Leave a ReviewOur family died in last night. The all you can eat crab legs were on point. Our server checked in so much we wanted to pull him up a chair. The kids got to eat from the big people menu last night, and the hot Italian sub was impressive. We shared a fried ice cream. Our group sat on the patio,and I see ourselves returning to dine in again. Thank you for the great experience!
See moreEven though they were having a special event they found a place for us to sit and we did have to wait a little bit but that's big and they told us we would have to wait because they were having a big event there's that evening I thought everything went wonderfully and the people were very kind and they kept apologizing for the way and they kept checking on us and that was important because you know we made the decision to stay because even though they told us it would be an extra long wait and the food was worth it it was very nice and the atmosphere is wonderful I like history and the music was going and it was just a really pleasant night

Everyone raved about the prime rib, the potatoes were delicious, the green beans were a huge hit, and even the chicken tenders were excellent.
