    Very disappointed that they had taken Baby Back Ribs off of the menu - we had checked out the menu before booking and was the only reason we decided to visit!

    We had reservations and did not have a server wait on us to take our order for over 45 minutes. We had gotten drinks prior to sitting down and spoke to the server that we would like to order food. She assured us she would be right back. We sat there with menus in front of us. She never returned. There were three servers and no one seemed to be interested in serving anyone. We left since no one was interested in doing there job.
