Reviews
"$13 for a single patty bacon cheeseburger with no sides and water. The burger was nicely cooked and served on a dried out bun. Staff seems to be sorely lacking in attentiveness. Overall, they may be asking too much of the kids they have working here, or just completely lack management direction. I hate to leave a bad review, but the last several times we have been in here, the experience has been similarly disappointing if not worse. Kind of feels like they just dont care about their food or their service overall. Hope they improve. They could have a great thing going here in Princeton, where there are few other choices."
"I've had their food twice. Can't really judge all the food. Appetizers tasted right out of the Walmart freezer section. The chili taste like out of the can with brisket scraps throw in. The tenderloin was ok but over cooked. But you know what I'm going to give them another chance soon."
"Got waited on fairly fast. But took almost a half hour to get our food and there was only one other table of 5 people. Once we got our food and were done, waited 10 minutes for waitress to bring our check. I finally had to go find her. Won't go back again, due to service."
"First time at this restaurant! Food was good, best bbq I ever had? No, however the server was very prompt, polite and attentive. The food was good, I had the 1/2 lb combo, brisket, and pulled pork with baked beans and spicy cornbread. The beans and cornbread came out hot like out of the overn. The meats were good. Pork was a tad dry, but I nailed it with their spicy bbq sauce, which had a perfect amount of spice to it, not too hot. Brisket was tender as well. Wife had the trio of sliders, which she really enjoyed, and a side of sweet potato waffle fries, which they made fresh, so they were piping hot too. I would go back, the atmosphere was welcoming and the food was good."
"This was such a neat find. The place has an awesome ambiance. Our server was extremely friendly and helpful explaining the different menu items. You could tell the servers worked well as a team. The food was very delicious too! All a wonderful experience. Oh, there are 2 separate roo.s for seating and outdoor seating."
