Reviews Summary
Reviews are mixed, with many praising the attentive service and delicious, creative pizzas and wings. However, some diners have found the prices to be high and the food to be disappointing, with specific complaints about pizza quality and inconsistent service.
"The bar side was super packed with convention goers and youth athletes. I was very impressed with my server's patience with all my questions about the menu and local activities. I had a Cesar Salad, a cup of chicken tortilla soup (totally awesome, I must say), and a homemade lasagna to go. All in all I had a really great experience!!! I would recommend this restaurant to any wanting outstanding service. Enjoy and drive safely!!!"
Voodoo Trucker
"Service was excellent, but the prices and food were awful. We had high hopes to try a new place since we were from out of town and I wish we would have just gone through fast food. Prices were stupid high and the food was disgusting. Neither my husband nor I are picky at all, but frozen pizza from the grocery store is 10x better than the pizza and garlic bread we had last night. Such a disappointment."
Megan Carroll
"I wanted to try their recommended wings and they certainly disappoint!! The service was excellent, the happy hour prices a very nice bonus, the atmosphere very pleasant, and the food and drinks outstanding! I highly recommend this place! Thank you for a great experience!"
