Reviews
"I have been here multiple times, and every time, it is always good. Service is always good, super friendly, and nice. Everything is affordable, and you get what you pay for, would go back."
"We went to eat during Winter games! There were 3 tables that came after us and got served before us! We sat there for 30 minutes without even being asked what we want for drinks. We finally ordered drinks and asked to order food as well and she said we needed to do drinks first. We ordered drinks (6 out of 8 waters) and we never got our drinks after waiting another 15 minutes! The one other table that was there with us got their food but we didn’t get anything. We left and they didn’t say anything to us! Super poor service and wait staff! I would recommend not going there at all! Not worth it!"
"Unfortunately we visited over the winter games weekend, our large group knows it’s hard to serve when busy- so we always try to be patient. We sat down at 2:30 ish and didn't even get served a drink before 3:10 and weren’t allowed to order food yet. Keep in mind other members of our group had already eaten and done. We ended up leaving around 3:15 due to not putting a food order in yet or having drinks on the table (the drinks were 6/8 waters)."
"Our server was wonderful on the evening we visited. The food was below average and flavorless for a barbecue place."
"Kind of a small sports bar feel, but without all the TV’s, which is nice. There’s at least one or 2, but it’s minimal. Almost always have good luck here. Most the time if there are issues, it’s due to it being busy, and a bit out of their control. Food has always been very good, no matter what we order. I’m a fan of their smoked brisket and would recommend, but again, so far, everything has been good. Their loaded baked potato soup, which is a house regular, is also very good, and I’d recommend as well. They have a jalapeño ketchup to use with the steak fries if you desire. It’s minimal in spice. Sounds scarier than it is, but gives it a little zip. Try a little and see what you think before going big on it."
