Customer Reviews
My Wife and I went here with a Couple We know. The Ribeye Steak My Friend recommended was cooked to perfection and seasoned perfectly. The Chicken Noodle Soup was very tasty and all the sides were delicious. Heard that They were moving to a better location not to far down the road. We will definitely try Em again at the new location in the future.
Stumbled in on a roadtrip and so glad we did. The best burger and wings I've had in quite some time. Upgrade to waffle fries was well worth it! And the kids meals were very good too. Finished off with Bailey's chocolate cake (dessert of the day). Outstanding meal. I would wager the best food in quite a large radius. And the staff were lovely as well.
The food was amazing! I ordered the buffalo chicken wrap & it came out really quick. Prices are bit high which deterred me from getting an appetizer. The waitress didn't ask if the three of us wanted separate check but this was an easy & quick fix. Overall the food was great, service was quick & I made it out of there with a meal plus a beer for about $25 with tip. Side note, I would recommend calling ahead if your planning on going with a group larger than four people. Seating is limited.
Second time here. Salmon, jumbo shrimp, steak medallions cooked to perfection. Service is super friendly. Margaritas were delicious. This place is spotless! Family-owned AND operated and the pride they take is tangible. Always impressed by businesses that continue to build and grow. Hats off to them! We'll be sending everyone your way.
The Inferno Burger was cooked perfectly—great flavor, tender, and done just right. The fries were spot on: hot, crispy, and exactly how they should be. Service was quick and genuinely friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Solid food, solid service. I’ll definitely be back.
