We have experienced it both ways. Once we just walked in and sat right down, and another time we had the experience where we had to wait in a long line in line. The night we waited, I was not aware of a "special" game going on. We were considering eating here on our October trip, but the night we are looking at is likely one of the Major League Baseball playoff games. We decided not to risk it, and I have made an ADR else where. The wait can be really long!
