Oh my this place was busy for a Monday night. I got a sweet and spicy burger with gator chips. I asked for the same sauce in the side and dipped my chips. The pic is how much was left. That was a great burger.

There was no wait at all which was wonderful! They seemed to have a lot of staff working and our waitress was very nice. Our food, however, left a lot to be desired. We ordered a pretzel appetizer which came out burnt. They advised us that they deep fried it which is why it looks that way. It was too hard and we sent it back. My wings were incredibly small for the price and were also overcooked. Had I known they would be that small and that overcooked, I would have ordered something else. My boyfriend got a blue cheese burger which had a great flavor but was cooked well done. He asked for it to be medium. We had movie reservations otherwise we would have asked for them to be remade, but we did not have time to wait on more food. I know the food has been good when I have gone before, and perhaps maybe this was an off night for the kitchen, but I am going to have a hard time convincing my boyfriend to try it again in the future.

Overall I found the food mediocre, the staff was nice. Our servers section was sprawled out to far. I wouldn't go back. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes Takeout: Yes … More
