"First, we tried to reserve for 1pm, but were told two other large parties were already booked. We opted for a 2pm reservation instead. We originally had a reservation for 30 diners, but dropped it to 20 an hour or so prior because a third of our party chose to go separate to avoid the wait. We arrived 30 minutes early and checked in, but we were told we couldn 't be seated until 2 pm. Then we watched a party of 15 with no reservation get seated after waiting less than 5 minutes. When we were finally seated promptly at 2:01pm. We were seated in the same area as the portion of our party that arrived earlier with no reservation and an extra 10 people (so 20 people seated with minimal wait and no reservation). Finally seated. Waited about 10 more minutes for drink orders, then another 10 for drinks to arrive and to give appetizer orders. The onion fries (blooming onion) was burnt. Finally ordered dinner, and it arrived after a reasonable wait. The food was great, with one exception. The grilled chicken breasts were squashed flat and had the tenderness of a rubber tire. The ribs and shrimp were delicious; well seasoned, perfectly fried, and served with a yummy bbq sauce. All the diners eating the grilled chicken opted to coat it in the bbq sauce and dig in with heavy artillery (steak knife and fork). My jaw still hurts from chewing! If the chicken had been fall off the bone tender like the ribs, i would have still given five stars even though we really felt like we were not seated intentionally. High five to our server, he should have had help, but he did a pretty good job by himself. In short, 1) just show up, dont bother with a reservation, and 2) stay away from the grill chicken breast unless you are working on having a well-defined, chiseled jawline. Parking: Th restaurant parking is not easily found if you aren 't a camper. It could use a big sign that says Restaurant parking this way Kid-friendliness: The kids menu needs a little help, no vegetables or fruit offered. Only fries or mashed potatoes are offered. But we were permitted to sub steamed veggies. Fries still brought out on accident."
