Had an appetizer dinner to the tunes of Soul Inspiration.
The Sliders are quite good and larger than normal sliders. They are served with a plethora of fries.
The menu selection is fairly vast and there appeared to be many good choices. The Patty Melt will be my next selection.
Service was a little slow initially but more staff arrived and things got better. Drinks arrived and food was delivered hot.
There are portable heater lamps available if the night is cool.
The live entertainment is fun and the dance floor is small but was hopping. If you want to carry on a conversation, take some distance as it is quite loud.

My boyfriend and I wanted to try this place because we got handed a flyer from the 4th of July parade. Unfortunately, my boyfriend’s “medium rare” burger was raw. The bun was soggy. He said his fries were soggy and didn’t have salt.
I ordered the Alfredo. The pasta was good, but my garlic bread was burnt.
Our food was also boxed on the vent side of the box so our food leaked all over the bag.
We paid $38 bucks - not worth it.

Food was great here but service sucked. Went to see a friend play with his band. Outdoor seating was comfortableand the air was refreshing.

Place is confusing getting in and finding team members. Seems chaotic and that was early eve. Service is slow and mediocre. Food leaves much to be desired, sorry to say, meat is tough and lukewarm at best, most of the things we order lacked flavor, needed to add much dressing or sauces (we noticed other tables getting extra sauces and dressings as well). Idk, maybe it was an off day for them.
They have a nice outdoor patio and live music on weekends (might other days, not sure). Did notice signs for Trivia as well. Happy Hour M-F 3-6 pm not advertised on their website, just special printed cards at the desk.

Decided to stop on for dinner last night. Ordered a flat bread, grilled cheese, wings and a smash burger Both the wings and burger were OK but the grilled cheese was like they shoved a brick of cheese between 2 slices of bread and the flat bread came as a hunk of mozzarella with some bread somewhere underneath? The tater tots has so much salt seasoning on them they were not edible and we had to send both of them back. These should not be difficult items to make. Half the restaurant has boxes on one side so unless you go outside there is only high top dining. We wanted to give it a chance. Our server was very nice and attentive but they really need to up their food game.
