Reviews

They got a great happy hour menu with a few drink options.
Some entrees got a good deal during happy hours.
The dinner menu was a little expensive.
The chicken sandwich was mediocre, but the fries tasted decent.
The service was less attentive.
Those pretty ladies were always chatting with each other.
Anyway, I like their vibe and the decoration was dynamic.
It was more like a great bar or party house.


My first time experience was pretty cool.
We came for our homegirl birthday and the atmosphere was definitely a vibe! All of the right music was played from hip hop to r&b to rap I stayed jamming.
We were there for brunch and I ordered peach 🍑 French toast and sausage and potatoes but we sat so long It was time for the other food menu items to be served so I then ordered catfish nuggets and fries.
Everything I tasted was delicious.
There is an 18% gratuity added to your bill.
My bill came up to like $70 only thing I didn’t like was I didn’t get to physically see my bill I only paid what I was told from the gorgeous waitress.
The waitresses are very beautiful and they serve you with their cheeks out!! I will return in the future.


Came all the way from Cleveland Ohio.
This place was our final stop before heading back home.
Sunday funday was amazing thanks to the Esco staff.
They hooked us up with a whole section by the window and grass wall.
Our server was simply amazing.
She made sure we had a great time.
The drinks were flowing and NO THE LIQOUR ISNT CUT.
Dj played all the songs to get you out your seat and just dance! Our server even let us pick the songs when the bottles came to our section.
We had an amazing time.
Will visit again
