I’m posting this in hopes that it will improve the cleanliness and atmosphere. We eat here quite a bit because we live close by. Since this restaurant reopened as Thunderbirds, it has gradually gone downhill in cleanliness and also food quality. The last few times we’ve been there, the floor is sticky and does not look clean at all. In fact, after I got home my shoes were still sticking to my own floor inside my house. There is serious dust, dirt, and debris buildup around the windows and walls. The restrooms are not good either. The food is decent but definitely not great, at least not over the past 6 months or so. Service is hit and miss, but usually pretty good. I’m am genuinely hoping that this will be a wake up call before they end up like the Landing did. We enjoy going here to hangout and eat, but someone needs to get it back to where it was when it first opened.

Was told they have good food, and we weren’t disappointed! Mariah was our server, so helpful with menu suggestions and gave great service! We had the pulled pork tacos & chicken fried steak. Both were wonderful and the portions were hearty! Would definitely go back!

If you want to wait 40 min for a drink and a hour before you can order with a 30+ min wait for the food. This place is perfect if you have nothing but time to waste. 5 star service and food don’t exist here

They replaced my order that was not acceptable the first time around. But there should be no need for 2nd chances if you do it right the first time. Waitstaff was very kind and did her job.

It was a great place to go but our food wasn’t hot when we were served, so I assume the food would be Top tier if it was warmer. The service was great, and kind. Only other thing would be dark lighting in the room.

Not impressed wasn’t busy maybe 15 20 people and waitress didn’t seem like she wanted to be there and or cared. Fries were cold asked for a new set of fresh fries for both my wife and I and 1 side order was brought out. My soda was finished with in 5 min this is usual for me and never once did the waitress offer or get me a refill. Wife said I should say something to the owner and I didn’t since if he had no clue what was going on he didnt care either since all his waitresses were just sitting at 1 table pretty much in front of him. My son is a waiter and if he waited on a customer like that Id tell him poor service too. Left a 75 cent tip and said Id never be back.

Tried this for the first time today. Not sure what was going on with thier ground hamburger. Tasted like cleaning solution. Seriously gross. Had a side of onion rings and chili. Onion rings good though there was an extra bonus giant curly q macaroni in my chili… no idea. Waiter very patient and re ordered a pork loin sandwich. Pork loin was pretty good.

While it was really late on a Saturday night, it was not at all crowded as you would think a bar and grille would be. Our server was very pleasant and helped me choose what to have off the menu. Food was served fresh and hot and the establishment was clean.
