    The flatbreads and the eggrolls are always delish! We have eaten there many times over the years and they do a good job with both these menu items as well as the hot pork rinds.....

    Excellent service and food! We had a wonderful family celebration on Father’s Day. Our waiter, Robbie, was excellent and had great food recommendations. The homemade peanut butter pie is definitely worth the calories and we highly recommend!

    The food we ordered was overpriced. Perhaps we would have been better off with going the “pizza” route. The rice and grits that came with our dishes as sides were undercooked and crunchy. Two of us ordered the Pork Chops. Mac and cheese was greasy and oily and managed to be bland. The pork chops themselves were a strange cut being 50% bone Desserts weren’t much better. The peanut butter pie was ok but the marshmallow (I think that’s what it was) on top and pretzels were a bit too much. The brownie was both hard and soft and had a strange flavor. I would avoid this obvious tourist trap.
