I am sickened by this. I recently had my husband’s 50th birthday party there and I must tell we were treated with the utmost respect and kindness by all the Burnzie’s staff and for some “stupid/idiotic” individual’s to go in and subject this place of business to this type of behavior an “outrage”! I hope they catch the individuals responsible and throw the book at them!!!
