Ehhhh nothing special. If your looking for good service don't come here. This is a no frills, order at a counter, get your own condiments and drinks place. After seating my self I was told to order at the bar. It was odd but ok. So I order and kinda stood there waiting for my drinks. Then I noticed a fountain so I asked for cups to get my drink and the kid pointed at a tray with cups on it..so ok no big deal. Got my food asked for A1 the kid pointed and said..it's over there.

Wings were cool but the service or lack of just turned me off. Won't...

When we walked in I thought you had to wait to be seated but you can sit where you want. You can get a menu at your table but you order at food at the bar. Also, since I ordered soda you get that yourself at the fountain or a can/bottle in the fridge. You can also pay before you eat or after your done.

All the staff were helpful when explaining who the place works. They were all nice as well and that was a plus.

I had a Philly Cheesesteak with fries and the sandwich was huge. Great portion size there. The fries were ok. Date had a half size ribs with a baked potato and she really liked it. My friend had a burger and that did look a bit ordinary and he said it was ok.

You have to get used to how they do things, but overall for the price and what we got I'd...
