We enjoyed a great meal before the Lions game! It was super busy, but we didn't have to wait long. I will definitely go back and try other items on the menu! It was hard to decide. We had the smash burger and the hot honey chicken. Both were delicious.

This was my first experience and I enjoyed every bit of it all. The service was very exceptional. I didn’t get the bartender name but the woman that was at the bar was amazing when it came to making the drinks. My waitress Britney was awesome, she was very down to earth and respectful and she was very attentive to the needs of me and my girlfriends when it came to our order. I would definitely recommend this restaurant too everyone. The ambience was beautiful and it had a great vibe.
