The service was excellent, and our food arrived hot and tender. We ordered a burger, a BBQ plate, and fried pickles, along with two drinks, and our total came to $42. We left feeling satisfied and happy!

The restaurant itself closes at 11 PM, but that information wasn’t online either. I arrived hungry at 8:55 PM and was politely turned away. I get it, but it’s frustrating to have gone through the effort to check first only to be disappointed. I’ll definitely give it another shot another time because it looks like a great place!

I started with the fried mushrooms, followed by the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, greens, and a side of mac and cheese to share with my wife. There were only us and one other couple in the restaurant, and the bartender/server did a decent job. While the sides were tasty, they were lukewarm to cold on the outside but warm in the center, so it seemed like they might have been reheated in the microwave. The chicken fried steak was fairly average and likely frozen at some point—it was quite chewy. On a positive note, the margarita was fantastic—small but delicious for $10. Our total for one appetizer, one entree, a margarita, and sweet tea came to $50. I'm fine with that price, but I really expect hot food and quality meat. I might give it another shot; one patron at the bar raved about his burger.

I had the ribs and Shishito peppers, and both were exceptional! The staff is well-trained and very professional. I also tried three different cocktails, all of which were delicious! I can't wait to see what else they have to offer. Thank you for transforming that rundown old building into a vibrant, fresh venue! I’ll definitely share the good news! Great job!

This place exceeded all my expectations! The food was absolutely phenomenal, and that might even be an understatement. The drinks were not only incredibly delicious but also unique. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. This will definitely be our new favorite spot! By the way, the burger was possibly the best I have ever had!

Alicia, the hostess, was wonderful. The margaritas and pecan fudge were both outstanding. I’ll definitely be returning!

The service was good and the food came hot and tender. We had a burger, Bbq plate and fried pimples with two drinks and there were 42 dollars. We're full and happy.

The drinks came after our food. And our queso had this top layer like it had been sitting out and after a while water started to form on top. The waitress was nice and the place and food looks good.
