Wouldn’t serve us because we are black. They tried to mask it as us “being too drunk”, but we had just come out for the evening. Makes sense for the area though.

Really friendly staff! Everyone was super nice and sociable. The food and drinks were also fantastic. Probably one of my new go-to places with my buddies as we all very much enjoyed the drinks and food. And Shrek was playing when we went, so that's automatically a win.

Excellent customer service and the food is TOP-NOTCH. I had the special for dinner last week which was the Jerk Chicken sandwich. My husband had the philly sandwich with sweet potatoes and green beans, and for our appetizers, we had the vegetable egg rolls. Wow! I can't wait to go back.

I got some food here but my review will be mostly based on the service, atmosphere, and vibe.We came in here just looking for a quick bite on a Sunday night - we didn't really expect to find this place and were very pleasantly surprised. Quiet but upbeat and eclectic atmosphere - we loved the decor and the music was very nice, wasn't too loud. There was special Halloween decor where we took some great pictures. Very impressed with their DJ equipment as well - they're actually spinning records here.I asked for a very customized food order and they were happy to accommodate. The bartending staff was very friendly and kind. Food came out fast and it was good; nothing spectacular but yummy with the sauces they provided. Great drink selection (like 5 pages worth).Also loved that they had books here and Dragon Ball Z playing on one of the TVs - overall highly serendipitous experience and would recommend for anyone looking for a reliably chill spot.Parking: Looked like about 24 spots in the free parking lot. Parking was not a problem for us on Sunday.
