Pros

Perfect place to work if you are a college student and only want to work part time. There is opportunity to make decent money and great friends.

Cons

Restaurant hours are late. If you work for tips, the pay is very inconsistent. Can't request off for most holidays including 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter.

Pros

Meeting great staff FOH and BOH

Cons

No monthly salary as discussed during orientation. Bonuses totaled around 700 for year 2024. I was basically an overpaid line cook. No exaggeration. Weekly inventory and truck orders was all there was to do for managers. The rest of the day consisted of being a prep as the open mgr(we literally didn’t have a prep), hosting, bagging orders, and being the best line could you could ever want to be. Get comfortable on broil!
