"It was a fun place to hang out...food was very good and the live band added to the enjoyable evening. Our waiter had a great sense of humor and never got too vulgar, which I appreciated. Friendly staff that stopped by the table just to chat.on their way to and from the kitchen. Never rushed to eat and leave...we will be back."

"Great time with great friends. Be prepared to have napkins thrown at you from neighboring tables, and the server are actual dicks to you, hence the name. It's a fun place to have a good laugh with friends, and the hats each of us got were probably the best part. Not sure how accurate they were, but awesome time. The food was typical American food - wings, burgers, ribs, etc. But you go for the laughs, booze, good vibes, and live music."

The band was good, but no one could talk/hear when they were playing, although they did only play one or two songs every hour or so. Thank you to everyone that put up with us, you guys were so great! We would love to come back! :)"
