★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Jaxx · Oct 2025

Just to say, Ive been here a few times and enjoyed the hell out of it, but this is not what i want to see the night before a flight for a work trip, ate 3/4 of this, noticed it, went and pulled trigger in the bathroom for 15 mins. Server was great, didn’t charge for me or my girlfriends meal, but whoever dropped this molusk of chicken in the fryer should probably go be a cashier at Kipos or McDicks down the street.

Absolutely fantastic food and service. The food came out lightning quick even with the place majority full. I got the Brisket and Mozzarella sandwich and it was so good. The mozzarella sticks tasted so fresh. My server was Halle and she is fantastic. She accidentally took my fries when I had packed up my sandwich but upon telling her she brought me a to-go bag of fresh hot fries. Will absolutely be coming back here and bringing friends.

The place looks really nice inside unfortunately it was packed you have to wait over 20 minutes to sit down ended up at the bar.. We sat at the bar and ordered our food they brought 2 well presented plates but they do not know how to make specialty dinners. Fancy names on the menu but when you put it in your mouth for taste it was disappointing. We had a gift card because I would have been disappointed to have to pay all that money for food that really didn't taste good. Yeah I suggest you stick to the salads the burgers and the bar kind of food the fancy plates are not up to par. Service was fine.

Amazing salads and delicious gluten free pizza! The drinks are so fun and come in the coolest glasses. Such a great place for a quick bite with family or friends!
