    Took two hours from start to finish with dinner. Yes it was busy but guests were seated after us and leaving before us. The wait was unacceptable and very small portions for a family of four.

    Great food, great service and good atmosphere. We always do the Family Dinner and the sides, salads and chicken are amazing. Year in and year out for decades, it’s one of our families favorite.

    We had the best waitress we have ever had in all the years we have gone. Her name was Autumn. She was very attentive to our family. Our grandchildren even made a comment on her. Enjoyed the whole experience.
