Ordered 5 burgers with fries and onion rings to go and got home and the Burgers were so done they were crunchy. The onion rings were overcooked and tasted burnt. Called and told them about the food and they said we had to bring it back in for them to remake it. By this point it’s closing time on Sunday. Asked for a credit and they said no. Will never go back.

We arrived after 2. We ordered BQ and a few fried items. We waited nearly 30 minutes for our food. The burnt ends were dry, tough and drowned in BBQ sauce. The Mac and cheese, cheese tasted very fake. The slaw was good. We have been searching for traditional burnt ends. The search continues.

After that, there was n

We found upon entering the establishment that you order at the register. Make your drinks and find a seat. We found it to be clean and comfortable. The workers were polite and mostly helpful. The fries were good as was the fried mushrooms. We had the chopped Brisket sandwich (no onions, etc), we found to be mediocre in taste and a little greasy. We also had mashed potatoes and gravy which wasn't warm but the taste was good. The facility was clean and comfortable.

Called in an order for carry out. For as much money as we paid for 5 people the food should have been better. Every single patty on each burger was literally so overcooked it burnt.
