Great food but still need to get the wait time down, we waited 40 minutes for our food to come and our waitress was lousy. Try the bear claw French Toast, DELICIOUS!

That they improve their serving of the food. It seemed to take forever to get our food. However, there were people sat after us that got their food shortly after we did. And our server did not come to our table often enough. 

Business response:

Aw, shucks, you’re making us blush!
