New to the area and my wife’s birthday I chose to come here and it was the best decision!!! Food was amazing, big portions and the drinks were ice cold and mixed really well! Bigger shout out to Shawn! He made the experience perfect! His knowledge of the menu and his preferred choices is what we went with and I’m glad we did! The rodeo burger was amazing and the boom boom shrimp wrap was a 10 out of 10! Thank you Shawn for making our experience A1. We will be coming back and hoping to see you there!
We ordered a small sausage and mushroom thin-crust pizza, expecting some crispness. Unfortunately, the crust was the biggest letdown — very soggy, with no crunch at all. Their “thin crust” was closer to a medium or even thick crust. On the plus side, the toppings were plentiful and had good flavor. We also tried their Mom’s fried chicken, which came out very dry, overcooked, and lacking in flavor. We were hoping for a homemade-style chicken, but it clearly missed the mark. Our side was spaghetti, which was supposed to include meatballs, but none were served. The pasta itself was cooked well, and the sauce had good flavor — easily the highlight of the meal. In short, we weren’t extremely disappointed, but we did leave somewhat underwhelmed. There were some bright spots, but overall, the fo
Had dinner. Great food. Reasonable price. Meatball appetizer was outstanding. Fried chicken good but had better. Small pieces were dried out, they need to cook them at different times than the breast and thigh. Lasagna was outstanding.
Phenomenal food fish fry and apps were great. Aside from the great food the atmosphere was amazing. Great place for family night as well. The grinch was walking and around and my kids loved it. They were a little unsettled and hyper active, but once the grinch came out they were so focused on them and they were so excited. Truly a great experience. If you want good food and a great experience this is the spot. Keep up the great work we WILL be back for more.
It was my first time there they were really nice. The food was really really good. I got the side salad and the lasagna with nice warm Italian bread.. Lasagna was very good like homemade style. The side salad was very large and had a Nice mixture of cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, carrots, and fresh lettuce. The ranch has to be homemade.
