   Would not go back. Terrible food quality. Burger was raw despite ordering it to be cooked well done. Cheesesteak was terrible. Not much meat and tons of cheese whiz. Even the ginger ale tasted wrong. How do you mess that up? Could never find the waitress but at least they had a lot of tvs so we could watch the March madness games. That was the only highlight.

   The food was very bland, no flavor. They were out of almost everything on the menu.

   Bar is nice. Great setup if you want to watch the games. If you’re going here for anything more than a drink and to watch a game I’d pass. Food was cold and dry. Southwest bowl was dry, had maybe 8 beans, 2 tiny pieces of cabbage, and over cooked chicken. We ordered a side of fries - they gave us crab fries - which we didn’t order and don’t like - then as the other meals came out we received plain fries. We questioned why the crab fries and were told they’d be taken Off the bill - they weren’t. The chicken tenders were over cooked, the grilled chicken sandwich was dry and fatty. We ordered nachos - they put chicken on them without us asking - up charged us and we had a vegetarian at the table who then couldn’t eaten them. Service was slow other than to refill our water and 2 meals didn’t even come out until others at our table were near finished. The bill was $200+. Not worth it. Such a disappointment.

   If you're going to an event at the PPL Center, this is one of the only restaurants in walking distance that was open on a Saturday night. Because of that, this place is busy. When we arrived, our reservation was nowhere to be found. The hostess found us a table, where we then waited 20 minutes for someone to come to our table to greet us/ grab drink orders. Once we finally had a server the experience was fine, but it was clear they didn't have enough people working for the dinner crowd. Steak and Cheese egg rolls and the Orange Crush were good.

   Hi, yes, we were extremely busy on Saturday. As you observed, and you were correct. We were understaffed that night, We had 2 servers call out for 2 unrelated reasons. I apologize it took so long for you to be greeted. We are looking into additional support team members to assist during those high-volume occasions. As of now, we do not have bussers or food runners. Which leaves only the servers themselves or management to fulfill our guests needs. I do apologize for the mix up upon your arrival...please know that our staff was trying very hard that night to take care of everyone the best they could. We definitely hope to have you back in the future with a much improved dining experience at hand!

   The staff was very accommodating in making sure we were able to secure a reservation despite the fact that it was extremely busy. We sat at the bar and, given the amount of people, service was very good. The food was above average bar food. Prices were very reasonable. My only complaint was the noise level.

   Very crowded and noisy but still a good place to go before a concert.

   Group of 6 of us, appetizers were burnt. Food was all well done. Told the waitress. She did nothing just took the food. Very disappointed.

   Service was awful. Ended up leaving after waiting 10 minutes for a glass of water to arrive. The restaurant had plenty of staff walking around yet our server was no where to be found.
