::Update:: Just visited again and everything was just as awesome with great service. This place is pretty awesome. I've only been here for lunch, but I have enjoyed the food thoroughly. The vibe is easy going, the prices are pretty good, and the food is awesome. My only issue is the last time I went, the waitress seemed agitated while servicing our table - annoyed at us (who had just arrived), really short in taking our order, and inconvenienced by having to bring our check... I will assume she must have been having a rough day. So, overall, the experience was fine. Food was great though!

Went to a Forget Me Not Bingo there. Awesome cause. The Legends is an equally awesome event location. Food was yummy and a decent price. Waitress was great!

Their Chicago Lightening was delicious, I myself ordered the Bar B Que Ribs - perfect Seasoning.... I believe the ribs could have been a little more tender. Grandson ordered Bar B Que Burger he complained about to much sauce. Their sample platter was very delicious, and the Brownie w/ ice cream was a tasty touch to the end of a great meal... I will suggest this place to all my friends for dining and drinks..... I will most definitely be returning. Thanks staff the waitress was very polite and attentive to our wants.

We held my daughter's wedding at the event center. From start to finish we had a great experience. Our wedding coordinator Bre was a God send and she made our day more than perfect! We can not recommend them enough for every ounce of accommodation the made. We will have the best memories for years to come.

My husband & I are dinner here tonight. I specifically wanted to try the new Mediterranean additions & it did not disappoint! I started with a cup of lentil soup… so good!! Then I had the fattoush salad, chicken kabob plate. The seasoning on the chicken was amazing, subtle & not overpowering. It came with rice, homemade hummus, garlic sauce & pita bread. I will absolutely be back to try other things off the menu. My husband had a cheeseburger & tater tots and said he really enjoyed it.

Pastrami special is great. Great price and value for the price. I only wish fries and tator tots were a bit less greasy. Staff really nice. Stayed on top of our table. Offered refill and dessert.

We went to watch the world series and had a blast. Natasha was our server, and she was excellent. We ordered off the happy hour menu. They had three dollar hot dogs for the ball game and five dollar well drinks and beer. We have such a good time and our team won also.

This place is well thought out. They have many of my favorite dishes on their menu like chicken potpie, fish tacos, clam chowder and a plethora of other great items. The place is spotless and the service is very very attentive. It's quite obvious the owner has logistical experience in the restaurant industry because it runs way too smooth. Prices are extremely reasonable for the portion and quality of items served. It was one of my better dining experiences while in the area. Will definitely come back on my next visit.
