    Attended Father's Day Brunch. Food was very good and service was even better. A little crowded but never seemed to impact the lines for food. Will be back.

    The pulled pork was really good as was the chili and fried pickles. I wish the plate came with a biscuit instead of a Hawaiian roll but that was the only real complaint.

    Food and service was amazing. Prices were great for the amount of food. The biscuits were to die for, yum! It was a bit loud for talking even with a small group. We would definitely go back.
