Very expensive. Food was just Ok, nothing super special for the outrageous prices here. I would have given 3 stars for the food but gave 2 overall because it was just underwhelming for the prices.

Best hamburger in town. Fairly pricing menu but you can get a hamburger with fries for about $20 and if you want it with sweet potato fries I think the upcharge was four or five dollars. They have great beer. The atmosphere is wonderful. Our waite person was

Elizabeth, In response to your snarky comments...about my review... I was indeed truthful. There was plenty of room and yes you did say the bar! I gave a great review of 4 stars thanks to the servers and kitchen staff. I do try to be positive and only asked that you do better. We were not asked to move by anyone but you! We were having a nice quiet dinner and couples all around were too. I have no reason to lie. You could have been nice about it but you were rude and inflexible. Your approach was cold and closed to considering that it was really not a problem for anyone but...you wanted your way. We did move seats to appease you but to your skunk analogy ... it stunk! It sure wasn't necessary. Pissing match ? Not what I was interested in but this seems your style. An apology would have been correct but even on yelp you chose to dig in and remain closed to my feedback. You're defensive I see but Again ... do better. A bit of constructive feedback for you. I have enjoyed going to your restaurant until this happened. But I guess that is not important to you. ‍

Me and my woman threw up after dining. not only was the food flavorless but also over priced. Dine here at your own risk

It was one of my favorite " go to " places - but since Covid their prices have gone up exponentially and the quality has gone down. So sad as it was a great fun and classy place to bring my guests, friends and out of town visitors.

I used to love this restaurant but with a 6.5 percent surcharge for "the heart of the house" whoever that is. I'm really disappointed in this money grab!

Fun spot to take clients or celebrate a birthday. Note: they do charge a cake cutting fee per slice if you decide to bring your own cake.

Very pricey, limited hours, great service and food, but be aware that there is a surcharge so you are paying 4% more than posted prices . Then tip recommendation is figured after tax and surcharge so you are paying 34% more than menu price. Surcharge is mentioned at bottom of menu and it is suppose to pay for back of house like chefs and food prep.

Great atmosphere, service and people! Elizabeth in the front of the house and Cliff behind the bar are the best!
