    Curses! You found me out :D

    I wish they would have kept the old location open so that the wait would be shorter on the weekends.

    The 6 or 8x seating capacity increase hasn't helped with the wait. So far, it seems to be about the same.

    Waits are worse than ever. We've tried going 3-4 times, and each time there's about ten people waiting outside.

    We've pretty much written the place off as a weekend option--maybe when we need food on a Wednesday . . .

    I've been there on a Saturday night and on a Monday night and have never waited longer than 15 minutes, but then again, I was only with one other person both times.

    The larger parties didn't fare as well. Large parties, don't come hungry, cuz you'll be waiting..LOL

    My wife and I have tried twice to go here on a Friday, but the line was stretched outside the door. While it's much larger than the original, it's still smaller that I'd initially realized. Nonetheless, nice addition to the neighborhood.
