I was really excited to try this place based on positive reviews. The interior & exterior are very unusual, but the dining experience was average at best. I tried call-ahead seating & felt like I had inconvenienced the staff when I called; the hostess was very short with me and didn't even ask my name. We were seated immediately upon arrival as they were not busy, however. Our table was very near the entrance and with 3 kids in our party, we later wished we had been seated out of the main pathways. It took a while for a server to greet us and take our drink order. Food was served promptly but we barely saw our waitress after that. Hard to get a refill on drinks. The kids menu was one black&white sheet of paper with a couple activities; nothing fancy. My husband's burger was over cooked and my pasta was bland. Kids' chicken tenders looked like something from a bag (they were triangular, did not seem to be freshly prepared). Garlic bread was good. We were excited to try cheese curds as a local novelty but found them to be basically mozzerella sticks.
Overall, food was average or less and the experience was a poor value. Would not recommend and would not identify as "family-friendly."
