Our server was amazing! Great vide! Just there for drinks before the show! When a mixed drink came to strong she immediately could see something was wrong on my first sip. Took it back to to rectify! 2nd one was perfect. Chatted with us and told us about karaoke, line dancing and drag brunch. Super bubbly and enjoying her job. Will definitely be back!

First time there, went with my wife and two adult sons. We arrived earlier than our reservation time, but the staff were very gracious about accommodating us. The food was fantastic. The fried chicken and biscuits are not to be missed. The sliders are likewise remarkable. The cocktails are expertly mixed; flavorful, complex, and quite strong. Overall, really great restaurant. Highly recommend.
