Loved everything about our visit! We had buffalo wings and corn dawgs to start. The wings were really nice. Me, my husband and our daughter never tried corn dogs before but these were seriously outstanding! Daughter had a cheeseburger and chips which she enjoyed! Husband had chilli cheese burger and I’d the buffalo chicken burger which we both devoured! Can’t wait to return! Lovely chilled vibe even though it was a busy Halloween night. Staff were really nice and attentive too. Thank you
