    Service was less than desirable as it took lots of time to get drinks and food. Food was very good.

    Our server was really wonderful. She was patient and kind and knowledgeable. The turkey burgers were excellent, we want to come back just to get those. The only negative was the breakfast potatoes that came with the omelette. They were super hot and spicy and not really edible. We would have liked to have had a choice on that since they are so extreme. But that was just one minor negative because the experience was very good and we will come back again.

    The staff was very nice and accommodating for our table of 8. We actually ended up booking 2 table of 4 bc that's all that was available online, but when we arrived, the hostess happily put our two tables together. In all fairness, it was Easter Sunday, so they may have been a bit short staffed: the waitress was slow and running around like a chicken with its head cut off; the food took forever to come to the table and it was luke warm at best. I highly recommend the Onion soup, Deviled eggs, and the grilled cheese sandwich. The Burnt ends were a dry rub and held nothing compared to the ones in Kansas City. My steak tasted as if it had no seasoning on it whatsoever!

    We sat outside for happy hour. Great deals on food and drinks. The onion soup (not on happy hour) was delicious! Autumn was a great server!

    You know I think we caught the bartenders on an off night. We have dined here several times but never at the bar. We like to come here to watch sports, so many tvs & the food is fantastic, not a usual combo. On Saturday pm, we came in to watch the ACC tournament final game. The bartenders seemed bothered and honestly a bit rude/dismissive. I don't think we did anything to irritate them but who knows. We love the place, we will be back but maybe keep to the tables.

    We had such a great time last month when we had a girls night that we decided to make it our meeting spot here. However, tonight was not the case, the gentleman that was taking care of us was rude and really rarely paid attention to us. We felt like we were not welcome there or we were an inconvenience to him.
