We waited over two hours for our food, and when it finally arrived, some of our party received well-cooked meals while others had dishes that were undercooked. Our waitress disappeared for an extended period, and we eventually realized she was handling multiple roles—cook, waitress, bartender, and cashier. I understand many restaurants are struggling to find staff, but sitting in a restaurant for two hours only to see other tables get served, eat, and leave while we couldn't even get our drinks refilled was frustrating. I won’t be returning, and I can't recommend this place to anyone else. Proceed with caution!

I ordered fried pickles, and the batter was incredibly salty and excessively greasy; I ended up removing all the batter and just eating the pickles. The coffee tasted like it had been brewed with an old gym sock for a month, and the egg rolls were just as disappointing. The only positive aspect was the water with a lemon wedge!

Locally owned and very homie feel. The beer was ice cold and I had to try one of the new items on their menu. I tried their Tenderloin Sandwich and it was delicious the seasoning was amazing and was cooked just how I wanted it medium rare. Highly recommend this place.

What happened? Beef blackstrap was undercooked, mash potatoes were cold and tea was old. Used to be so good, now it's a joke. read more What happened? Beef blackstrap was undercooked, mash potatoes were cold and tea was old. Used to be so good, now it's a joke.

We ordered the potato skins photo below) and it was delicious there was 6 of them but I forgot to take a photo of that and only have the one. I got the pulled pork sandwich and it was the the best pulled pork I have ever had as long as I remember). I got shoestring fries and mac and cheese with the pulled pork, there were really tasty. Three members of my party got the buffet does not happen all the time and photo below) and they said it was really good. The second time they went back some of the chicken was a little undercooked but we hold them and they quickly fixed it. The buffet consisted of chicken, corn, mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy. My sister got the cheeseburger kids cheeseburger)she said it was really good but was smaller than she would have liked. She got ice cream after it was vanilla and it was really good. I got pictures of the menu and the sweet tea was tasty not crazy sweet. The waiter was mostly on top of the drinks and he was nice. The bathrooms are a little small but they are clean. It can get a little busy here but it is worth it, I recommend coming here.
