    Food was amazing. Service was fair. The noise level was so loud we couldn’t even hear each other across the table.

    Food came out super fast. So Yanno it’s pre-prepped. Didn’t realize that. Ribs weren’t hit for coming out so fast. Which normally is a good thing. In this case, it’s probably just warmed up, pre-cooked food. Burger was decent. Fries was the best thing. Wings were okay. Lemon garlic but had some kind of red sauce on top which threw off the desired flavor as it was spicy.

    The food was good but it came out wrong. But we’re not the type to complain and send it back. The appetizer came out with the food too which was unpleasant. The food also took forever. It was very good though. We will probably try it again maybe we’ll have a better experience next time. The cheese curds were so good but it came with very little which was disappointing. The brisket potato was excellent.
