My wife had been on me to go here, and she caught me in a weak moment (I normally don't go to chains), and it wasn't bad. The server was amazing. The food actually tasted fresh and had a good flavor, except the Cole slaw, which was terrible. But we're not here for Cole slaw. The inside is typical Applebees/Fridays/every other similar place. That's not a bad thing, it's just played out. Will I go back? Maybe. But maybe isn't a no, so we shall see.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

The food was mediocre, but the service was great and the atmosphere was good. The wait for the food wasn't long, and my waiter made sure my table was always refilled with drinks.

We love coming to this location! The staff love having kids there. They are super accommodating and very friendly! The high chairs for the high tops are fantastic! We don’t have to wait extra long for a standard table. Great margaritas!
