Our server, Joe B, did a fabulous job dealing with our chaos as we tried to feed and manage a baby, toddler and pup. We were impressed and thankful at how quickly the food came out.
Their brown bag lunch special was a pretty good deal. We each had a burnt end sandwich—delicious. We like their BBQ sauce, but it is very much on the sweet side. The spicy sauce wasn’t very spicy. Regular and sweet potato fries were great. The broccoli/bacon side, not so much. Beans were pretty good. Our daughter’s Turkey sandwich from the kids meal looked the same as an adult size, so we helped her eat it, and it was also delicious.
The highlight of this place is the outdoor patio scene for sure. We loved it and will be back next time we pass through!
