Food was average and slow to come out. Maybe they were having an off night but, I was disappointed with the service, food, drinks, actually it just wasn't good all around. Not sure I'd go again sadly.

We have eaten here twice and had take out once. The food is good and the service was fair twice and good for the take out. The atmosphere is fun so I would suggest giving it a try.

Went here yesterday with my fiance. We shared a half rack of ribs and all I can say is WOW! The meat fell off the bone to the point of making it hard to transfer the rack of ribs onto another plate. We wanted to do this to access the mountain of really good fries that they were sitting atop. The meal itself was huge and I struggle to understand how it would be possible for one person to finish a full rack of ribs. We struggled with the half between us, although we are not huge eaters. Friendly staff and there was live music as well.
