    Dry over cooked ribs that I  needed to bring back within 30 days per Jess the Mgr to receive replacement

    First I would like to say my visit on 9.12.26 was terrible. I ordered online but did not look at my order which was a full slab of ribs that I could not eat. I called and tt the Mgr Jess.. the customer svc was terrible she informed that I could come back within 30 days to get a replacement but I needed to bring the meal (hold the meal for 30 days of needed. I told her I took Pics and could send them she said to still bring the meal back which meant I would have to burn my gas and be inconvenienced she had an i don't care attitude...I order all the time and have never complained. She made me feel as if I wanted a free meal. I brought the meal back the next day smh and the Mgr ROBERT was very pleasant and made up for the terrible customer service the day before thanks to Jess. That is why I gave 5 stars....THANK YOU ROBERT!! Robert was very polite and his customer service skills as a manager was top tier. I can not say the same for Jess very rude​

    Love the fried chicken and the back ribs. The service is a little slow. But the ambience is good.

    The food... good. The service... also good. We ordered the brisket egg rolls. Yum. And the feast for two. My absolute fave was the cornbread muffin. Their chicken was delicious as well. They do have a lot for parking.

    No juice all spilled out in bag   Muffin cracked in bottom of bag

    Service was awful and the "sleepy" cashier gave me the wrong order!!!!! I said a full rack of Baby back ribs which in no way sounds like Memphis style!! The young guy at the counter did not greet me when I said hello which should have been an automatic red flag for me. I mentioned it to the manager who said oh he is new but very quiet?????? Then would you put him in the carry out category!!! Not quite enough just poor service!!!! Ugh I will never go to that location again!!! Calling the location now!!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh stay clear of this location!!!!!!!

    Hey guys, just a heads up -- you've got ANTS! Please make sure to check the seating area before patrons are seated. Definitely not what I expected on my rest day visit. BUT -- shoutout to my server, Heaven, who was AMAZING! She quickly moved me, got my food and MARG right -- everything was A1. Great food and drinks overall!

It has been a bit now since I visited and sadly was disappointed in my experience. I called ahead to order so pick up would be easier. The staff member was having a difficult time understanding me but we got my order in and everything seemed clear! When we went to pick up our food, we noticed the inside wasn't super clean and they had fans on in both eating areas. The woman at the register helped a couple of others before calling me up so I could pay for our order. There was no confirmation of items just my name. When our food was ready, they were missing the small french fry. She immediately got defensive saying she didn't charge me for it and I could pay still. Another staff from the back came out and also chimed in. I was happy to pay for the fry but everything is made to order so we had to wait a bit. The food here is very good. The wings weren't as crispy as normal but that could have been from the wait. Overall, there could be some service improvements made and better communication among staff.

The atmosphere is dimly lit (which I love), clean, lots of wood and leather everywhere. It's spacious but also cozy. On to the food.. my favorites have been the butterfish and the trout. This last time I got a pesto gnocchi with shrimp. The shrimp was really good right off the grill as were the gnocchi but it was kind of swimming in an oily sauce. I expected it to either be creamy or lightly coated pasta, instead of a pool of pesto and oil. The sauce didn't really stay on to the gnocchi because it was so thin. I used my extra pita bread to sop it up. The artichoke with hummus appetizer is also tasty. My friend got the lamb shank (chops?) and she also enjoyed her meal. The espresso martini was good but it had like a chunky shaved chocolate or something on the rim which was unnecessary and made it kind of hard to drink. We haven't tried any desserts yet but they look amazing. It was about $150 for 2 cocktails, 2 glasses of wine, 2 entrees, and 1 appetizer. I couldn't afford this regularly but it's a nice treat every now and then.

VERY spacious, and you wouldn't think that from looking at the building in the parking lot. I will say this OFF TOP, I will be back. This place appears to have lots to offer, and I want in on the good stuff. They have party rooms, a massive bar and plenty of seating for friends, foes and the family. Adorable decor, but also simple. Its a bar/pub friends! Let's get to the sips and bites shall we! I ordered a cranberry and vodka. When it came, it was dang near clear, so I knew that would be my only sip for the evening and some water. lol We ordered starters/apps: Chicken Wings and Cheese Curds. Simple, tasty, hot and the service was SWIFT BABY SWIFT! Entree: I ordered Fish tacos. I had my fingers and toes crossed hoping they were going to be amazing. No sir, no ma'am. Flavorless. They looked great though. I ate half of one and gave to my sib for take home bites. I blame me, I should have ordered something safe, like a burger or something easy peasy. Sis ordered a Patty Melt with fries. Looked good, she stated it tasted amazing. Winner, winner, burger dinner! Bro order a couple things: Chicken Tenders and fries and a Quesadilla. He stated his items were delicious. We sat, ate, sipped and enjoyed the space. I would absolutely recommend this establishment for friend/family gatherings, or popping in for sips and wings. They have an assortment of homemade sips and eats, and their menu is pretty large. If anything, I will be back to try more options of things. Simple grub! Great location and friendly staff! As always, you don't have to take my word for it, go get you some!

From the dark wood features to old school menu items, the environment strongly suggests an unassuming hideaway for the wealthy. Whether you want a family meal or a bustling environment all depends on if you sit at the bar or dining room.
