"Went this past Saturday August 31st to see if what folks say about this place is true. I was by myself and was added to waitlist shortly after my arrival as they were a little busy and was told it would be a 20 to 30 minute wait. I asked for recommendations of the hostess while I waited and she was friendly enough with replies but didnt make me want to try one entrée over another. My table was ready about 10 to 15 minutes later. I was seated and began looking over the menu. Server came by in a few minutes but never introduced himself. I ordered Strawberry Lemondrop Martini, garlic fries, side Caesar salad Smokehouse Chicken sandwich and Pineapple Pomegranate fizz. I had asked my server for his opinion on items I was interested in and he was honest about food choices which as a 1st time patron, I appreciated. Shortly after ordering, my cocktail was brought to the table. The drink was so full that the stem and base of the glass were wet from overflow and spillage; only after I asked the server was a cocktail napkin provided. I need to add that there was also no napkin placed under my sweating regular drink glass. The appetizer and main meal were not brought by my server but someone else from my recollection. It was not necessarily busy, but someone else brought my main meal. Just kind of dropped it off. I was not impressed by the worn out wooden trays the food was served directly on, Gross! No one checked on me to see if I needed anything throughout my meal, though my server seemed to be making rounds at his other tables. But he didn't check on me until I was finished and ready for the check. Garlic fries were tasty enough but I would rather they had been served on an actual plate not a wooden tray that obviously had seen better days. The fries with my sandwich, again served on a worn out wooden tray, were somewhat of an afterthought; several small hard overcooked pieces. Chicken smokehouse sandwich was tasty and well seasoned. Portion size was good, I had to cut it in half to eat was so large. I had no room for dessert though they sounded (albeit mass manufactured) delicious. Overall, this is a nice place with decent food but I was not super impressed. Didn't get dessert as I said. As food was filling there was no room and I was not interested in taking any home. I will most likely visit again, for the opportunity for the service to impress and to try some of their other entrées, thiugh i will ask for actual plates in lieu of wooden serving trays."

"We ordered a couple of drinks, corn ribs, a beef brisket plate and a half slab of ribs. The beverages could have been better. The corn ribs had good flavor, but they were not the easiest to eat. The brisket was slightly above average, although it needed a lot of barbecue sauce to make it taste good. The ribs were the same quality as the brisket. The cornbread muffins were the best, a proper southern kind of savory. Overall, the food was decent, but it was overpriced and nothing to write home about. The service was unfortunately very disappointing. While there were plenty of tables available, we were given a table on the 2nd floor that received a strong draft of cold air from outside, was in the middle of foot traffic from and to the 1st floor, and next to floors that shook every time people walked past our table, which happened every 15 seconds. Despite being right in the middle of foot traffic, our server did not have any interest in actually serving us. He took our drink and starter orders and brought our drinks to our table very quickly. The corn ribs were served to us by somebody else quickly as well. It was a decent start. But then our server, who was standing and talking to his coworkers for 10 minutes, never bothered to take our main course orders. Somebody else, a 3rd person, noticed, so she took our orders. A 4th person served us our plates, but she didn't ask if we want more to drink. A 5th person took our empty glasses but also didn't bother to ask if we wanted more to drink or water refills. After we finished, we sat there for 10 extra minutes before our server finally came back to ask if we were done and then took our plates... again, not asking if we wanted more to drink. We sat there for another 5 minutes before a 6th person asked us if we wanted the check. A 7th person brought our check to our table, took it back and then processed our payment. Our server, who was 10 feet from us, didn't acknowledge us as we left."

"Don't waste your time going here unless you like no service and cold food! We stopped here passing through town. It was maybe half full. The lady was very friendly and took our order (4 meals and a appetizer)and after that it was all down hill. After we ordered we noticed there was a pizza sitting under the warming lights and thought wow that stinks whoever is getting that pizza. They finally came and took it to the people after walking past it several times. Then we noticed someone's appetizer was sitting under the warming light for a good 10 minutes both ladies walked past and looked at it several times. Well now she brought out two of our meals and came back with the appetizer that was sitting there for 10 min then brought our other two meals out. The two pastas that we ordered were both cold also. Both hamburgers were hot so im guessing the pasta got done first and was sitting back there waiting for our burgers to cook. Three bites into my meal my pop was empty and remained empty until I had two bites left she came to fill it. Both women were more worried about clearing off dirty tables(there was plenty of tables clean it was only half full) then taking care of the people that were there eating. We didn't complain or say a word about the lack of quality of food or service because we didn't want to wait for new food since we wanted to get back on the road. But as soon as I laid the money down to pay that was the quickest the server got to our table all night. We have been traveling through MN since Tuesday and this has definitely been the worst service our whole trip. There were other places that were more packed and same amount of servers and we still received better service at those places."
