There were 8 in our group and we're seated right away, on a very busy Saturday before Christmas. The atmosphere is set up so it can be fun for everyone. The service was very good, our orders were taken as we received our drinks. The food came out quickly, hot and exactly as ordered. All the food was very good, the french fries were great. I wish I had taken more pictures, but I was so impressed with my drink I forgot. Lol

A wonderful spit. Awesome patio. The server had excellent recommendations. The tuna salad, on the tuna melt was especially tasty. The shrimp tacos were very good.

A friend told me this place had the best wings around, even when faced with Brickyard and Ziggys rebuttal, so I had to try. First, atmosphere is beautiful, nice patio, and the waitress was kind and efficient. Didn't take long to get appetizers or food. The buffalo dip and pita chips were 9/10. Very good flavors. My husband's meatloaf and potatoes he said it was better then Cheesecake factory 8.5/10 Bone in special mango habenero wings 9.5/10. Meaty bone in wings, cooked well. The sauce was top tier, this should be on your menu all the time. Can't compare it to Brickyards bone in garlic parm, but liked them equally. If I could say anything, Brickyards have a little more meat. Boneless garlic parm. 😬 4/10. Originally came out dry as could be. They graciously brought some extra sauce, the second pic is adding their sauce. But goodness that sauce is gross. I swear it's the stuff they use for Marcos pizza crust. Not fresh, left a weird bitter taste. I'd never get that again, and Ziggys blows them out of the park with boneless garlic parm. However, the chicken itself was meaty, cooked well, nice crunch.
