    The food was okay, but it was over priced. Unfortunately we fought gnats & flies throughout our dining experience, which made the food even less desirable.

    Excellent service and a fun vibe. I wanted the chicken and waffles but don't care for spicy foods, and the server advised they could leave off the jalepenos and could even use regular, non-jalepeno batter. In addition, she advised my son to get extra salad dressing on the side of his salad, explaining that most people prefer a bit more. She was very helpful with the extra tips/adjustments. The food was fine - good, not "wow" - but I would 100% go back again. The Arnold Palmer was fantastic.
