I swear I spend just as much money here on wraps as my daughters do on shoes.

Great food as always!!! Always greated with a smile when you arrive and the Thank you have a good night feels sincere. Great place for a meal, a drink, or both!!

My partner and I went to meet some friends to watch the Bears game tonight. We sat and were greeted by a very nice server and also greeted a second time by the manager who offered us a free brat/hot dog he was cooking up for patrons out back! We were checked on multiple times and everyone was super friendly. After the game, they even raffled off a 65’ TV. I would highly recommend to anyone needing a new spot to watch some sports, awesome place!

Food was good, but the $12 Menu Specials listed on the website are misleading; they are only available during lunch time, but that is not specified anywhere in the website.

This is a nice neighborhood place with good food and great service. We will return. The wraps are good. The corned beef was a little on the chewy side but it was still ok.

Stopped in with the family to have dinner and play Bingo. Orders ranged from appetizers, to shrimp dinner, to steak special.

Everything was terribly overcooked, shrimp were so bad it was hard to find the shrimp inside the overcooked breading. Potato skins were hard and cold, baked potato was not finished and was hard and difficult to cut.

I like to take family to different places for fun, this will not be one of them in the future.

We were on the patio. No lights came on at night. No music. We just had a few appetizers.. typical bar food, though the potato skins were super bland. And I thought it was pricey considering it was just appetizers and no drinks!!

Took 20 minutes for a waiter to attend us. Other people were walking out because they were not getting helped.

The wife and my first time here, but definitely not our last.
I got the bone in wings well done to start.
Wings were cooked perfect, very flavorful.
Next I went with the salad with raspberry vinnageret dressing. Dressing was perfect, and I like the fact that they even carry that dressing, everybody doesn't carry it. Then I went with the all you can eat cod fish fry. The cod was piping hot and crunchy!
The slaw was good, and I went with the Greek potatoes, they were very tasty. I had 2 plates of fish, and two orders of slaw. The wife went with a salad to start, she was happy that they even carried French dressing, because a lot of places these days just don't carry it. She went with a full slab of ribs with a baked potato. We usually go to village tavern when we want ribs, but she was feeling adventurous. She loved them and said they are better than village tavern.This will be our new rib spot. Can't wait to go back and try some of the other food. They have a nice variety of food and appetizers. Last but not least was our great waitress Christine, I probably spelt it wrong. We never had to ask for a water or drink refill, she was Johnny on the spot.She asked me if I wanted refills on my food before I got to my last piece of fish. By the time I finished my last piece of fish, the fresh one was already arriving. Sometimes the waitress waits until you are completely done before asking you, then you sit and wait while your potatoes get cold. She was friendly and funny.I usually tip 20% if service is good, I felt the need to give her a bit more. We eat out a lot, and I wish every waitress was as good as her. I read some reviews about this place being pricey. We found it to be comparable to other places we eat at. You get what you pay for! Come check out this place, you won't be disappointed! If I had to find one negative thing, it would be that they served somebody a beer in a Sox glass instead of a Cubs one! 😆

Good food and good atmosphere. Our server was very courteous as well. She was definitely overwhelmed due to short staff. But overall, We will definitely come back. Cheers
