Stopped in while looking for somewhere to grab a bite to eat and a drink with my girlfriend. The place wasn't busy so we sat at the bar. We were greeted by the bartender Joyce. She was extremely personable and friendly. Being our first time there, she went over some of the food items and drink offerings. We ended up selecting two of their hot dogs (The Diablo and Ruben Dog) and also split the Buffalo Bill Cheese Fries. (With a side of their garlic aoli dipping sauce). We also tasted a pumpkin IPA that they were offering. We definitely were not disappointed with the meal or drinks..... everything was so good! And throughout our meal Joyce would check to see if we needed anything/was very attentive and also held a nice conversation with us and all the while not "intruding" when my girlfriend and I were talking to one another. It was definitely a nice place to go and we are glad we stopped in. We will definitely be going back to try some of their other awesome food and drink options. Besides the great food/drink, it's nice to go to a place where people like Joyce make you feel welcome.

The burgers are amazing! The fries and sweet potato fries are amazing too. Andrew was our server, he was amazing. This place is awesome. I was only in town for a few hours and was just looking around for a place to eat. So glad I stopped by. I would highly recommend you stop by here.
I ordered a Cobb Salad to go. I couldn't believe the price of the salad. It was far too expensive and the ingredients were not impressive at all. Much too expensive for a salad to go.

Used to be a place we stopped in on Sunday’s but something has changed ( besides Jeremy Madera leaving). Today, place was fairly empty for an overcast Sunday. We just had a chicken sandwich with bacon and cheese and a basket of boneless chicken wings( really frozen chicken bites about size of small ping pong balls). My husband was appalled after the bartender described them as crispy white meat chicken fingers that were delicious . He usually gets wings with bones but didn’t want the mess. Last night he ordered 12 wings, he only got flats not a mixture and not crispy. My sandwich was billed at $12.50( $1 over menu price) and chicken bites for 12 were $17 plus one tonic water… total of $31 plus tip. No fries or side… bartender was nice but so loud.. felt like sitting there I was intruding on personal conversations she was having with two customers. Less than 10 customers at 12:30 on a Sunday…. It wasn’t like it was Mother’s Day or a beautiful beach day.
Last time I had a cheeseburger for $14 smaller than a McDonalds quarter pounder and didn’t have lettuce or tomato but charged extra for a little onion… quality had gone way down. Wasn’t cooked as to order of medium rare and was very dry. The $10 specialty espresso milkshake was the biggest joke. …. no longer will stop in on Sunday’s for a bite and watch sports. Guess everything has changed … too bad.

Ya Know I have been coming here for well over a decade to catch a bite when I’m at work, it’s turned into a crapshoot. Prices have gone up from 8.50 for a burger to 12.50 with no sides included. Service keeps changing hands and it’s hard to feel at home like the past. Jack, get over it, bring back specials, lower your prices and bring back your locals. The food is great but not that great, many fish in the sea around old saybrook. I will keep coming back but am looking for better options down the street. Sad greed takes precedence over customer service

Boston burger was excellent, but a $15 burger ought include fries. 10 draft beers, Back East Double Scoop was nice, no bud lite in site (as it should be).

Insanely overpriced! One small generic burger cost $14 and doesn't come with fries. A burger and fries costs $21. That is a ridiculous price for what always a mediocre burger. I'm a terrible cook and I make better burgers at home for less than half the price.
Amazing food, pleasantly surprised!Everyone in my party enjoyed their meal out of a party of 8. Only complaint would be the benches looked a little worn.Can't wait to come back!

Severing sizes are a bit small for the prices but everything was great, our waitress was so friendly and funny. Would absolutely recommend this place.
