    We celebrated y husband's birthday and it was disappointing. Good: The reservation was easy to make and modify and our table was ready as soon as we arrived. The downside was the food, Not so good: The food tasted as though it was frozen food and not fresh. The fries looked and tasted as though they had been re-cooked; same for he wings. The BBQ chicken was not completely done and the ribs were not the best. Our family have had better. Not worth what we paid at all! We will not be returning nor will we recommend.

    Excellent ribs, but the server was not very attentive. Noticed staff changes and they need a bit more training

    Was very surprised to see how empty the restaurant was on Friday night - hence, the quiet level. Our waitstaff was excellent. She was very accommodating to my friend's request for gluten-free food. All four of us enjoyed our meals; however, the food came out of the kitchen in a staggard menu. My own meal of boneless beef short ribs was supposed to come with a side of mashed potatoes. Instead, a young many brought me out a bowl several minutes after the rest of my meal arrived. In addition, the two drinks that were ordered were terrible. WAYTOO MUCH ICE for a Bourbon and a Magarita. At this point, I cannot recommend this restaurant to friends. We have been here twice in the past, and our visits went off without a hitch.

    Management should dim the lights to about half—too bright/ no ambience

    We ate here a couple of years ago, but just had appetizers as we checked in late at the adjacent hotel and didn’t want a full meal. As the mixed appetizer offerings tend to be, it was a selection of greasy foods but we put that down to our bad choice. We found ourselves back here at the same hotel for a family visit and decided to have dinner here with our older grandkids. It’s obvious this is a chain well past its prime! Atmosphere is dated and food below par when compared to its peers.

    Ribs were fabulous! Booth was cozy. They need to turn down the lights and work on ambience.
