Went for a historical society event. First time ever being in here. Decent vibe. They were out of my beverage of choice, but they were busy. Fish and chips were excellent. Will go back.
The food and drinks are excellent. Thursdays special is order a drink get a second of the same for a $1.
They have a $1 matches for Happy Hour on Thursday, so certain drinks/shots are buy one, get one for $1. The food and drinks are great and the service was awesome! It wasn’t super busy and it was a nice, relaxed environment. They also have a system where you can pay online through an app, so you don’t have to wait to get your card back!
We have been here a few times and the food is always good. Service has been a bit slow, but not bad at all. Like the beer selections!!!
Great food! The pizza rolls were delicious and so was the bruschetta pizza (I had the glaze on the side). Lily was our sever and she was attentive and very kind. Great experience, we’ll back.
We had lunch there this weekend. My salad was delicious and the other two meals were different burgers. Everything was good and the service was great! The parking could be better but we got lucky and found one in the back. We played darts while we waited.
Stopped in from out of town for a concert. Great meal and cocktails. I had 2 old fashioneds and they were superb. Blackened salmon bites and a greek salad for dinner. Salmon was absolutelty amazing. Salad was fresh and well presented. It's a bar, so don't expect otherwise. However, it's family friendly and a nice atmosphere. Bartender (Kristen) was great. Solid, attentive and friendly, even as the crowd picked up. You cant go wrong stopping in here.
Awesome place to be friendly environment, loved the look and the place was nice and clean! Family oriented and prices are not to high!
Food was amazing, great atmosphere with a wonderful wait staff! Can't wait to go back.
I was visiting from out of town, first time I in the Midwest. I sat at the bar, the staff was supper busy with a private party, but still were attentive. It was nice, felt like a local. The burger was amazing, and beer was cold what more could you ask for.
