    Valentine dinner was very disappointed. First of all, they’re have a live band inside the building. The music was very loud. The chickens fry steak was so burnt and dry. No manager or server ever come around to check on the table. Never again going to that place.

    This place has gone down the tubes… I’m guessing it’s under new management and they are going the cheap route.. serving $15 margaritas in solo cups, walls are filthy and Need to be cleaned or painted and dining furniture looks like it came 2nd hand after a fast food place closed. The ONLY good thing we can say is the band that was playing was good.

    What a treat! The meal started with their famous cornbread and so tasty. We ordered the chips and salsa and the chips were like air and not at all greasy. My husband had the Navajo Taco and it was impressive! HUGE and he enjoyed every bit and wants to go back to get it again. I had the chicken strips and will try something else next time as I thought the buffalo sauce was on the side but it is on the strips, so if you like buffalo sauce, you'll love it. We ended with the Ancho fudge pie and that's like eating warm fudge with whipped cream - heavenly! It was all just fantastic!!! Happy Hour begins at 3pm in the entire restaurant, not just the bar, so savings on drinks and appetizers. We plan to take guests in a couple of weeks as it's too good not to be shared.

    I had a very good time in the restaurant. It was a rare time without kids and I was surprised with the taste of the food and drinks in the Restaurant. Very good stuff! Antonilo, the waiter, was also amazing and very sympathetic. The manager even spoke Portuguese to us. Another very nice guy in the restaurant. We were very pleased and happy with our afternoon.

    Used to be our favorite spot. Sadly, it looks like management needs a little help to get this place back on track. Food, wonderful. Service, not so good. They happily put our two tables of six together, but then forgot about us. Drinks took 50 minutes, most entrees came right before the drinks. Need your bill? Forget about it! Had to beg the manager to print out bills so we could pay him. Never saw our server again after he took our order. Sounds like it was an issue with servers not coming in, but geez, it was pretty bad. And I hate to say this cause I literally love this place.

    This location has changed a lot. Prices are higher, smaller portions. A friend’s chicken fried steak was not edible. Service wasn’t great. Not sure if workers called out or if they weren’t staffed properly. Waitress was kind though and replaced the meal.

    It was fine. Food was good, although not as exceptional as I believe it used to be many years ago. It used to be less of a family place and more upscale; certainly nothing wrong with catering to families but it has changed somewhat over the years. Granted it had been a long time since we’d been there but the lights were bright, the decor was dated. I believe they were short staffed as many places are….but the wait staff was working hard to keep you served so kudos for that.
