Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for third date onwards - it's casual and family-oriented rather than romantic. The Saturday karaoke and kids running around might kill the mood.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually yes on weeknights. Weekend dinners fill up with regulars and birthday parties, so calling ahead saves waiting with hungry kids.
Is it kid-friendly? Extremely - high chairs, kids menu, patient staff who've seen it all since 1985. They'll bring chips immediately to keep little ones happy.
