Great new place. Casual and great bar/dinner style menu. Clean.
Staff IA very friendly. The chili was very good.
Great service and atmosphere.
Does this place need to blast music late at night across the street from the apartment complex?
How do you screw up Bone in wings and get tenders. If you have a language barrier, you need to address it. Not cool. Stop hiring familey and hire actual wait staff.
I’m looking to get in touch with the owner of the establishment. I was assaulted there last night and your bartender told me to leave after I was assaulted. I did contact the police and filed a police report and had them document my assault with pictures. A random person i have never met in my life came up to me and bit me in my neck, not only once but twice. The girl was clearly on drugs and instead of your bartender protecting me, she did nothing to stop it but then kicked me out instead. I want the video footage of my assault so that i can press charges on this woman. The police have already attempted to make contact with the bar. I would like to speak to the owner. please reach out to me at My email or phone number associated with this account.
Horrible and stale food. Chicken was like eating tires off your car
Can’t pick up the phone ? When people call, so unprofessional
This place needs to reign in its regulars. They were harrassing my date and I from the moment we walked through the door, things nearly got violent. I can't even be mad at the staff for not stepping in, because they are mostly women, and they seemed scared of their own regulars. One bartender even told me, "they're not good people." I've been here many times before, I've never had a problem. But I'm not coming back again. This place needs a bouncer.
