Tried to go there on 7/23/23 about 1:45. We waited by the door for about 5 minutes and no one even acknowledged that we were there. Even a simple “we’ll be right with you” would have been acceptable. But the employees just ignored the fact that we were there. There was no one behind the bar or a hostess at the door. We may try to go there again, but definitely not excited about going back.

went in there, it was not busy, we were told to sit wherever by the bartender looking around the table for a menu and there wasn’t any so we just pull up the menu on google, it took 5 minutes for the waitress to then greet us and grab us a menu,(if you don’t have a hostess at least leave menus out on the table, instead of us waiting forever for one ) we ordered our drinks and we were still waiting on 2 sodas for 10 minutes, with still no sodas we decided after 12 minutes to just walk out. we even had a gift card so dinner would’ve been free, but was not worth the wait. all the workers were too focused on splitting tips and talking that we were being ignored. looks like we will regift our gift card.

Ordered dinner last night through Door Dash. My daughter ordered the lobster sliders and I ordered the marinated steak tidbits. The food was cold when it arrived and I live exactly 1.5 miles from the restaurant. My steak tidbits were drowning in so much marinade that you couldn’t eat them. It was as if I was drinking marinade from the bottle. They were disgusting. And if I had 5 tidbits that were a decent size, that was a lot. Most of it was tiny little pieces that were soaked in the marinade. I will never order from there again.

Great brunch spot with friendly staff and fast service. Idiot’s platter gives you the taste of everything including the amazing pancakes. Food so good, you will be coming back over and over again.

I’m giving 5 stars because the food was excellent and our server (bearded guy in his mid 20’s) was friendly and accommodating. Overall we loved it…but I feel the need to mention that the 2 female bartenders were both kind of rude. Both seemed annoyed when I approached the bar (twice) with my quick draw tickets. I actually got an eye roll from one of them because she was texting when I came up. Everything else was great though.
