I love coming here and getting their happy hour specials. The food and service is always good and it’s a comfortable atmosphere with tvs and a jukebox. Great hangout spot!

ABSOLUTE incompetence! you might want to wait for this new business to get their act together before going. i made a reservation for 14 a week ago. when i called to confirm on day of plan they could no longer accommodate us as the space was given to another. the woman who took my reservation failed to put it on the calendar. no one called us to let us know. Leaving me with my whole supper club and no where to go. i requested that they put tables together in the dining room, we would arrive in 2 hours and they refused. they are NOT getting off on the right foot and none of us will give them a 2nd chance.

We've been three or four times since Samuel's closed. This time we ordered a 10 tender basket and only got 7 lol... Which is a problem if you're expecting two people to get 5 each and it costs $17. 7 wings (supposed to be 10) for 17 bucks. Crikey mate. They're also breaded differently than the other times and a bit dry. They were busy, it happens, but it stinks. The time before this I forgot to mention buffalo in the order and got plain wings, which is technically on me, but I've never not been asked for the sauce. The two times before were fine. The fries are always good. I miss my tendies basket from Samuel's. They were always so good, consistent, and reliable. You also got a lot more food for the same or a little less $. These tendies are about half the size.

So this is our second visit in there our first visit was like OK, but we thought we’d given another try and knowing that it was the former owner of Samuel’s, which we used to go to all the time we thought let’s try to give the local business another try, we went N with friends who are visiting from Florida and we ordered a large chicken nacho, Wings, and a large pretzel we had four drinks, and I have to tell you that the nachos were the absolute worst nachos we have ever tasted in our entire life. It was a big bowl of nachos with raw onions, underneath peppers and loads of jalapeño peppers, which were fine, but there was a cover of cheese over the top of them, and once that was done, there was no cheese mixed in underneath it all so it was like a big bowl of nacho chips. It was honestly th
