DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If I could rate them 0 starts, I would. This is the WORST RESTAURANT TO EVER EXIST. No exaggeration. These people must be drunk or something, I kid you not. I get a grilled chicken salad every time I come here, and I get a different salad every single time. I have ordered a grilled chicken salad everyday for 4/5 days straight, and each time, my salad was different. I NEVER get what I order. I was so frustrated with their chefs and hostesses (whoever answers the phones) because either my order isn’t correct, or it is, and the chefs COMPLETELY didn’t even read the ticket. One day I ordered it, the chunks of chicken were HUMONGOUS, barely any lettuce, one egg. The next time I ordered EXTRA chicken, and got the same exact amount of chicken the salad should come with. They always only give you one dressing and you have to order another (pay for it) and they still only give you two dressing. The next time my salad was very full of lettuce, two eggs, plenty of croutons, and about 3 dressings (the best salad I ever got from here outside of the very first one I had. The next time I went up there after ordering online and my salad was still being made after an hour. I go back again and it’s still being made…... I went back inside and it was still being made again so it took me 3 hours of waiting before the salad had to be made at my request so I had to tell the front desk girl what ingredients I had…they still ended up giving me NO DRESSING…………..,So due to this frustration, I stopped ordering for a few days. Today was the last very straw. I requested a grilled chicken salad with FETA, croutons, EXTRA CROUTONS, egg, and I asked for CEASER DRESSING. My salad came with shredded cheddar or American cheese, NO CROUTONS (when I paid for EXTRA CROUTONS) some red sweet dressing, GIGANTIC cucumber chunks and tomato chunks, and some bland bread. I will never come to this restaurant again and I suggest you go to a different starters location or a different restaurant entirely. How hard is it to make a salad??? Is it rocket science? Because this restaurant makes it seem like it is. FIRE THE WHOLE STAFF. The CHEFS SUCK. This place is absolute GARBAGE.

The atmosphere was lively but not so much that it was bothersome. It took our server about 10-15 minutes to initially come to our table and take our orders. After he made the initial contact he was on top of his game from that point forward. We ordered burgers, wings, steak, and catfish. The kids burgers are definitely kid sized which is a plus so it cuts down on waste. The garlic wings were good and so were the Buffalo wings. The fried catfish come with 2 nice sized pieces and the steak is a good size but as far as taste it was ok. The Mac and cheese and the Spanish rice were not really good tho I ordered my steak medium and it was brought to the table medium well but the manager on duty promptly offered to remedy the problem. The only issues with the server were his facial expressions, lack of smiling/happy attitude, and that we asked for the bill to be separate but he didn't separate it. Other than that it was a decent experience.
