The food was amazing!!! The best ribs of my life!!! I’m gonna tell about them all the time after getting back to Poland. My brother’s fried chicken was great, too. Thank you an amazing experience ♥️ Had a great night here, buzzing place with live music Had a beautiful meal here a few weeks ago, atmosphere was truly lovely, my other half really enjoyed it also.

Drinks were great, food was incredible and the staff were nice and friendly. I asked for a drink that had a grape garnish and she said they didn't have the garnish, so I said no problem and said the drink is okay without but I couldn't order it that way, I had to get a different drink which was disappointing but understandable ❤️ The food we had was fantastic. Served very well by a young gentleman named Noah. Added to the experience. Noah is an absolute gem. Couldn't of asked for a better service with Noah behind the bar. Legend 💪 We had such a positive experience in Paris Texas. The food was absolutely amazing in particular the fajitas. Our experience was enhanced by the great service we received from Noah. I would highly recommend here! Patrick P.

Uwielbiam Stany Zjednoczone, tak więc nie mogło mnie tutaj zabraknąć. Bardzo miła obsługa, świetna muzyka, taka jaką lubię. Jestem zachwycona i na pewno wrócę. Polecam! Lamb burger with goat cheese was amazeballs. Great selection of food and bevvies. After having a surprise proposal from my now new fiance while sitting at the bar here yesterday the staff where amazing we came back again today before we head back to Dublin. The food is second to none and the staff are friendly and attentive couldn't recommend it more. Thank you so much guys we will see you nxt time we visit kilkenny Wild Killer fortnite C.
