If only I could select zero stars. Went there last night with a friend and the so called owner Im guessing because he would never answer the question of who he was besides Tony stared us down the whole time we were there playing pool. He was black with a neon outfit on the neon colors as if he was outside directed traffic in the parking lot lol. I just assumed he was a creeper which you will find many like that in that place that are drooling when they see females walk in. After my friend lost a game she put her pool stick on the table then we hear a man yell "Dont slam the pool stick on the table". She asked who he was then he proceeded to say "Ill kick you out of here". After already feeling uncomfortable we still continued to play. I overhear him talking to someone saying "she talking about who am I". He then walks over to security and kicks us out for no reason asking the girl at the bar to cash us out. By this time as Im paying my bill Im telling him how its a shame that he is supposed to be a man bullying 2 young women for no reason. The only thing he could say was "well she slammed the pool stick on the table". Ive been to this establishment plenty of times and never have I been treated like this. Poor service but never had we been a target (2 females) for no reason. As the security guard is walking us out he agreed and said "I understand how you feel because yall have been here all night and havent been doing anything". Needless to say I wont be back.

If i could rate this place as a zero, or if i could go lower than a zero I would. Not because of food or waitresses, although i cancelled my food order. My reason is management and a rude, ignorant, sweaty, cursing security guard and a weak manager who doesnt stand up for her customers because she look scared that he might hit her. I was there with my friends to support my nephew in high school as he sings with his band for the first. The guard approached us as we were sitting with family and friends and rudely started asking are we staying. Mind you he saw us pay to get in as we waited for him to finish his conversation for that. So our faces were shocked at his tone. He then preceded to curse and tell my friend they can take it outside, and stated he can leave. We werent saying a word and he basically attacked us. He even followed us outside as if he was waiting to be provoked further. I have never felt so threatened at a restaurant. Then the manager came out and took up for him. And did nothing to remedy the situation not even an apology. If we were ignorant like the security guard i guess he would have left us alone but good people get this treatment. I am livid at this point and im not stopping til I tell as many ppl as i can that this is the most disrespectful place i have ever encountered in my life and they will never ever get my business or anyone i know.

This place was terrible and what makes it worse is they do not have a website to make complaints to. After waiting for an hour for 6 chicken wings and mashed potatoes in an establishment that was not busy I received my 6 wings, no mashed potatoes, and my chicken was cold. After I was told that the manager was going to come, the manager never came to my table instead the waitress spoke to the cook about making me more wings due to them being cold. I said fine. Then when it came time for my check I asked if it could be split since I was with 2 other people. The check was missing items that were on our table and the waitress then had to ask us what we had and had to add our drink. To me this establishment showed very poor business skill set and I would never recommend it to anyone for any occasion or event.

DONT COME HERE!!!!!! RUN AWAY OR THE SWEATY BLACK MALE WITH A BALD HEAD SECURITY GUARD WILL ATTACK ON SITE!!! NO QUESTIONS ASKED JUST ATTACK!!!! IM ALL FOR SUPPORTING ESPECIALLY MY ON RACE WE HAVE IT HARD ENOUGH BUT THIS SO CALLED MAN ATTACK MY FRIEND FOR NO REASON. YOU HAVE TO SEE HOW BIG THIS GUY IS OVER MY FRIEND WHICH IS A SWEETHEART AND HELPS EVERYONE. THIS HURT ME TO MY SOUL BECAUSE THERE WAS NO CAUSE FOR IT. GOING TO MANAGEMENT DONT HELP AT ALL SHE EVEN SIDED WITH THE CREEP. THIS PROTECT AND SERVICE BUSINESS IS SCARY IN EVERY AREA OF LIFE. HE CAME TO SUPPORT A YOUTH MEMBER MY SON TONIGHT AND COULDNT EVEN LET HIM KNOW HE WAS HERE TO SUPPORT BECAUSE A CRAZY SECURITY GUARD BLANKED OUT AND OBVIOUSLY THOUGHT HE WAS SOMEONE ELSE....THATS THE ONLY EXPLANATION TO THIS SCENE TONIGHT

My time to see my nephew band perform was destroyed by a egomaniac bouncer. We were talking to ourselves and he came out of nowhere yelling at my friend and threatened him. He is a psycho. Then to make matters worse the manager was no help and seem to be afraid of him as well. It started really when we stood at the door for 10 minutes waiting to be acknowledged as the same "security guard" held a conversation. YOU COULDNT PAY ME MONEY TO EVER COME BACK HERE!!!!!!! When my friend went to get a refund, the guy followed us outside as if he wanted to say something else. He is a horrible person. The fact that he still has a job says alot about this place.

BEWARE !!!!!! If I could go lower on stars I would. All I got to say is owner is going to go out of business with the way he treats customers. Sounds to me that the fake Vietnam veteran hat he is wearing tells it all. Getting kicked out because he dosnt like you sounds like a huge racist problem that needs to be taken care of. My friends used to come in all the time, it was the go to spot till we got our table shut down and kicked us out like we were animals. Yeah this place could definitly be bull dozed and maybe something nice can replace that dump. The owner should get kicked out for being a racist that he is. #its not the 40s

Just attended on Friday night, July 7th. Was a little leary after reading some of the reviews. But I must admit Friday night with Old School V105.3 broadcasting live was fun and orderly. The waitress was very attentive, food was hot & good once. Yes, gratuity is added to the food order. Alcohol & non alcoholic drinks were nonexpensive. Security was on point with no drama. We had a group of 6 & we all agree it was nice. We will return on a Friday night, I cant speak about other days never attended. Cant give 5 stars....

Service was slow. Food was luke warm at best. I got my salad with my meal. It was open seating when I was there and where I sat with my wife I was told that this area was closed. Ten minutes later another group came in and sat in the same area. I guess I was the wrong color. Never experienced this and hopefully will not have to again in the future. I enjoy playing pool, the pool hall area looked really nice but after the treatment I received I chose not to play. I will not be returning.
