Community Rating
Reviews via GoogleWhat diners say — our read
Diners rate this place well. The inspector did not. Where how guests are treated comes up, the rating that follows averages 4.3, so it reads as a strength. Speed of service is the next most common subject, in 23% of reviews (averaging 4.3).
5 stars is the modal score, given by 8 of the 13 reviewers who rated. The split is 12 positive to 0 negative across 13 rated reviews, with 1 in the middle. Behind those, price is raised in 15% of reviews (4.0 average).
None of that is visible in a star rating: the most recent DBPR inspection graded this kitchen a D (65/100), citing 3 high-priority, 2 intermediate, and 5 basic violations. Diner sentiment and inspection result are measuring different things here, and only one of them is checked by the state. That inspection was on June 26, 2026. That puts it ahead of 13% of graded kitchens in Lake County. Among the items recorded were dishwashing facilities and food-contact surfaces clean and sanitized.
The practical read: people enjoy eating here, and the kitchen still failed its last inspection. Those are separate claims, and only the second one gets checked by anybody. Read the originals below and judge the pattern yourself.

Service stinks. You had a great server Bobby. Now he is gone . He was very attentive to all of his guests. The food and atmosphere is wonderful. You need to hire better servers. Thank you .

This place has a rockin' weekend with local bands and biker friendly atmosphere. Drinking, Eating, and Dancing is encouraged. The sunsets are to die for. But be ready to open your wallet the party doesn't come cheap.

Wild place. Lots of people having a good time. Entertainment robust and loud. Our server, Michele, was very good and took good care of us as she did for many others. Interesting afternoon. Hopefully, Michele will be recognized for her good service.

My wife and I had a date night showed up here heard about it. What a fantastic place to go out of the way. Had a great band playing waiter that we had was fantastic. I’m sorry I just didn’t get his name, but we are out in the back, the gentleman was fantastic. We will be back.

Great lesbian restaurant

Parking was almost impossible. There were no tables available, even after waiting awhile. Loved the atmosphere……I see why it was so busy! Live music was very nice. I will have to try back at a less busy time instead of Memorial weekend. 😊😊
