First time here at the upper James location and it didn’t let us down at all!! Brett was our server tonight keeping the family entertained every pass by the table! The food was great and came out promptly and perfect cooked! We had the honkin beef rib… oh yeah!!! Steak, chicken tacos, and a kids pizza! Brisket burnt ends to start with was a nice touch having the dill pickle slaw on it!! Definitely will be back soon!!!

Amazing service!!! Tonight we had the pleasure of getting taken care of by Sarah and I have to say she made our experience one to remember. She made me and my family so comfortable with here hospitality and positive energy. She worked around my daughter’s dietary restrictions like a pro, and didn’t make us feel like a burden for having allergies. Hard to find good service these days however Sarah showed us what real service should be and we will be back!!!

Spencer was an amazing server who made the experience fun and he went out of his way to make sure we had everything we could possibly need. We also spoke to to his supervisor Carol who was also so friendly and considerate. We will definitely return for another fabulous dinner!

This was the best restaurant i have been in for ages. Everything surprised my expectations. I would personally recommend the Chipotle firecraker burger. It was amazing with and without ketchup, allowing you to taste every ingredient. Our waitresse was amazing her name is Christina and she was so nice explaining and taking note of what we wanted without even using a notepad and got it right. Th drinks were phenomenal and came in one of the best-looking cups I've seen in a long time. The athmosphere was perfect with the backround music just quiet enough and a game of football playing visible on all angles and add the wild west theme with a ACTUAL CAR in the celling and you have an amazing place. 10/10, and im definitely coming back asap.

Disappointing Experience – June 2 Visit
We visited this location on June 2 to celebrate my father-in-law’s birthday. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing overall. I ordered the Buttermilk Fried Chicken, and it was very dry. The cornbread that came with it was rock hard on the ends and extremely dry as well. My husband had the Rib and Wing Combo, and his cornbread was in the same condition, The ribs tasted as though it was reheated and stale.
Our son ordered the Chicken Burrito Bowl and was happy with his meal, which was the one positive part of our evening.
Service was another letdown. Our server rarely checked in, offered no explanation for the delay in our order (which took over 30 minutes), and didn’t offer any drink refills throughout the meal.
Overall, both the food and service did not meet expectations, especially for a special occasion. I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for future guests.
