A large group of us met here, first time for most of us. I heard zero complaints about food, service from our group. Our waitress was amazing, and took great care of us. I ordered the fried fish tacos with roasted corn, they were amazing. Ingredients were fresh and crispy. My brother ordered the Tomahawk Pork Chops, he said they were superb. We will definitely return.

UPDATE: Had to update to 0 over a horrible experience, but it seems fixed, back to having our normal great service, food & experience! AMAZING! Have had their steak, prime rib, salmon, salad, pork chops & smothered chicken. Perfect each time! Great balcony, great service, ignore the negatice comments. You'd have to be quite critical to leave any other rating! Thanks Hannah & Jacob, our favorite servers!

We had an excellent dinner tonight. The service from Sophia was excellent! The smothered chicken was delicious and plentiful! My kids enjoyed their burgers and the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. We will definitely return soon!

Angela was an awesome server, we started the dinner outside so the kids could play and even though we were surrounded by big groups of baseball teams and parents we didn’t have any problems getting great service. When the sun went down and we wanted to move inside she was able to take care of everything to get us moved inside for dessert.

Stopped in for lunch during the week and enjoyed it. The food was delicious, delivered fast and the service was good. We enjoyed the shrimp tacos, four of them came out with spicy salsa. The chips were stale though. The burger was so juicy and delicious! But the fries were just okay. Looking forward to the dome opening and having some fun! What a great addition to Derby!!!

We had my wife's 50th birthday party in their reserved side room. Jessica and the entire staff were wonderful in the weeks planning leading up to the party and during the party! Everything went smooth including decorating, pre-ordered food and beverages all night! Would definitely recommend and would use for any other larger events. Thank you Jessica and the rest of your staff!

This is usually our go to restaurant for our family. Their food has always been good. Love the outdoor area and rooftop patio. It's always hard to find places that kids can play while parents enjoy a nice dinner. We usually avoid sit down restaurants because our kids are younger and it's just too much trouble to try and get them to sit still. But here they can play outside and we can relax a bit or play with them.
