“I had to add my foot in this photo because we are waiting in the car for them to open!! We came at 4:00 and the owner who is really sweet informed us that they ran out of food due to unexpected popularity! She told us they had macaroni salad \\u0026 pork bun so we opted for that while we wait in the car. As we sat here waiting we saw about 30 people trying to eat here as well, then noticed the sign. Some are still waiting, like us. I can tell you from the couple things we ate to tide us over was fabulous! Pork bun, perfect. You can tell if it's going to be good with the macaroni salad, has to be done Hawaiian style \\u0026 it did not disappoint!! So we wait until 5. She (owner) is doing most of the work with family it looks like, so give her a little break if the place runs out of things. She told us how shocked she was to be so busy \\u0026 she stayed late last night over prepping \\u0026 somehow still ran out of stuff. That means it's worth it!! Also, she is hiring if anyone is looking!“

“Such a fun bar and great addition to university!!! My friends and I watched the Super Bowl there! Lots of TVs and drinks to choose from- also reasonably priced! We split the nachos and chicken and waffle sliders, amazing flavor! It’s a great place to watch UA sports!“

“One of the best dirty chai lattes I've ever had. I like my chai lattes spicy and not sweet and this was exactly how I like them. We randomly stopped in on a long weekend visit and I'll be thinking about this chai for a long time.“

“Great food and great attention. I had the pulled pork with onion rings and my wife had the cheese steak sandwich with potato wedges. Everything was delicious, our server Peter and his boss Frank were very nice. Let's support this business!“
