We went there on a Sunday. The food was amazing. Ribs are OUT OF THIS WORLD delicious the calamari is so soft and melts in your mouth. Burgers are awesome and so are the jalapeño poppers. A great play area for kids. The atmosphere was such a VIBE with amazing live music. We loved it. Oh and the staff are super friendly. Highly recommend this awesome place.

Wow, what a nice experience. Lots to do for the children and the zipline for the little ones is a winner. The food is excellent and the service the best. We also feed the ponies with the snack parcels for the animals and the kids enjoyed that. I will definitely recommend The Pot.
