A great spot to watch a game and eat a nice meal. The butternut squash soup was very good. My French dip sandwich was covered with too much mushroom au jus, not what I am accustomed to for a french dip. Usually the sliced steak and cheese are all that is on the sandwich and you can dip into the au jus to the degree you want. I felt like they were covering up the taste of the meat by putting so much sauce on it. The wait staff was friendly but stretched thin for the number of people to serve, so our service was a bit slow, but done with good cheer and knowledge of the menu.

Dining there with our family was a pleasant surprise. The food was really good and the atmosphere was nice. Plenty of TVs if you want to sit back and watch games etc.

The Thanksgiving brunch buffet had a good variety of both breakfast and traditional TG food. My only complaint is that the uncovered food was cold, specifically the French toast. I think I was just was a little expensive for what they offered.

My sister and I had reservations for Mother's Day Brunch. The restaurant was quiet, and the main seating area had a lot of empty tables, but we were asked to be seated elsewhere. Madison (The Manager) arranged for us to sit inside the room. with everyone else. Thank you. The food and drinks were great. I thought it was slightly overpriced, but we had a great time. Thank you!

The food selection and quality was fantastic. There were options for every type of diet. Utilizing the conference area in the back allowed for tables to be spaced farther apart, creating a quieter atmosphere. The staff came around to grab empty plates; otherwise, they left you completely alone to enjoy your meal and your family time.
