Service was mediocre, over all ambiance was that where the staff was more concerned with talking and mingaling with one another. Chips were stale, food was bland.I ordered A steak burrito, there was hardly any steak and the steak that there was, was mostly fat.

Staff was arm wrestling at a table on the floor, the chicken sandwich I ordered was given to another patron, and the mixed drinks taste like punch. Avoid this place at all costs.

I only had a beer at the bar but it looks like a good place to eat. Definitely looks different! Good selection of brews and we'll stocked bar.

We've eaten there many times and enjoyed it. Yesterday, we had chicken fried steak and eggs with red chili gravy and chicken enchiladas, delicious! Our waitress was friendly and fantastic. I wish I could remember her name . It was about 4pm., and I believe she has blond hair. Hopefully that helps.
