Our food was delicious. The coleslaw is so good the smoked meat was more than I expected. Moist & delicious.
Unfortunately our service was terrible. From the very first moment, we were all really looking forward to dessert & it was the birthday of someone in our group.
We went with the expectations of having dessert & singing happy birthday & having a great time. After ordering & food landing, we never saw our server again. We ended up waiting so long to ever see our server again & when we did see her she was wearing her coat & walking right by going out for a cigarette. At that point we had already forfeited the dessert idea as we'd been looking for her for at least 15 minutes to order dessert, & we were already all standing with jackets on waiting for our bills. She walked right by for her cigarette break without even acknowledging us. Eventually we asked someone else to help us pay & they also put on their cost & went out to get her. She was visibly annoyed that we had disrupted her break, at that point at least 8 minutes after she left the restaurant.
The food was great. The service was unfortunately really terrible.

Je n'ai pas eu la cerise sur mon Sundae! Ce n'est pas grave il était simple & bon, le ratio crème glacée & sirop de chocolat était parfait. Steve avait une énergie incroyable. Ma copine a trouvé le Cheesecake un peu trop sucré, mais le malheur des uns fait le bonheur des autres, moi qui aime généralement pas les gâteaux aux fromage, celui du Dunn's me donne envie de laisser une deuxième chance à la pâtisserie au fromage.

The food was greasy & not very good quality. The beers were okay-not bad, but nothing memorable either.
