Love it. The service and food was good. Try the ribs along with the Mac n cheese. I got the cookie desert was not what I expected it was better. Order one to Hugh for me I had to share and for free I couldn't complain. Family atmosphere reminders me of the country bear jamboree in Walt Disney world with... More

My coworker and I stopped here, admittedly a little late on a weeknight for dinner. The first thing to know is watch for the signs, as it's hidden in a bizarre location behind a Red Lobster. I found the service to be good, but we were more or less the only people in there. The waitress forgot things a couple... More

Liked the food, was priced accordingly. I ate in my first night here, then called for take-out the second night of my stay. They charged almost twice the amount it should have been, then when I asked for it to be corrected, they charged for a salad, which was supposed to be included with the meal according to the person...

We were originally going to the nearby Red Lobster but passed due to a huge line spilling out the door (and let's face it- Red Lobster isn't worth the wait). Saw Bugaboo Creek and decided to give it a shot based on the decent crowd. Went inside and was pleasantly surprised. Outdoor atmosphere and dining area wasn't crowded. The waiter... More

We had read a few negative reviews, but wanted to try this restaurant anyway. Are we glad we did! The food was delicious and our server was great. Our water and tea glasses were never empty. We had the sampler app., sirloin steak, and prime rib. Everything was cooked exactly as we asked. My husband always likes his fries crispy... More

Frequent this place for workday lunches. They changed the menu a few months back and the lunch specials are quite what they use to be. Big surprise there. However it is still a good lunch and the service is always good. We typically go early and the place is typically quite busy by the time we leave.

Pluses... not crowded, easy to park, right off 270, fairly nice menu (not overwhelming), nice staff Minuses... slow service, not easy to see from road (you have to know where it is tucked behind the Red Lobster) I haven't been to this restaurant more than twice and was surprised to find that the pseudo-Disney decor (animatronic singing moose head, flopping...

Look - this place is great for kids but not so good with foodies. I mean the burger is ok but it's not a fine dining get a filet type of place. So if you need a quick and easy kids place this is your stop. Just kind of curious how Outback hasn't sued them yet... Hmmmnm

Great food. Excellent service. Fun atmosphere with singing animals. Really enjoyed the desserts. Plenty of parking and friendly staff if there is a wait to be seated.

It consistently remains good, quality and taste. And very good staff, remembers you and able to offer your favourites based on previous visits. Impressive I need to say, additionally, makes you feel important and taken care off. Recommended for a nice dinner in a decor far from home.
