Please stop accepting mediocrity as excellence. The reviews about this place suggests otherwise. It is extremely sad when an owner can't respond to some private but negative criticism about their restaurant. It seems they're more concerned about their catering business than the actual physical establishment that holds their future and the reputations of the young men and women that work there. This review is in support of the young people working there but they are set up to fail by an owner that fails to take OWNERSHIP!! The front of house was amazing, as they were affable and knowledgeable but the food was extremely subpar. The wings were either parboiled, par-baked, or I'm aghast, perhaps microwaved. They were not worth the 40 minutes drive despite the many positive reviews, although the garlic smelled AMAZING!! And when an owner can't be bothered to respond to two emails in private before a social media post that tells you loads about the owner's priorities, which are not with you as a customer or the employees who proudly were there logo. The attempt at being rustic and country failed as some of the tables and doors are showing rust and wear and grease stains from people pushing doors open. There's a fast food wing establishment, many miles away but they are thousands of miles better than this poor excuse for an establishment. They pride themselves on the fact that they are farm to table food service. Their attempt is laughable! - Kevin Clarke
