For me, the location was great. I did like that. There was an on-site bar. I just wish that there were more food choices. I had the wings cause I was told that they were one of their number one items and unfortunately, they were overcooked. Overall, the staff was super amazing and very helpful while I was there. This is one of my go to places when I visit my son who attends school there. I’m sure I will be back, but I will definitely be eating elsewhere.
