⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Katie Carr
Decided to try somewhere new for our date night and this place was good! Has a Ma&Pop kinda feel and they had some live music, too! Service was great! We had the patty melt and the pork tenderloin sandwich.
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Ty Chamberlin
I got a steak sandwhich - it wasn't awesome and tasted chemically. Also - I learned a whole steak probably doesn't deserve to be between bread. Venue was awesome, waitress was awesome, and the apps were amazing. I'd go back again and just get a different entree. Support local - give them a try and avoid the steak sammich! ❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Sean Colony
Totally chill place, the food is some of the best around. Always friendly and quick, and again, the food!!! For real. I could order blind from the menu and know it was going to be delicious !
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Through the Looking Glass
February 19th, 2024 This a was good last minute lunch find. The meatloaf tasted like my grandmother's homemade .... Delicious! I want to go back to try the fried fish, it looked just as yummy on surrounding customers plates!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Michael Hayes
First time going after someone told me they had good burgers. Just your typical dive bar with a friendly staff and relaxing atmosphere. We got there just after 4 pm and just a handful of people there and a few people at the bar drinking. The waitress was super friendly and went over the specials for the day. I had the double cheeseburger with pepper jack cheese. It came out and I was surprised at how big it was. It was tasty and perfect. Definitely full when I left. I will go back again for dinner for sure.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Jeff
It was really delicious. No video but I do plan on getting more pictures soon when I go back there. It's going to be awesome when I do. As work goes I never know where I will be but I am grateful. Best patty melt that I have ever had in a very long time. I recommend eating here. You know when it's good when the locals are always there.
