Moya, the host, was incredibly sweet and so apologetic about the wait for a table--which honestly flew by because you could tell how well the place was being run. Once we sat down, our server Luke took amazing care of us. He was personable, attentive, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and fun. The food... WOW. Truly phenomenal. I had the Nashville wrap and my brother had the meatloaf. Everything was cooked perfectly. The mashed potatoes and green beans that came with it were just as delicious--comfort food done right. What really stood out was how much the team cared--Kelly, the GM, even came by to check in and make sure everything was perfect, which says so much about the level of service here. Despite how busy it was, service never skipped a beat. That's rare. Also, the patio is such a vibe! I already can't wait to come back in the summer and hang out there. If you're anywhere near New Lenox, this place is a must-visit. Amazing food, incredible staff, and such a great atmosphere. This place is really something special!

A lot of them don't even need any help from alcohol. They're just naturally annoying to be honest. Coming in here the first time it had a crowd. It's more than the staff can handle. This is a place to expect to wait to be greeted, wait to place an order, wait to finally get food, wait to get the check, and wait to get card or change back and then can't wait to get the fuck out. Chaotic. It's about $6 for whiskey. Has a crap ton to choose from. There's food but it's nothing good really. It's about $10 for appetizers such as the Pretzel Bites. Unique take on it as instead of being made from frozen pellet things, this instead was like a torn up pretzel in pieces. Most of the rest of the menu is meaty. They have BLT, Italian beef, and others. Great place for watching sports if there's also a contest for who can be loudest. It's located in the plaza with a few other things but most of the cars are of people in here it seems. This place is chaos at all times.

Phenomenal wings and perfectly mixed cocktails. Makes a Tuesday feel like a Sunday evenin'.......

Pretty much everyone enjoyed the food. The only downside I heard was the tempura jumbo shrimp tacos only had 1 shrimp per taco...granted these were the small tortilla tacos but looking at it I would have put 2 shrimp on each (and I heard from the team later it should have been 2 shrimp per taco, just a mistake having only 1 each as it was a new item at the time). The staff they had manning the truck were all very friendly and upbeat as well.

My two complaints for this past visit would be that my martini really pretty much sucked.... super sweet, tasted like Kool-aid and no taste of booze and the red velvet cake that i ordered was, in my opionion, should have been thrown out. It actually tasted more like rasberry cake instead of red velvet but it was very stale. I took two bites and tossed the rest. However, I won't let that deter me from coming again.

Each bite brought more slop. Told my guest I needed a squeegee to remove oil from hands. It was to the point of seeming like someone was being purposely ignorant behind counter with pouring oil on sandwiches. Order took 10 minutes after order was placed. Girls had no clue how to use register. Fries were good, onion rings over cooked by far shake was very good with ZERO taste of strawberry. Must be a single pump of fake syrup used.

We came here two weeks ago at the request of my friend for lunch. My friend told me at first that they have all kinds of food and that is great. I was not impressed with their reviews and I did not have much desire but I was shocked after coming here and taking their services. Their reception was incredible and friendly, it would be nice for us to have a table where they helped us. I was more surprised to see their decoration, very neat and clean. I don't want to say too much about their food because each of their food was so delicious and fun, the taste of the food still sticks to my tongue. Already I have shared with my wife and she has been very interested in dinner. Hope to see you again soon. read more
