Stopped here for a late dinner with friends. They were closing at 9, and we arrived at 8. No problem seating us, and our server was very polite and friendly.The standout item ordered at our table was the mac and cheese! I've had this dish at many restaurants, and this was one of the best! It was crispy on the top, very well seasoned and super cheesy. Sometimes cheesy can be bland, but this was definitely not. It was delicious! I also had a wedge salad (it was deconstructed so easy to eat) and the dressing was a light Ranch, crumbled Gorgonzola, cheddar, cherry tomatoes and avocado. This all combined into a great salad. The menu had much more I hope to try in future visits! Sorry no food pics! I was hungry and forgot to take any. - Donald Manchip
