I ordered the Jameson Chicken. Instead of stuffing I received baked potatoes, and there was definitely no whiskey sauce on the very dry chicken. No waitress. Just bartender. Bartender was great and the entertainment was fun. Go for drinks , not food.

No waitress, had to order drinks at bar, ordered 1 appetizer at bar and had to pay at bar. When the waitress finally brought our well done burnt pretzel sticks we realized it was not worth our time to find someone to tell them they where rock hard. Planned on having dinner here that changed real fast. Come to find out one of the waitresses was sitting at the bar drinking. Other patrons had to walked up to her to place their orders. This is a place that needs Bar Rescue ASAP. On this Saturday night the bar was empty. Funny because when I went to pay yep at the bar the bar tender said, sorry but we got slammed tonight...lol

Food was very good. Service was very poor - we had to ask a waiter to come to our table; then, he never asked how our food was. In the end, we had to go to the bar and ask him for the check and carry-out box. They had an unexpected large party which we believe caused the service issues...as the waiter was bartending and waiting tables.

They didn’t start serving til 4 and we were there 5 minutes early so they did seat us but there was only 1 person there taking care of everything so it took over 5 minutes to get our drinks, and food probably took 20-30 minutes for a fish fry, it wasn’t busy in there yet so I wonder how bad it would be when their busy. Benches are hard and not comfortable for a long period.
