Food is always plentiful and taste. Some items were left off of our order but we were so full it didn’t matter. We were disappointed to see an “admin charge” pop up on our bill with no explanation or justification. Manager was gracious to remove it.

Awesome experience. Took my kids because they wanted to celebrate my birthday with me. Everyone enjoyed the food. The bacon is the best with both of the sauces. My son and I had the steak sandwich with fries and we agreed it was really good, my other son had the sweet and spicy chicken sandwich and he said it was very good. They even gave me a free dessert for my birthday which was very unexpected but very nice. My son (who said he was full), ate about 90% of the brownie with ice cream dessert. He says it was incredible. Awesome meal all around. Service was great.
