I ordered the pork chops and my sister got the broasted chicken dinner... this way we could split. Each came with two sides so we each got a baked potato and salad. The side salad was good with the house dressing- similar to French. While my sister's baked potato was good, mine wasn't cooked through. Another sister was able to get a loaded potato which, when seeing it, those of us at our end of the table were bummed we didn't know that was an option. The pork chops were so thin, they placed pieces of toast between them to make them appear taller. They were tender but also flavorless. The broasted chicken was actually fried. The flavor was great though. My other family members enjoyed their food. And again the service was great so I'm giving it 4/5.

Frequently coming back to other tables to check if anything was needed, striking up conversation, mentioning the specials of the day (which i would've gotten if i had been offered them and hadn't heard after already ordering). We got none of that. As for the food, it's okay. Nothing to write home about for $50 dollars between a drink, an appetizer, and two mid size entrees. I'm assuming the issue is that my partner and I are both in our mid 20s and have the stereotype of not tipping, which is understandable. This dining experience we definitely did hold up the stereotype based on the complete lack of decent service. If you're anywhere below mid 30s, I'd take your money elsewhere. There's a Pizza Hut a block away that's tasty, friendly, and 1/5 of the price.
