    Drag brunch was fun. The food was surprisingly good. I had the chilaquiles and the fried green tomatoes. Both great.

    This is an extremely fun place to go for a Sunday drag brunch. The food and drinks were delicious, and the entertainment was fun, just simply fun and with the music, I wanted to get up and dance with the ladies. The people who work there are friendly and relaxed. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

    We had a great brunch at The Country Club! The food was incredible and the servers, all staff honestly, were kind and welcoming! I recommend making a reservation and planning ahead for parking, some street parking available but we took a rideshare there! The show was so much fun and interactive!

    We went for the Thanksgiving menu on Thanksgiving Day. After some discussion with my server, I went with the turkey dinner. The food was excellent. The turkey itself was some of the best seasoned and cooked turkey I think I've ever had. The traditional sides of a creamy sweet potato mash and dressing/stuffing were both excellent as well. Our server was charming and attentive. She was knowledgeable and genuinely excited about what the chef and kitchen were doing. I absolutely will be back to try their more normal menus.
