    The food was excellent. The service was a little slow, but there were a couple big parties. Our server was very good!

    The menu selections looked amazing. The actual food was so-so. Just wasn’t flavorful. We ordered appetizers, salad, entree, they all came out within 5 minutes of each other. Disappointed.

    We had the best experience. Arrived a little early and the hostess was very gracious and welcoming. We had a private dining room and excellent service. All good!

    The wait to get our food was 45 minutes even tho there were many people there. Some of the food was cold. We had to ask our wait person a few times to find out when we will get our food.

    The server was attentive, constantly checking to see if we needed anything, polite and professional. The black Reuben sauerkraut had beef brisket and was piled high and very tasty. I did not think I was going to eat the whole sandwich but I did. We went Sunday around 5:30 pm and by 6 the restaurant was packed. I would go again.

    I was very disappointed since we have eaten there several times and very good. Chicken fried chicken was not what expected, my French toast had way too much berry juice and was not cooked like I had it before too muchy, sausage was over cooked skin very hard. I know it could of been much better get a new cook maybe. For the price I expected better.
