Food was greasy and blah. Service was horrible. Place is dirty and smelly and the girls over do the flirting with customers for that extra tip. Very trashy. I was sick for 3 days after I ate there, I think this place needs an inspection on food prep and storage and cleanliness. There are so many drunks there and I have never seen anyone get cut off for being to drunk.
