Pros: If I must name one, its the sweet potato fries.
Cons: Everything but the sweet potato fries.

After hearing the hype and all the talk about this place I was greatly disappointed with the food and the service.

I tried the buffalo burger with sweet potato fries on the side. The burger was bland and substandard. Before you say, well buffalo is tasteless meat anyways, let me assure you that when cooked properly with the right spices it can make an excellent burger. Ketchup, hot sauce, and garlic sauce could not revive this tasteless burger. It was a challenge just to try and swallow it. The sweet potato fries were good and it was the first time I had ever tired them. I would order those fries again... perhaps at another restaurant!

On the evening of my visit the restaurant was very busy. The tables are packed in very closely leaving little room to breath. This combined with alcohol makes for a loud and obnoxious crowd. The atmosphere was definitely less than pleasant. The service was severely lacking. It was painfully slow to get seated, followed by a length wait to have our orders taken, followed by yet another long wait to actually receive the food. I still wonder why I waited almost 45 minutes to be seated because during that time there was always seating available... but no one cleaned off the tables. Finally, after being seated our order was taken relatively quickly (compared with the wait time to be seated). The wait time for the food was a bit long but nothing to complain about.

After we were served we did not see the waitress again. When we needed something we had to pull the waitress over which was not an easy task because they were pre occupied with other tables. Even after we were done I was wondering if the meal was free because the waitress did not seem to concerned about brining the check over!
