Save your time & money. I'm posting this in October of 2022, so maybe they were dealing with supply chain issues and staff shortages, but I have to be totally honest: It was pretty terrible. The whole place looked dirty and unkept, and quite frankly, so did the servers.

They were out of ribs, so we ordered other meat. The pulled pork was ok. I can't say much else about it. It was edible. The chicken was so dry I couldn't eat it. The green beans had no flavor at all. They didn't taste bad, they just didn't taste like anything at all. No seasoning. We found some leaves in the beans that looked like they might have been collard greens. These were completely flavorless as well. Very strange. I found several pieces of dried out pulled pork throughout my mashed sweet potatoes. I thought that was a strange thing to season sweet potatoes with, so I checked my son's sweet potatoes. No pork. Seems like they may have mistakenly dropped some pork in the sweet potatoes, and served it up in my serving. They were not seasoned well either. In fact, before I found the pork, I had taken a bite of sweet potatoes that tasted putrid. I thought maybe I had gotten a bite of a bad spot in the potato or something, so I took another bite. That's when I found the pulled pork. My husband asked for butter, and they brought us 2 little tiny individual butters. There were 4 of us. He asked for more. She brought us 3.

We did not order my son a kids meal, but his portions were half the size of ours at the full adult menu price. (Our portion sizes were already quite small in my opinion.)

I do want to say that I *think* they took precautions. I don't know. Could be luck. I didn't get sick, however the food was practically inedible.

I would not recommend this place.
