The atmosphere was amazing, service was also very good and our server was super kind. The food was great! Definitely worth the time.
Food was astronomical! So much better than we ever expected!!! We ordered the Sweet & Spicy Asian wings, Oklahoma Smash burger, and the Beer Battered Fish & Chips, shared all 3, and they were all absolutely delicious and superb!!!
I recently visited the restaurant and had an amazing experience thanks to the incredible staff. The manager, Keiana, was so welcoming and made me feel right at home. The bartender, Isiah, is fantastic! He makes the best drinks and definitely knows how to keep his guests entertained and feeling valued. The burgers & wings are always a hit, Highly recommend this place!
I am a Rock N’ Roll fan, as well as I love trying new restaurants. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley from the rock band KISS are co-owners, so I decided to try this restaurant. I was very impressed with the barbecued ribs as both my son and I ordered them and the were tender and seasoned perfectly with great tasting BBQ sauce. The cheeseburger eggroll appetizer was awesome. Our server Ann went above and beyond to make sure we had a nice experience, and she was extremely pleasant. Great Server! Make sure you ask for her! Ann even took some pictures of my son and I throughout the restaurant. I would recommend giving this place a try. It was a fun atmosphere, and lots of different beers on tap too. Overall, it was a great experience, and the staff really did go out of their way to make sure we had a nice time.
Cool ambiance, great old music videos,, cheeseburger rolls were very substantial and satisfying and good cocktail selection.
Amanda Jackson was very busy as we enjoyed Mazzaratti play our favorite cover songs. But this didn't stop her from being one of the most attentive bartenders if experienced in quite some time. She was friendly and efficient, made great drinks and never made us wait for amazing service! Thanks, Amanda, great job! - Ross
I had such a good experience here. Everyone especially Isaiah and Margie made me feel at home and made sure I had everything I needed. Isaiah was very knowledgeable about cocktails and even made me his own special drink (btw very delicious). 5stars!
Ann has been nothing but a spectacular server. We had a group of around 100 with just one bartender. She handled it without any problems. The best server/bartender I have had in around a year. Thank you Ann for a great night.
