If there was a negative star this place would receive the award for worst service in America. I cannot even think where to start. Reservation at 7 for 7 folks we arrived at 6:30 early enough, so we were seated in the long table between the bar and staff kitchen door HUGE mistake. Waited over 15 mins for server to come take drink order she was more worried about how many breads we would need, mind you it was 92degrees and we were all super thirsty. Drinks arrived about 7:10 she disappeared for another 15 mins. We had to wave her down to take our order, I got sidetracked and just said cheeseburger, not rare, medium or well so note this later, most everyone at our table got a steak, little man got kids ribs. No refills ever, I had to beg halfway through the meal.

Half our table got food, the other food 10 mins later. We had to shout the entire time the music was way too loud. Food arrived at 7:50. Burger was bloody red and dripping so under grilled it walking off my plate. I never ever send a burger back but this time I did, came back a new patty, it was like they held it over the flame on purpose and the cheese had melted no scratch that it had disintegrated into patty The Cesar salad was messed up, not Cesar dressing at all. The kids ribs had so much sauce rubbed all over it poor thing had to take a napkin and wipe them down. Took us 35 mins to get the bill and pay at this point we should have all just walked out. The server needs to go work in a nursing home, you know a job to match your energy. 3 of us went outside to wait while others were getting check and again the music was so loud we had to yell and the little plugged his ears. Even others were commenting on this, I should have told them to roll on but by this time I was exhausted from trying to eat microwave french fries they reheated from sending back the plate, I took one bite of the burger. They should offer IV fluids when leaving I think I was border line dehydrated. We stopped at Chick-fil-a on the way home, thank goodness for the LORD's chicken and sweet tea or I would have starved to death.

For anyone who has kept reading thank you and let us sum this up for you.

Eat in main dining room, not a corner Start with ordering a drink and water for back Look at menu while you wait and place your order with drinks. Let them know you would like your drinks first before appetizer, salad and bread arrive Do not bring family or friends with you as you will not be able to hear anything they say, or take a quick lip reading lesson on youtube for your entire party before entering the dining area. Throw the extra fork on the ground, the salad isn't worth using it anyways. You could also for an additional cup and pour half your soda in there and then mix with water so you now have two drink kinds like when grandma would decide up the soda between all the kids to make it stretch

Thats all...

Today we went there as a family of 5! Our server tried her hardest as she was the hostess as well as our server. The bartender was terrible. She claimed to measure out drinks but she did not. Our first drink wasn’t bad so we watched her make the second one. She put a small amount of liquor and then a bunch of other things. I went up to the bar (in front of Teresa the manager) and told her that there was not enough alcohol in the drinks. The manager told me that drinks are measured out and I told her that I understood this but the bartender was not doing this at all. The bartender said she would take care of us and she did not add any extra. The liquor barely covered the bottom of the glass. The manager, Teresa had her remake it and told me she was going to measure it. We watched her again and the bartender didn’t measure it again. We are not one to complain but we would like to get what we paid for. She did the same with my husband’s drink so he just got a beer refusing to pay for a drink without the proper amount of alcohol in it. The manager was very argumentative still stating the opposite of what was happening in front of our own eyes. We let it go and waited forever for our food. My husband’s food came out wrong. I ordered extra sauce for my salmon and he got it all over his chicken. Our server was not the issue. Other staff failed to help her in addition to the manager that you could tell did not feel like she had any authority to fix the issue. We were not offered a discount or any comp. We told her that we thought it was important to make a review and then she had a complete attitude change but still nothing to fix...
