    Overall disappointing. Food ok but not great. Had burgers, wings, meatloaf and none of them were great. Best thing we had was Twix ice cream. Had been wanting to try this place but don’t think I’ll be back.

    Had a 7:00 reservation, did not get a table until 7:30! Trent our waiter was great and very accommodating. The host and hostess were not. Apparently they know how to take reservations, they just don’t know how to keep reservations. Will not reserve a table in the future.

    Get a burger! We enjoyed the 80/20 burger with fries, dark meat chicken with potatoes and biscuit and gravy and a side of onion rings. Our physicians may not approve of that meal but our taste buds and bellies were happy. My husband and I like to order and share so I had a taste of everything. We both thought the burger was the star of the show but enjoyed everything very much. The chicken has a lot of breading and it was seasoned well and super crispy, the biscuit was fluffy and the gravy was well seasoned. The onion rings were well balanced with breeding and a generous portion. The only issue is that I like fries and onion rings fresh from the fryer and I think they came from under a heat lamp. The service was the very best part! As we were still placing our order the onion rings came out to the table, they have an electronic ordering system. There was so much staff working together that everything ran smoothly and quickly. Their Happy Hour can't be beat! We each had two drinks and my cocktail definitely packed a punch at a very reasonable price. We will definitely return to enjoy more of their menu and the Malt Shop attached to the restaurant.
