Coming from working in the Restaurant industry, this was a pretty poor experience. Came in the tables were we were sat were dirty, the lady that greeted really tried her best, but she certainly seemed very overwhelmed. She had 3 tables including us, was struggling to hand out the drinks, food and utensils. My girlfriend and I shared one fork to eat all the meals. It took about 10 min to be greeted, 10 min to get our drinks and then receive one set of utensils.

What needs to change: the atmosphere. Poor decor, needs a bit...
Read moreAfter my car was broken into in the parking lot of my gym on a Sunday, I noticed multiple unauthorized charges from this restaurant on both my credit and debit cards, including charges of $500 and $382.87. These transactions were listed as in-person purchases, despite the fact that I live in New Jersey and the restaurant is located in Virginia. This is extremely alarming.
Upon reading other reviews, it’s clear that I’m not the only one who has experienced similar issues in the past two months. I strongly urge anyone considering this establishment to proceed with caution.
What’s even more concerning is that the restaurant has not responded to any of the reviews regarding these...
