Nice vibe. Friendly staff. I was visiting the area and we was looking for a place to hang out with the guys. We had a blast. If I'm ever in the area again. I'm definitely going back. Dee was our waiter and she was amazing. Kept checking to make sure we were good. Even when it got crowded she still came to make sure all was well.

Going to the PB for years, even when it was across the street. I love everything about it. The drinks and atmosphere and hostesses are amazing. BUT the cook must have changed within the last couple of months. My last four orders were wrong each visit. Food use to be good good every time. The wings are over cooked and the potato fries were not good. Other than that, I love this spot

The food had the possibility of being good if we would have received it hot. Our waitress was very nice, but not so much attentive. We waited for over an hour for our food and eventually had to ask another staff member to check on it for us. As far as the atmosphere it was cool. The outside had a real chill vibe. Over all it eneded upbringing great night.

This place wasn't my kind of vibe. The bartender was attentive but the drinks we had tasted like Kool-aid. The music was nice, but the place just had a low-budget demeanor to it. I am not sure I will come back, but never say never. They have karoake so maybe one day I will give that a shot.
