My husband and I dined on New Year’s Day in our pajamas, as Pajama Party was the theme! The peppermint mocha coffee was superb! My steak and eggs were expertly prepared. We enjoyed $4 Mimosas with a generous amount of Prosecco. My husband enjoyed the chicken and waffles with a beautiful crispy coating and hot honey dipping sauce. The service was a bit slow due to the holiday crunch; the GM came by our table to check on our table. We’ll be back!

It's one of my favorite restaurants. The servers are always amazing and so friendly. Their fried chicken is amazing. Last time I got the grilled cheese but added on pulled pork and it was one of the best sandwiches of my life. I wish I could remember our servers name because he was awesome and would ask for him every time if I could. He recommends the best stuff always and even when a girlfriend and I stayed longer than normal talking he was so nice and told us to take our time. 20/10 recommend to any and everyone
