This place was big. Multiple rooms. Beautiful bar. Outside area, inside area. The food was delicious and the service and staff were GREAT! Definitely going for Sunday Brunch and All you can eat Crab Legs Night. Will be going back often. Highly recommend.

3rd time coming here. 1st time was ok...very average food not great not horrible just ok. 2nd time was outstanding food was amazing great portions, it came out hot with a lot of flavor! Today January 8th we arrived at 6:40pm after ordering beverages the waitress informed us the waitress time for our food would be 1 1/2 hours before we would get it. We decided to stay...that was a mistake. Food came to our table 2 hours later. No problem except everything was over cooked. I GOT THE Vegas burger just like I did at my 2nd time visiting....today it was a lot smaller portions almost 1/3 smaller than the last visit it came out cold and the fries were cold as well. My wife ordered the grilled chicken skewers with twiced baked potato and caeser salad. Chicken came out cold, with no

We walked in and before we even sat down Johnny, the bartender waved and greeted us. He’s a fantastic bartender. We felt very welcome! Drinks were great! 10/10. The music was great, the vibes were even better!

As a long time Olgas food lover, I took my daughter and aunt to try Macs version. The snackers were good, but needed more of the seasoning. The Pita bread on my 3 cheese olga and my daughter's fried chicken olga was over cooked and too crunchy and the Olga sauce was very thick. Now, they were very busy so the sauce may have thickened some while sitting. Practice makes perfect Macs! My aunt really like her chicken strips but said the could use a little more seasoning. Other than that we had a nice time visiting and eating.

My brother and I come here periodically throughout the month, and we always have a great time. It's a great place to relax and have good food. Service: is always good, filled with smiles and welcoming staff Food: always good, got and fresh. We had the mozzarella sticks, and they were some of the best I've had in years. The meal I had was called the Vegas burger. I definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a good spot to relax and have good food!
