Lunch party of four on Saturday, greeted at door and seated immediately. Our wait staff was Emily. She met us at the table and immediately brought water and took drink orders. Mixed drinks came quickly and were well done. Food also came soon after ordering. We ate steak tarta, brisket and hamburger burrito’s, and vegetarian quesadilla. All meals were delicious. The burritos were very large. We were only able to eat one half of each. Emily continued to provide friendly and attentive service through the entire meal. We were in the back room and enjoyed the entire experience.

We had 4 meals that ALL came out cold not even warm. Not only was the food not hot but everything tastes terrible except for the Tatar tots. I ordered wings, dip, cheese quesadillas, and a taco. Except for a bite or two nothing was eaten except the tots. When the waitress came by she didn’t even ask if there was a problem seeing none of the food had been eaten except for the tots. The atmosphere was cool but the music was so LOUD we could barely hear each other talk. Not a place for families! FOOD was TERRIBLE! The waitress was so unfriendly. Will not be going there again!

The atmosphere was enhanced significantly by the presence of Sadie - the hostess. She made the experience so great despite the weekend rush. The food was good but I’ll be back because of the great environment spearheaded my the hostess, Sadie. She single-handedly made my experience memorable with her unmatched customer service skills, truly a one of one.

Loved this place! My date and I had a wonderful time. Good food, good beer, and the bartender was top notch! I regret not getting her name to give her a shoutout in this review but she was amazing.

Very tasty! Somewhat pricey, but you are definitely paying for quality. The tacos are great, with some recognizable and some unique combinations on the menu.

Super yummy food!!! They are usually slammed on the weekends, so I’d recommend going on a weekday!
