   Probably one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a restaurant in a very long time. The staff was not very friendly at all. From the moment we walked in we felt that everyone was very rude and overwhelmed. It was 48° outside and they had the front doors open. When I told them it was freezing and if they could please close the front doors the hostess told me no they are going to keep them open. The music was so loud you couldn’t even hear yourself talk. We waited an hour for a food and it really wasn’t good at all. I will not be going back there, ever!

   3 x $24 for loaded baked potatoes that were still hard. No thank you. Couldn’t eat the outer portions because they were still hard/uncooked. The restaurant was unusually empty. Perhaps it was due to the weather, but I will not be dining here again. Food used to be satisfying.

   The food and pricing were about average for barbecue. We sat outside and it was pleasant seating with low noise.

   Our server forgot to place our appetizer orders. Slow service. Water refills were not in a timely manner. Served hot food before place settings.

   Horrible service from our server! Waited 15 minutes before being acknowledged. Food was all cold when it finally came to our table. Food was not spaced out properly. Received all our entrees first and 10 minutes later our appetizer finally came out. Server told me I should have told her I wanted my appetizer and salad first. Come on, really?????

    The service was not really ready to take a table. They told us to “sit wherever,” then never served us. We left and went elsewhere.
