"A little dirty, it needs updated. The drinks are priced right. Nice place to get away, and its usually quiet. My family loves going there. The staff is very polite and will treat you like family. If they updated it a little, and maybe add a couple of TVs and some hot wings on Sunday football days. I would be here daily for the atmosphere."

"We signed up for our kids to get some presents for Christmas. They accepted us. We showed up and a lady told my kids they could go see santa so i told her no it's ok, we don't lie to our kids about santa. So she responded very hateful, i responded quietly and respectfully that we recognize Jesus not a false god. She then got loud and irrational, she kept calling me names and she even would look at my children and tell them she was sorry that they had me as a dad. Until my oldest cut her off and called her a name which i did correct her for and tell her there is no need to sink as low as her. Then my son told me he didn't want any presents from this horrible place. So i told the woman that we would just leave, none of us needed anything from a place that would be ok with such behavior. A few days later the lady got ahold of my wife and apologized (my wife is the one that signed up so they had her number) so my wife told her she needed to call and apologize to me and then gave her my number, she never called or texted. This is one of the rudest encounters with anyone that i have ever had to deal with. And that is saying something."
