We went on memorial day for ribs at lunch. It wasn't very busy, and the service was very good. The food was not great, but OK. The rolls were close to room room temperature and were getting hard on the bottom. The baby back ribs were less "meaty" than I was hoping for, and a little too "smokey", and the cole slaw was partially frozen (but delicious when it thawed). Still giving a 4 of 5 as we did have a good time and ate everything.

Delicious! And the service was excellent. The only minus was that they were out of shrimp.

I was just served an undercooked pork chop. I didn’t complain while there because the lights were so dim I couldn’t tell visually if it was cooked or not. I could tell the texture was off. I will be calling in the morning. I sure hope I don’t get food poisoning. ???? Overall, the food was just not that good. Bread was over cooked. Chicken tenders were overcooked. Pork chop was undercooked on the inside and over cooked on the outside. French fries didn’t even have salt on them. Also, entrees only come with one side now. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
