James BillerMarch 18, 2015The Mac and cheese here is BOMB along with just about everything else I've tried here. 10/10 atmosphere was great and so was the service.

AlissaApril 18, 20134th time here. I can agree with first review about it not being a good experience in the beginning, but,each time we come back its better. Foods always hot,comes out quicker and is always delicious.UpvoteDownvote- JD ScottJune 14, 2013Tasty sides & great sweet potato fries. I had the pulled chicken, which could've been a little better. Some was juicy, some was really dry. Good service. All in all, I give it a 7 out of 10.UpvoteDownvote

Amy BMarch 14, 2013We had to wait over 45 minutes for our food, then 2 of our dishes were cold, two were barely warm. Our waitress said they serve their ribs just above room temperature. No apologies for any of it.UpvoteDownvote

"I love this place. It's hard to find stores with full service meat departments anymore. This place will custom cut anything you want on site and they usually have several butchers working."
