    The Bacon Cheeseburger was juicy & delicious. We also celebrated a birthday and were presented with a special group desert & candle… at no additional cost.

    Food was really good and the service we received from Angelica was exceptional. The biggest reason was my Ice Tea never went below 1/3 full and she checked back frequently. Such a simple concept that most servers just don't get.

    I made our reservation for 7:30 for a standard table, specifically. When we arrived at 7:30, we were asked if we would sit at a high top table. I told them we had specifically requested a standard table when we made the reservation on Open Table. I was told we would have to wait 15 to 20 minutes. I was disappointed in this. I told the hostess that I had made the reservation for 7:30 and specifically requested a standard table. After a few minutes, we were seated at the standard table. The food is always great. The service was great. The noise level is pretty loud because all of the TV's were set to sports, football primarily.
