Great meal and service. Only problem was we felt rushed to leave in the end as the next sitting hovered over us (literally) while we finished up!

The $20 hamburger was very dry and tough. The french fries were not hot, and sat very heavy in my stomach. The operation is more about moving people through quickly than creating a comfortable dining experience. Instead of allowing families and friends to dine at their leisure as most restaurants do, instead they give you a time limit . You are given a time slot (ours was 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.) during which you must arrive, order your drinks and meal, and finish it up and then give up the table. This in itself, while not customer-focused, was not the biggest problem. The biggest problem was how they dealt with some of our party being twenty minutes late. They must have approached us four times in that twenty minutes, and in an extremely rude and abrupt manner -- insisting that we order (more than the drinks we already had) before our group was complete. I am not sure what their panic was about as we still had loads of time to order and eat our meals at 6:50 p.m. We are talking a glorified hamburger joint here, with cafeteria style tables, not fine dining! Our table was complete at 6:52 p.m. and we ordered shortly after. The food arrived quickly, reflecting the care put into it! We ate, and could not even enjoy our meal without being interrupted several times to be reminded that we had to be out at 8:30 p.m. -- at 7:40 p.m. they became frantic about us finishing up. We finished by 8 p.m., in loads of time. Many tables around us were empty (about 40% empty restaurant) yet they were acting like we were squatters who needed to be kicked out! Then I saw why! They must have told everybody to come at the same time to create the illusion of popularity, and a line up! There must have been 25 people all arrive in the span of 15 minutes. It was mayhem with people in a crowded line up that was completely unavoidable. This restaurant should study operations management and customer service to provide a relaxing experience. They should also be polite, not rude.

Good servers and beer . Food selection a bit limited in mains and large portions but good food. Can be noisy when a band since nothing to absorb the sound. Good times

The Group (Fistful 0 'Diddley) playing was amazing. The food delicious but overpriced for sure. Ambiance good. Little bit of a hassle with where our seating was. Didn't seem too flexible in seating. Overall a good time.
