First issue was the way they had the group seated at 3 seperate tables extremely odd and not very accommodating. Second issue was it was our servers first day on the job, to me that 's alot when youre just learning the ropes. Although this person was extremely kind the service was not great no one helped. Third issue their all you can eat was not that, my husband and a friend order this. First dish came out cold my husband ordered another dish as it was all you can eat after reminding the servers multiple times about what 's happening it never came. Fourth issue when we asked for the bill, EVERYONES steaks were over charged. They tried charging us 50$ a plate for a steak that was like 32$ they didn 't even have a steak on the menu that was priced that high. Fifth issue multiple people who did order the steak ended up sick a few hours later... Our group won 't be back to this establishment as there was just so many problems it seemed as if no one takes pride in their job anymore. If you do plan on giving it a try make sure you go over your bill.

I am not a big salad eater, so that is probably the biggest cop out option for vegetarians/vegans. The burger was really good, don't get me wrong, I just wish there were other options. The atmosphere of the restaurant was fine, and everything is very clean. The waitress was awesome and very friendly. I wouldn't likely go back there just because of the menu, but for anyone who doesn't have food restrictions or other dietary requirements, I'm sure this place is super awesome for them. Side note.....it also seemed really expensive! I got the burger that came with fries, and a cranberry juice and it was $28!!! Vegetarian options: Salads and beyond burger......that is all Dietary restrictions: No real plant based options. The beyond burger comes with mayo so I had to ask for it not to be there....I do believe they had gf options though

And it tasted off . Manager said the Cajun seasoning would make the fish go pink lol . Don’t think so . I ordered the chicken bowl . 1st piece of chicken okay second piece was cold and slimy in the middle . This is the second and last time we will come here and won’t recommend to anybody. Sad as way before covid we ate here couple times and it wasn’t bad . Then we had a bad experience (bad food 1st time) so we gave them a break . We decided today 3/30/24 to give it another go after it being so long and what a disappointment and to the manager it’s better to be honest then lie to a Customer as I grew up eating fish of all types my whole life and when you tell someone the fish went pink due to seasoning what a mistake that was . Don’t recommend this place !!! Our server was great and so apologetic about what happen , only good thing I can say about this review!!
