June 25 · Makiya LewisThe waitress was very attentive and communicative. The bone-in wings were amazing. Favored the honey jerk ones, but the honey lemon pepper were a close 2nd. Highly recommend for any day of the week. Will be coming back again!
August 06 · Alexander CamposEverything I order here I love. Shrimp appetizer is so good, lobster roll was pretty good, fries are good, even the Ceasar salad was the best. One time there was even a really good DJ so it was even better that night. Good place for fun with family, friends or couples.
June 19 · Lori EEnjoyed our visit to Pre Game today! Our server Stephanie was so friendly and fantastic 🙂 Nice place, very nice atmosphere. Corndip and tortilla chips were excellent!🌽 nice size lot next to the restaurant for parking.
December 29 · Noemi Crespo RiceM'lady and I had an awesome time and the wings are amazing here; they didn't have our third choice of sauce for the Wednesday special on hand, but we made another selection and did just fine with it... Sorry to dude hoping the Cubbies lost tonight, but you'll have another chance tomorrow! 😜
