Overall this was very good, our first time at this location. It's not necessarily the place to take old people and others with hearing issues though, the background noise level is quite high... All of our food was prepared quickly and exactly as we ordered. Everything tasted great our server was excellent I wish I remembered his name. We were a party of six family members for a birthday dinner. As I said the food was good the menu is extensive, there's definitely something for everyone although I'm not sure I saw any gluten free items listed. We weren't interested in the games, but it looked awesome and I'll definitely go back and check them out next time. All the kids there seem to be having a great time, adults too LOL.
