The food is okay, pretty good even, but the service and atmosphere are so-so.\n\nI have been several times, once just my partner and myself, and several other times with groups. When I went with my partner and we sat in a booth, the atmosphere was quite nice, not too loud. But whenever I have been in groups, I find that the back area is just too loud and crowded, which really takes away from the dining experience.\n\nWhen I was with a group, they brought water right away, but when I was with one other person, they didn't and instead asked if we would like drinks. Once I asked for water, I was asked about ordering drinks AGAIN, before I had my glass of water. This kind of annoys me, I can't be the only one! \n\nBread, do they give bread? That is a burning question on my mind. Sometimes they bring it, sometimes they don't. I would love some consistency here.\n\nThe food itself is pretty good. For appetizers, we got spinach dip and garlic bread. Their spinach and cheese dip is so delicious! Well worth ordering. I would go back for the cheese dip again for sure.\n\nTheir garlic bread, however, gets 2 thumbs down. It was mostly cheese on bread, with very little garlic or butter. In fact, they could have marketed it as cheese-bread or grilled cheese, but it wasn't \"garlic bread.\" This was super disappointing to me, I love garlic bread.\n\nThe ribs they serve are great! I am picky when it comes to ribs but I really like theirs. The sauce isn't too sweet, it is just right, and they are always cooked to perfection. When we went, there was a 2-for-1 deal for ribs (with the purchase of an appetizer), which makes the ribs even better!\n\nI have also had their chicken, which I find very moist and flavorful. Their sides (like fries and mashed potatoes) taste great and come in good sized portions.\n\nOverall, I don't think I would go out of my way to go back, but I would definitely happily order their ribs if there is another group function for me to go to."^^ . . .
