I went on a Tuesday evening, no cover and the place was packed. The bar is huge (40+ feet long) and only had one bartender so it took quite long to get served.
Appetizers were okay for the price. Dining area has large windows with an unremarkable view of the six-lane street. For smokers, there is an outdoor patio with heat lamps.
I recommend calling ahead for a reservation if you're going with a big group.
