But seriously -- the children in this place made me want to pull my hair out. They were everywhere, screaming, being tickled by adults who should be shot. It was a cacophony and made us want to run screaming. \n\nHow did I live up this way for 3 years and not try this joint? Part of it is that it looks a little redneck-ish from the road. I had no idea until recently that it is owned by the same group that runs 131 Main, one of our favorite restaurants. So, that made it something we were a little more adventurous with. But the children... dear God... the children...\n\nI agree with others that the one drink machine, the sort of sterile environment, and the large numbers of people (and children!) hanging all over the place at 2:00pm on Saturday make it a place I will probably only visit on off hours, or to eat in my car. Thus the 3 stars, even though the food deserves 4. Great tender chicken!"^^ . "2"^^ . .
