HQ is HUGELY popular- I arrived yesterday, a blistering hot Wednesday, at 6:30 to find the parking lot full and almost every seat occupied. I continue to patronize because it is really fun and the crowd is younger active people.
On a recent trip we had STELLAR service from a platinum blonde young lady. She was friendly, pleasant, stopped often and was on her game. I hoped her style would be infectious, but last night's experience didn't show it. Seated at the bar it was difficult to order another drink, as the bartender wouldn't acknowledge guests until they literally flagged her down. Stony personality came with each interaction.
Food was a split decision. The burger was a bit overdone but ok, "smoked" items were bone dry and leathery. Avoid that section of the menu.
I'm glad people head here in droves. I wish the rest of the experience warranted it.
