Samantha Hunter is the best. Always on top of things and very friendly.
Came in for a late lunch and Sam Hunter was working the bar. Super friendly and attentive. Will be back!!
Sam is the best she should work everyday all day! JK but she is for real amazing
I have stopped frequenting this location due to attitude from the bartender Amber with long blonde hair. I don't know what it is but she seems angry or passive aggressive every time I'm there. She visibly caters to her regulars or possibly her husband because it is hard to get her attention or service from her when she is talking to them the whole time. I dine alone but that doesn't mean I do not deserve proper attention as well, especially how well I typically tip. Not to mention I can smell weed from across the bar on her. I have been happy taking my money elsewhere.
The chicken and waffles have been good other times but this time the chicken and bacon were super tough and dry to the point where they weren't edible. The waffle portion was good at least.The 4 main TVs in the center of the restaurant were all black, likely powered off. The one in the corner was on at least. The lighting in the right is now a high temperature of 7k or 8k, this gives too much blue tint and not the nice orange ambience I would expect.
**Restaurant Review: A Mixed Bag of Experiences** Recent visits to this popular local eatery reveal a spectrum of dining experiences. While some patrons enjoyed attentive service and generous portions, others reported disappointing food and service. Long waits for meals, inattentive staff, and inconsistent food quality overshadowed the enthusiasm of new diners. Issues ranged from poorly executed dishes—like overcooked fish and poorly sauced wings—to unwelcoming bartenders, leading many to reconsider returning. Despite a bustling atmosphere and some positive remarks on service during busy hours, it seems the restaurant struggles to maintain its standards, leaving loyal customers seeking better options elsewhere.

Was a very pleasant meal. Took longer then normal for the food to get out to our table but we showed up right at the busiest dinner hour so I felt like that was to be expected. Food was great, waiter was great. Would go again
Great place great menu. The Kentucky hot brown was excellent. If you like cheese it's a great sandwich.
I met family here for dinner. We had a great evening. The food was delicious and the portions were very large. Staff was friendly and attentive to our needs for refills of our drinks and extra napkins. We will be back soon.
Don?t waste your time. My wife and I were excited to go here for the first time, and will never be back. Our food took 35 mins to get out, and our server only checked on us once after it came out. My ?large? order of wings was $18, and was only 10 wings.The sauce was so liquid that I could barely taste it on the wings. Celery and sauce are extra and we weren?t told that. My wifegot fish and chips and it was an embarrassing display to say the least. Three tiny pieces of frozen fish that were over cooked.$14 for a glorified kids meal. Please see my picture and don?t waste your money.
I have always tried to stop here when I?m back home visiting but unfortunately they have had a change of ownership/leadership and it hasn?t been for the better!! I used to LOVE their Doc style wings but what I got this time was nothing like what theyused to be! The fact that they still advertise these tiny wings as ?JUMBO? and charge $1.80 per tiny wing is completelyunacceptable. To make it worse, they are supposed to be Doc style but as you can see from the picture, they are clearly notcoated well and didn?t have hardly any flavor. When I mentioned it to the on duty night manager, he said what do I want them todo, the box is labeled jumbo?!?! They did give me a few extra wings, to ?make up for it? but this shouldn?t be the norm. Theyneed to go back to weighing them so you get a consistent amount for all the money you pay. Another issue was, I asked for asmall sample of a few flavors so I can see if I liked them, I didn?t like them, but the waitress brought cups of each and I toldher I just wanted to try them but she said that?s ok. When I got the bill, I was charged $0.50 for each of those tastes, whichwere all discarded, minus the little dab I tasted. Unfortunately, this is the last time I will be coming here on my visits, I?lljust have to find a new wing spot. I would not recommend them under current ownership/leadership!!

Could be a 4-star experience. I've visited twice recently and had two completely different experiences. The food is decent; I especially loved the hot ham and cheese sandwich. There are plenty of menu options to choose from.
Just half an hour after opening, this place was incredibly busy—even on a weekday in mid-April. I had previously visited another location, which seems to serve as a...
Your local sports bar is the perfect spot to catch a game, and it's always bustling with activity! I hadn't visited this location in over a decade, and it remains largely the same. The...
