The guy running it was very nice and informative about the game. Now for the meal, this was one of the best meals we've had in a while. My son got the flatbread pizza and mozzarella sticks. He love them both. I got a smash burger on a bed of lettuce with 2 eggs on top and a side salad. It was fantastic! We liked it so much tha"

"This place continues to decrease in value and enjoyment. It is like visiting a place as an adult you loved as a child, but now it is just not the same.

Needs to find more value to be sustainable."
