"Food was delicious! This place was recommended by a local. They said their ribs were fantastic. They were right! Their bbq sauce tasted great too! We also had their Gunslinger Eggrolls. Delicious! Staff was very friendly. The restaurant has a little box where you can tip the chefs. We definitely did because they are cooking some great food!"

"The hotel we stayed at advertise for this restaurant and it did not disappoint. Joseph our server was very pleasant easy to talk to and gave great suggestions. I had the cheeseburger soup was tasted just like it sounds. It was delicious. My wife had pulled pork while I had a ribeye. My wife also had the ranch fries very unique and very tasty. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time from start to finish."
JEFFERY COMER
"Stopped for lunch while touring the area. I got the chef special beef n vegetable soup. The beef and the flavor was delicious. Not very many veggies. I thought the menu was limited but was happy with the soup and salad. Service was quick and friendly. Hubs got the chef salad, it was good but a bit spicy."

Samantha ordered the steak, but Chris ordered the baby back ribs since they claimed to “fall off the bone”. They were factually accurate as the meat just melted away. Highly suggest this spot for a slightly more expensive option.

The third place we stopped was at the Gold Dust Casino - Mavericks Steaks and Cocktails. They had a bayou stew and cornbread. This was good, but we liked the other dishes we had better.
