay much attention to us. We had to hunt him down to get anything.

    Only good thing I can say is that this place is downtown close to the river. Otherwise be prepared to get sub par service and average food.
