| - Please read the whole review. It starts differently than it ends. We (four adults and a baby) arrived at the restaurant just before 5:00PM. We were told the wait would be 45 minutes (even thought there were SEVERAL empty tables, we were told those tables were for those who had reservations). We felt the wait was doable. They use texting to inform you of when the table is ready. The text I received stating I was on the wait list was posted at 5:01PM. Well, we waited, and waited. In the meantime, the empty tables filled slowly, our fault, we did not have a reservation. We were finally seated at 6:17PM. Again, our fault for not having a reservation, but staff should have had a better take on the wait, 45 minutes that turned into 76 minutes is quite a difference, especially with a baby. Once seated our whole experience there changed. Our server was on us immediately, acknowledged the fact we waited a long time, and was aware the baby had waited quite a while, as well. He arranged for the baby to get some milk and a few dishes quickly, which caused a near cranky kid to be quite calm. We ordered appetizers, which also came quickly. The Burnt Ends and Nachos, recommended by our server, were very tasty. The main meals included pork ribs, a shrimp plate and fried chicken were all well received. I was the one ordering the fried chicken, which I enjoyed but was a little different. I stole a couple of my daughter's pork ribs and they were moist, tender and seasoned very nicely. Too often rib restaurants make their name with bold flavors. With these ribs it was nice to actually taste the meat. The baby (26 months old) loved his mac and cheese, cheesy succotash (I also ordered the succotash as a side, very good). and ate different things from all our plates. He enjoyed it all. The other thing we enjoyed was what the Manager did for us. Our server told us the Manager was also aware of our wait, and did something very nice for us. I won't say what that was specifically, but it was a classy move. Thanks to the wonderful food, our incredible server and the Manager's gesture, we will return to this restaurant, the next time with a reservation,
