What a great atmosphere. Not crowded at all. We was able to sit down and was able to put our drinks and food in right away. Food came out fast and nice and HOT. Our waiter was really nice & was always checking on us. Tonight was great. We left before the DJ came in but at 9pm the DJ comes to setup and play.
Decided to try this place tonight after passing by it a few times. We were not disappointed. We went around 4pm so it was a little early, chose to seat ourselves in the bar area which was very nice. The waitress was great even though there were multiple other guest there she was tending to as well. The food came out quick. The meatball appetizer was decent, and we ordered the Shrimp and grits as wells as the steak and shrimp. The food was great, service was great. We will be returning.
The food was amazing. It came out in a timely manner. We ordered the steak on the stone meal. Me and my son shared this meal and was very satisfied. It was pretty cool watching your steak cook on a 700 degree stone. My fiance ordered a huge burger with egg and jalapenos. All the food was so good. The side salad was not included as a side and had an extra charge. The service, on the other hand was lacking. The server did bring our drinks but never brought our waters we asked for. He seemed irritated that he was working. The atmosphere was not the best either. We sat on the patio and it had a group of people being abnoxious and loud. No one asked them to calm down, so that was a little unsettling. There are pool tables that charge for a game of pool. That was a cool added experience. Overall, it was a very nice meal, not so much service but I would go back again.
Place was busy and everyone was having a good time. Outdoor seating had pool tables. Service was great. The food was good as well. Only thing is the parking lot is a one way, didn't know until I left. I would come back again.
