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

It's easy to get hired here. Several people got hired around the same week I did. Only 1 of them is left or hasn't finished up their 2 week notice. The reason is because of the location. It's in the heart of the city and the low quality clients that come in only tip like $2 and $5 so you can work for 9 hours straight and only leave with $45 bucks a couple nights in a row.

Cons

low tips and the computer order entry is quite un-user friendly. Computers are easy for me though so I learned it quick but others had trouble getting their routine down the first month.
