    Food was top notch the ny strip I had was great and the potato pave’ was also very good. Ordered their smoked old fashioned and it was fine. The delivery of the drink and experience of watching the performance of making it was better than the actual drink. Overall great experience and great customer service, we live one hour away and will make the drive again.
