    AMAZING food but come early or make a Rez on Saturdays. 2 Hr wait but worth it. Try the smoke and coke.

    Terrible service waited over 30 minutes after placing order. Never saw the waitress after getting drinks and apps. No one seemed to care our food never showed up. 1st and last time at this restaurant

    The team service is a joke, most of the time nobody knows who is paying attention to you so nobody is. Service at the bar during lunch is extremely slow.
