First time at this location and had a great experience. The wait staff and manager were friendly and attentive. Great decor creating an inviting environment to dine and have a cozy experience too. P.S. the ladies room is nice! Tried a new dish, pork loin with Thai chili sauce. Some of the best mashed potatoes you’ll get. The bread was very fresh. The sweet tea (free refills) was solid; brewed well and not extremely sweet. The pork loin was cooked medium to perfection. Seasoned well and tender enough to cut with a plastic spoon. I will definitely get this dish again and again! The cheesesteak got good reviews too.
It was amazing 👏 it was the choice of my boss. 5 🌟 The company takes all employees out to eat during the holidays. The boss is the one that decides where to take us company pays, you say yes, with your + 1. Started with Spice Pineapple Margaritas 🍍 the best thank god it had alcohol 5 🌟 to the bartender. Appetizer Sushi Rainbow Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll good. Entrée Barbecue Baby Back Ribs bake potatoes and coleslaw was delicious it fell from the bone with that amazing sauce. My daughter had the Nashville hot chicken sadwich with Mac and cheese spicy if you like the heat she loved it. For the best part dessert lemon key pie for me and my daughter picked pumpkin cheesecake 😋. Staff nice, friendly, at first the group was divided but the waitress joined the table really fast since we had reservation. I will go back again definitely!!!
At first I was going to be harsh because of wait time and the menu prices but call I can say is wow it was worth it. Service was close to perfect as it can get despite it being very crowded. Parking was very rough but what else can you expect by Crabtree Valley on a Saturday. I had ordered the barbecue ribs with a loaded baked potato and macaroni and cheese. The cow or pig they killed the ribs for is in heaven smiling knowing the justice they did them. The sauce complimented the ribs well a nice subtle sweetness w a the perfect smokiness. The mac and cheese had a breadcrumb topping which im always skeptical about but the mac and cheese no exaggeration probably was a top 5 mac I ever had. The way the cheese sauce just hugged and caressed around the noodle was unlike any other. I dont know the exact cheese but it tasted like a gruyère and gouda blend maybe had some béchamel I do not know all I know was that the breadcrumbs, the cheese, and the sauce combined to make the perfect harmony. The loaded baked potato was just a loaded baked potato but on steroids. The loaded baked potato alone might make you full. The star of the show was the dessert… to anyone that’s reading this GET THE CARROT CAKE… I’m not giving a review on that just get it ASAP. Overall based on my experience I would say this restaurant is well worth the wait and you get your bang for your buck with top notch service. I would highly recommend. Also it comes with hot towels to clean your hands and the bathrooms are very clean.
Great atmosphere for a dinner with the wife. Staff was great making sure we are comfortable and have everything we need. Menu had a good selection and the daily specials won the night. The fried calamari was perfect, tender with a light breading. We then moved to our main course of steak and shrimp. Both were outstanding. Just wished we had room for dessert. It looked amazing.
I came here for lunch on a Friday and I love this place! They can literally take all my money! I don't care about the price, everything I ate was spectacular. Easy parking, nice atmosphere, quick service. Now let's talk about my waitress Shaquana, she is perfect. You better treat her very nicely and give her a raise! Two others ladies came and delivered food and they were also very pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant. Great food, great service, simple as that. Unfortunately for me, it's not that close, but I'll still be back!
