"After waiting for about 10 minutes without seeing a server, I flagged down the hostess again and asked her to send someone over since we hadn’t been attended to. She approached the server, who seemed completely uninterested in his job, yet he still didn’t visit our table. After another 5 minutes of waiting without any service, I went to find the manager since we hadn’t even received water after 15 minutes. He came over, visibly unimpressed, rolled his eyes, and slowly went to get our waters. Once he was involved, we finally had another server come over to take our orders. To make matters worse, our drinks took another 10 minutes to arrive, despite the restaurant being only about half full and having plenty of staff available, so that wasn’t the issue. By the 25-minute mark, we finally got our first drink and quickly placed our orders, unsure of how much longer we’d be waiting. The food itself was average at best, definitely not up to the standard I expected, especially considering the prices. To top it all off, the manager never even stopped by to apologize for our experience, which indicates that his leadership might be at the root of the poor service here. Overall, this will be the last time we dine at this establishment due to the AWFUL SERVICE. The only positive note about this experience was an older gentleman who worked there. He was clearly working hard and outperformed everyone else. He was the oldest team member and definitely stood out as a true asset. His efforts are the only reason I didn't rate this experience as a 1-star review."

"I had such high expectations of this place. I had been seeing them pop up on my Facebook feed for days and finally talked my husband into making the 45 minute drive to try it out. We walked in and the place was inviting enough. We put our name in and had a short five minute wait. I was thinking we are off to a good start. The waitress came and took our drink order and told us the specials. We put in for an appetizer of bbq cheese fries. She brought our drinks back and we put in our regular order. This all took about 15 minutes. Not bad. 45 minutes later…. No appetizer yet. We see the table next to us get their food. One of the orders was wrong. It was exactly what my husband had ordered, we exchanged glances. The waitress took it back to the kitchen. Our appetizer finally made its way out and the fries were cool to the touch and soggy in the middle. The bbq was also cool to the touch. I informed a man behind the bar and he immediately asked the kitchen to remake them, however before we could get them our main course had made its way to the table. Now mind you I ordered the special whole rack of ribs and prime rib with a side of macaroni and cheese and okra. I cut into the prime rib expecting mouth watering deliciousness but instead was met with cold meat. Now hear me out. I do believe it could have been delicious had it been hot. Who wants cold meat?? I wasn’t eating a sandwich. I informed the waitress and she offered to microwave it, I said please just remove it from the bill and take it back. She did. So that was disappointing. The ribs were mediocre and very salty however they were extremely tender. The macaroni was pretty good I’ll give them that. I didn’t even receive my okra and actually just thought about that as I am writing this review. All in all it was a total disappointment. I don’t know if they were having an off night in the kitchen or what was happening but for the money we spent I definitely expected better food. Oh well you live and you learn. Hope this review saves someone else time and money!"
