He refused to serve us and used curse words include f**k just because we had IDs from out of state. We are all 25+ and have never received questioning nor denial as rude as he was towards us. I would've loved to enjoy the drinks and it seemed like a great place but the staff was simply unprofessional.

Friday night I did a little karaoke. We shared some nachos which were good. But I cannot say enough good things about the bartenders. They were some of the best bartenders I have ever ordered a drink from! So sweet and friendly! And no matter how busy they were they worked very hard to make sure we didn't wait long for a drink. The bar has a smoking section out back which is covered with tables. Or you can go out on the front lawn as there are few picnic tables there as well. In the back of the bar are pool tables and a few games. You seriously can't get bored in this place!

We ordered a shrimp burger and a super hamburger(special toppings) with an order of fries and one of the hush puppies. Order was quick and the food was hot and delicious! The hush puppies were not like others you normally get - they were long and plump! Almost like rolled tubes! They were delicious. Both sandwiches were very good and cooked just right. My burger came with slaw but it was not like any slaw I've had. Somewhat sweet but no mayonnaise! I'll be looking online for this recipe. Overall great drive in food at a good price. We will be back again this week!

The buffalo shrimp wrap had zero shrimp in half of the wrap and limited shrimp on the other side. The service was terribly slow and we were forgotten about after being seated and while waiting for drink refills. This was after waiting about 30 mins with only one party ahead of us. I will give credit where it is due- they tried to make it better by making us shrimp for the wrap but the experience was just so bad by that point the whole meal was ruined. The only time we got service at all when when my husband flagged down another server to get our server. When trying to tell the manager about the issue she was too busy tending the bar to stop and take time to listen to my husband's complaints. Yes, they gave us a free piece of pie but it was not with the over 2 hr experience for mediocre food.
