    This was our first time going to Four Pegs and we really enjoyed our meal and the service from the staff. We will certainly be back for future visits. I had the Texas twinkie, which was awesome, and my wife had the brisket which was really tender. My only "complaint" would be that the staff working the front podium and handling seating, did not really know about the OpenTable reservations and how to verify them. Luckily they had a table open and we were able to seated at our reservation time, but it was a little unnerving that they seemed to have no idea about it. We did get our points and such, so it all worked out, but I would make sure the staff knows how to handle the OpenTable reservations in the future. We learned of the location via OpenTable, so we were surprised when they were unsure what to do.

    The food was good, I think it could be a bit more seasoned. The old fashioned was to die for! My waiter “D” was pleasant and so welcoming. He helped me navigate the menu as I’m from out of town. I appreciate the hospitality and I was happy to super the restaurant.
