When we walked in we were told to sit anywhere we liked, so we sat at the booth closest to the door. There was one other table with people and a gentleman playing music and singing. He was pretty good and was the only really good part of our dining experience. The server took our drink order, came back with them and took our appetizer order. A few minutes later she came back stating the cheese wraps exploded so they were making them again. That was no problem. She comes back a few minutes later with the Redneck Eggrolls and some almost empty eggroll wrappers that were the cheese wraps. She said they messed up again so they were making them again but wanted to go ahead and bring those out. They were brought out on a bed of shredded lettuce to soak up the grease. When the other gentleman brought out the new cheese wraps they were just on a plate with no lettuce or towels underneath. I took my napkin and laid it out to get some of the oil off. When I picked them up they poured out oil. I used several napkins to pat it up so I could at least try it. They were stuffed full of cheese, jalepenos, and onion. They looked like what you would expect. The taste was okay, but I could not get past the oil taste. The redneck eggrolls also had a good amount of oil in them but the kids said they were good. Now to the pizza. When I ordered I asked if there would be any extra charge for the way ordered and was told no. When I got the bill I was charged an extra dollar for a custom charge. When the pizza came out, it looked good for the most part. However, it was not very good at all. The sauce was very sweet. The dough was crisp on the edges but super chewy in the middle, almost under cooked. There were also black specks all over the bottom that caused a burnt taste like maybe the oven was not cleaned before cooking. I was not impressed and will not be visiting again for pizza. The burgers the other table had looked good so maybe in the future we will try this place again as a cafe and not as a pizza place. Another disappointment I had, there was no type of garlic bread, dinner rolls, or any bread option for an appetizer. The server started off very attentive but once the pizza was brought out we did not see her again until she brought the check and the box. We brought the leftovers home just to let my husband try since he was not with us, but they all ended up in the trash.
