    Lots of fun! The room and clues are well thought out, witty and fun! Staff were super friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go again!

    The room we chose was quite a challenge, but we had a blast!

    Booked the room the morning of, and was able to utilize my military discount as well. I always want to appreciate businesses that look out for the military. It may seem small but from a veteran, and a military spouse, with children who have also served alongside their parents, it matters! We were greeted by friendly staff, and met with patience when a couple of our children got anxious during the detailed explanation before starting. We even had a kid try to creatively open a box. The screen with our tips was also useful to tell us what not to do thy wasn't covered in the orientation. I liked the television clues, the sounds to alert you when info was coming in (although after a while it got a little annoying), and the fun signs we got to pick from at the end. Would DEFINITELY recommend this business. Family friendly and lots of fun!

    I went for Father's Day and had a great time with my family. The room was very crafty and the staff was resourceful and helpful. It was $25 per person for the hour and you get your money's worth. We didn't win but we definitely had a great time.

    We have probably done about 10 escape rooms at this location and we've always had a great time - the clues do lead you do in a logical way to find the next clue. This makes these rooms particularly fun - the staff is amazing - we always look forward to see them. Reasonably priced and a great way to do something different and have fun.

    This was our first time doing an escape room and we had an absolute blast! The ladies working here are so great and very laid back and helpful. Get there a few minutes early to go over directions if you haven't been before. You have an hour to figure out all the clues. Work as a team! That's a huge must. Don't overthink it and, as one of the employees said, say everything out loud! No one can read your mind and it makes it harder to solve the puzzles if you don't communicate. We will definitely be going back again asap!

    The games are designed quite well for fun more so than to be a mystery to be solved. It makes for an entertaining team-building event.

Games to play indoors like darts and axe throwing. We came here to eat, did not participate in any games. Several TVs to watch a game and they will change the channel if requested. If you plan on ordering alcohol, you need to show your id at the front before being seated then they give you a wrist band. The beer wall is self serve with numerous choices. You have to provide a credit card then you swipe a beer card for every pour which charges you by the ounce. Staff is super friendly and accommodating. Numerous people will check on you. The food was decent. Sandwiches are big and messy. Highly recommend the sweet potato fries which are crinkle cut. I ordered a French 75 cocktail, a simple classic - it was NOT good. It lacked bubbles and was missing the classic lemon twist. They need training from an experienced mixologist. Bathroom was big and nice but very dark in the stalls.

Upon arrival where it was quite evident you had to know someone to understand who and where to check in with. Once we checked in and had the rules explained to us, we drew our guns and paintballs. Nothing fancy and definitely not high powered, so I expected a fair game. We were divided up into 2 teams for the first round, roughly 10 people per team. That is manageable. First round went fine. Had a few speed ballers playing, but overall fair match and play. Went Round 2 in the woods and was expecting more of the same, but this time we ended up with teams of 14-16 on each side. Way too many and totally unmanageable by 1 referee. Towards the end of this match, I was hit in the back by a speedball shooter, so I got up to exit (holding my gun up and saying "I'm out"), nope to get peppered on my front by 4-6 more shots. I yell out that I'm already out, but the speed ballers keep shooting. In my anger, I popped one in the leg on my way out, and he peppered my back with between 25 and 30 rounds. Leaving welts and bruises across my entire back. When I pointed it out to the ref, he did nothing. I reported it to the manager, but got nothing really from him. I didn't ask that the guy get removed, which I probably should have done and I do understand that I shouldn't have shot the guy on my way past, but his response was totally uncalled for. And the reaction of all the staffers leads me to believe that they condone this behavior. So for those who are looking for paintball in this area, look somewhere else. I would say to read each of the negative reviews and take it at face value. I probably wouldn't have even reviewed them except for the poor behavior by the players, and I certainly wouldn't have booked with them if I'd have checked Yelp first. For the person who said this place wouldn't get another $ from him, I echo that comment and strongly discourage folks from going there if it is your first time or you are a novice at the sport.

For food we had wings and pizza. It was surprisingly good! lol I liked the wings. There is a little food counter you can order food from and puck it up. There are seats and tables all around. Overall, they seem to cover everything for a gathering/party/big groups. My only issue is the people that are to greet you in front when you walk in. If it's your first time, you should be provided with all the info and be directed, but they were too quiet and didn't provide any info. We almost bought an unneeded wristband because we weren't provided with the basic information needed. ask those that come in if it's their first time and then guide them.

The choices that seem to have gone into the reuse of materials and the decorating style get 5 stars from me. The two staff members we interacted with couldn't have been any nicer or more attentive. From the first greeting to saying goodbye, they were great. The plate presentation was unusual, but very attractive. All of that said, this is still a restaurant. I had a Brisket Burger. The burger itself on the pretzel roll was ok, but the Brisket..... I have lived in Texas all of my life. I have had Brisket from some truly talented pit masters, and I always judge it by the tenderness, smoke ring, and bark. This was mushy and wet (not moist, more like it was boiled?) and very pale with little taste. If this did start as Brisket, then what was done to it is borderline criminal. Overheard another customer talking to the owner (I believe), commenting on the unusual choice of cornbread waffles with the Chicken Fried Chicken, and her response was that she was from "up North", and didn't understand "Texas Toast" served down here. Maybe that is the issue. When you hear a name like "Let's Eat Texas" you are expecting food cooked a certain way, with a certain taste. Maybe they should rename it "Let's Eat New Jersey", at least then you would know what you were getting into.
