the environment is open seating with booths and tables.. the staff is friendly, engaging, and attentive..

the tortillas are coated in red sauce with a soft texture.. the plate has two stated preference, and the meal is served with generous portions..

The vibes here? Immaculate! I went with a friend and we had the best experience thanks to our awesome bartender Samantha M. She was super professional, made great conversation, attentive, and even recommended me her favorite drink which is now my favorite drink! (Crown Blackberry with Sprite zero!)

I have been going to this place since it opened in 1999 primarily during the day; RARELY at night. On Saturday night, I took the 25 minute drive to the Deli for food / 1 beer. IMMEDIATE ISSUES: After I sat down, it took a while for the waitress to assist me but she was assisting others near me. When she finally came over, I ordered my 1 beer. When the beer came out, it was flat & warm. Since she was again not coming over to assist me, I flagged down another Waiter and advised of the issue with the beer. Another beer was brought out and all was good. I sat at the table for a while, the Waitress was still coming near me to assist others; but not me. When she finally came over, I then told her that I had been sitting there for while and she had been helping others; and not me. I also told her that when I come to the Deli during the "daytime", the service is not like this. She became irate and said that she was not going to serve me and that would have someone serve me. Shortly thereafter, a male individual approached me with a receipt in his hand and stated that he was going to "cash me out". I asked him what did he mean. He stated that I needed to leave after paying for the beer because of being unhappy with the service. I then asked was there another Waitress or could I move to another area to eat and he said NO. I then told him that I personally knew the Owner for years and shared that I come there during the daytime with friends, wife, etc. Only after me telling him that I knew the Owner, he stated that the Deli was going to "pay for the beer" but I needed to leave. He also stated that he was the Night Manager and he could basically do as he pleases despite me knowing the Owner. Please note that I had not cursed nor yelled at anyone; only nicely complained about the service. I told him that I was going to call the Owner on his cell phone to let him know what occurred. He stated for me to go ahead and that he did not care because the Owner trusted his decisions. At this point, I decided to leave after I finished the beer but I did not trust leaving with just a unpaid receipt in hand. So, I asked the Night Manager for a paid receipt for the beer. He now became upset because I asked for a paid receipt. He then told me that I needed to leave NOW without finishing the beer. I told him that I did not feel comfortable with driving away without a paid receipt despite his “verbal” of the beer being free. The Night Manager then surprisingly stated that if I did not leave now, he was going to call the POLICE on me for trespassing, that he had done this before, then angrily walked away. I walked up to the bar area with the receipt and told the Bar Waitress that I wanted to pay for the beer and did not want anything free from the Deli. I told her that I was going to call the Owner to let him know what happened. She then told me that the actual Owner happened to be there and was in the back. She stated that he was going to come out and talk with me. As I waited, the Bar Waitress expressed how she has known me for a VERY long time, how NICE I always am there, and how I NEVER complain about anything, and is always PROFESSIONAL. The Owner came out and talked with me. He was EXTREMELY APOLOGETIC for the actions of both the Waitress and his Night Manager. He stated that he was going to talk with both the Waitress and Night Manager. He said not only was the beer paid for but he wanted to also have me sit at the bar and he'd pay for my meal. After thinking about all that had happened, I kindly rejected his offer for a free meal and told him that I was leaving and would never be coming back there again. As a 34-year military veteran, I am a professional and I carry myself as such. I know the importance of remaining calm in these situations. I should have never been treated this way as a Customer. I've concluded that this is "common practice" there because this Night Manager felt extremely comfortable with his unprofessional actions despite me knowing the Owner and com

People from my job spend much time there. It's close to work. It's not my favorite place. Service is very slow and they rarely get the order correct. It's fun to watch football there but not the spot for a chat

Not many classic neighborhood bars left. The kitchen is open until 1 AM, and the wings are nice and crunchy. Jack n Coke in the tall glass never disappoints.
