Honestly, the whole setup was really cool. Very well put together, great theme. BUT, the service was absolutely terrible, the food was way too expensive for its lack of taste, and the choice of music clashed against the entire theme of the restaurant. The hostess was on her phone the whole time and didn't care about having manners, and it took 15 minutes just to order drinks at a table. On top of that, our server never stopped by to see how we were doing, or even tried to give us refills. If you're going to have a steam-punk theme, why would you play rap music??? Overall the place has huge potential, but it's being run by terrible people that clearly just don't care about the whole vibe.

Pretty Awesome Place! So I seen this place in passing after their opening and thought it looked cool, I was right. Decor was awesome and what really took it over the top for me was the drinks. Order the Smoking Gun Shot on the rocks and you'll find out what I mean. Their VR setup it cool too especially if you get the IV bag to sip on.

First of all, walking in - you're in a whole other world. It's apocalyptic theme and grafitti art give you an absolutely unique dining experience. The food tastes great and the service is spot on. Barry, my favorite waitor there, is incredible. He helps make the experience and it's nice to come in and have someone who knows the food and drinks you like and want. He remembered my go to drink and recalled my preferences for certain dishes. I love this place and I love the energy here.

This place is amazing. The food is delicious and well priced. The free little pita breads are very addictive! The wait staff were excellent and attentive, making sure we were also topped off on water and comfortable. The Mad Max theming of the location was great and really lives up to its name.

I don't think I can complain one bit on this place. It is such a memorable place that fun and intriguing. If you go here you must get the "hunter's table" where you can grill your own meat on a lava or pink salt rock. If I could I'd give this place a thousand stars

Such a cool place. The interior decor alone is worth a trip. From the chairs to the walls to the ceilings to the restrooms (be sure to go and wash your hands), the attention to detail is superb. The VR is a great compliment. I had a blast! Super friendly and helpful staff as well.

This place is absolutely horrible. I have been here twice. The first time was bad. I gave it another shot thinking it might have been growing pains since it was fairly new the first time we went. The food is terrible and highly overpriced. The staff pays you no mind. The decor is like eating in a junk yard. The parking is difficult. We just had an overall terrible experience the both times we came. Never again. There are plenty of other decent restaurants in that area that have proven to be exceptional.

I grabbed food to go and it was ......okay. I had the Po Boy Shrimp Sandwich (It's $17 by the way) and honestly it was dry and the shrimp tasted like there wasn't any seasoning in the fry batter. The fries, the atmosphere, and staff are great. However, based on the sandwich it makes me wonder if I would like to pay almost $20 for food with no flavor.
