    This place popped into my mind tonight. Anyone ever been? It's the wildest dining experience you'll ever have, you'll have no idea what anything costs, and it will take a minimum of two and half hours to eat there. And they'll bring you things you didn't ask for. In ceramic vases.

    Any good stories you guys have of the place? I sang Toby Keith karaoke while eating a falafel there once and I was completely stone-cold sober.

    I used to live right near there and went fairly often. Crazy place. Kind of went down hill the last couple of times I went, from a cleanliness perspective.

    Yes. I have lived in Maynardville and Vestal. I'm a classy feller.

    I've been there. It's entertaining, I'll give it that. I'm not really that into that much craziness going on while I eat, though. Some of the food I liked, some was meh. I think I could order more intelligently next time.

    I also lived in Vestal for a little over a year. Friend who I rented from still lives there. Right between Ave C and D. Our immediate neighbors were fine but you didn't have to go far for shenanigans.

    I've always heard how awesome this place is but have never gone there.

    I lived on the other side of Chapman off Moody Ave about three streets behind the shady Ken-Jo there for about a year. The neighbors directly surrounding us were great, but I kept waiting on about 3 or 4 houses on our street to blow up in a meth production gone bad.

    That spot was Vestal at its finest.

    Go there once to say you've been. Don't have any expectations about it and just enjoy it as some sort of bizarre dinner theater.

    It's BYOB as well. Perfect spot for an 8th social event imo.
