Great food, great service, and great atmosphere. Was able to walk in and immediately get a table. Our server was friendly, attentive, and efficient! (So sorry I forget names!) Food came out and everything was delicious, our table ordered the Roadhouse Smash Burger with onion rings and the Grilled Chicken with Creamed Corn with Bacon (my absolute favorite). Everything was great, wish we had gotten pictures for reference! Was our first time there and looking forward to returning in the future!
