Slow service. This location has open for only two weeks and is already filthy.

The server was great but very disappointing food. The burger tasted like a frozen patty and my husband’s tri tips didn’t resemble tri tips, looked like and tasted like not very good brisket.

on a Sunday they were out of chicken and chicken fried steak. the waitress didn't check on us but once. I literally had to go ask for our refills on our drinks. we were there for 1 hour. Our first and last time there. My father in law didn't like the biscuits and gravy. Where I like crispy hashbrowns...... these were freaking crunchy.

We were there for breakfast. I ordered biscuit and gravy. I could see the orders coming out and noticed one sitting there for quite sometime and, of course, it was mine. Arrived cold and sent it back. My recommendation would be as follows: Leave biscuit as is -- do not put gravy one it. Gravy should come on the side. Then I could open the biscuit and put gravy on it.

Took over an hour and food was burned! On a plus side the manager ended up comping the whole meal. Hoping they work things out and things get better. The restaurant looks amazing!

I recognize that this location just opened, but the service was terrible! Was there 2 hours, nothing we ordered came out correctly, the staff made NO effort to remedy the situation. DO NOT waste your time here!!!!

I will give this place a second chance because they just opened, but sirloin was dry, tips were dry. Both overcooked but still arrived at table cold. General manager did offer to correct issue but I chose to eat elsewhere that night. After a few weeks hopefully they will get the kinks worked out and I will be able to recommend. BTW cornbread was the best, veggies and baked potato tasted very good but not warm.
