From their reviews
“The place is huge. Even with a big crowd it never feels crowded. Very nice Diamond tables, with cue sales and repair services. Try the food! The servers are nice and helpful, but can get overwhelmed on a very busy night. Just be patient.”
“The menu has a really nice selection. There is a good value for the food you get. We liked the appetizer sampler basket because we could try three different appetizers at once with smaller portions. There is a jukebox you can choose your music on by using your phone. There are also TVs, pool tables, and darts to play.”
“Open tables when we walked in and the service was fantastic. Our waitress was attentive and our food came out very quickly. We visited in the middle of the day at 1:30 with a party of 7.”
