First the good - bourbon buffalo cauliflower bites were amazing, as were the Brussels sprouts. Hot dog specials were decent, and exactly what I wanted. Unfortunately, my wife's Korean steak frites was a miss. It was absolutely drowning in ginger as to be inedible. The steak was salvageable by removing the sauce, but the frites were a lost cause. Provided feedback and was given a $5 credit on our bill. I've had the steak before and it was never like this, hoping it was an anomaly.
