    When we arrived, our table was ready early, which was nice. After we were seated, we were asked our drink orders, which took an exceptionally long time to arrive. We ordered apps and it was at least 20 minutes before we received them. The cheese curds and brussels sprouts were great... and that's about where the good part of the evening stopped. We had finished our apps and the plates were cleared before our main order was even asked for. From that point, it took almost an hour for our food to come out while the tables around us were seated after us, ordered after us, got their meals, finished, paid, and left before we got our dinner. Once we did receive it, the brisket was cold and dry. The food itself was subpar. The overpriced burgers were no different than anything I could get at Chili's for half the price. The meat itself was bland and flavorless, the only thing that made it have any worthwhile flavor was the sauce it was served with. When the cold brisket was brought to our server's attention, she said she would send over the manager and bring me a fresh serving. The manager never came, and the replacement brisket was at least lukewarm. We were also told there would be a ten percent veteran discount. Once we got home and checked the receipt, there was no discount taken off. As a family, we all decided we would never come back to this place. We didn't call the management because we were worried that we may be punished by being sent gift certificates to come back and suffer through this awful experience once more. What a way to spend Father's Day...

    The server we had was great. She was attentive but not constantly checking on us.

    Our server was amazing. I enjoyed my korbel old fashioned from the bar. I even enjoyed the little starter salad and Brussel sprouts app. Unfortunately that's about the last thing we enjoyed. Two of us had the brisket and it was very dry. Even with the side of BBQ sauce which was delicious it was hard to get down. My other friend got the chicken and felt it was also dry. The mash garlic mashed potatoes looked like they'd been sitting in a hot water bath all day and we're not enjoyable. To be fair to the server they did ask how everything was but we're not ones to complain as we weren't looking for a discount just wanted to give you some feedback. My friend did really enjoy the burger he got so it wasn't all bad. I will say the esthetic inside is really nice and we loved seeing all the outdoor seating. We'll definitely be back to enjoy a nice summer day and give it another go.

    Delicious meals, sizable portions, incredible smoked meats. The bar is also a great place for happy hour with a variety of drink options and excellent snacks to choose from. Jordan was our server twice and he was outstanding.

    The service was great but the food was cold and the fries were under cooked. Dined here before when they were not as busy and it was a great. So I will attribute this experience to it being busy.
