We had my daughter’s bridal shower here for 35 people. They were wonderful. The service outstanding. One waitress worked our room & was great. No waits on drinks or service. . Food is top notch. Highly recommend.

Love this place - and sitting at the bar. Al is a great guy and bartender. Food is really good - like the live music and the clientele who all seem friendly. Avocado and shrimp toast appetizer is the best.Parking: Huge overflow lot in the back.

I like their seasonal cocktails and menu! However my waitress forgot about us outside. I asked her to bring me a glass for my beer multiple times and she finally sent someone else out to me once my food came. She also never came back to check on us once we got our food.

The food is consistently wonderful. The staff is either great or good. The music is such a nice atmosphere. It can be loud if you sit near the live music.

I love this place. I have never been disappointed with the food, service, or the atmosphere. Everyone that I encountered who worked there was very friendly. They so had live music.

The server rolled her eyes at me when I had to read the taps beer for him since he didn't bring her glasses. We ordered the Franklin Burger medium. It came out dripping blood. I show the server and she took it back and had the same burger cooked until it was dry and charred. The server had a terrible attitude. I do have to say, the kids tenders with fresh apple slices was very good. Atmosphere is nice and it's clean. Work on the service since it's a customer service industry...

Really good local restaurant. Corned beef came highly recommended. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. Really good menu with many options. We decided on the pot roast sliders with fresh cut fries. They were really good. The fresh cut fries were really good. We also had the chicken soup for an appetizer, but I would pass next time. It was good, but mostly broth for $5. I didn't think it was worth it. The server was slow, and kept forgetting things, and would disappear for extended periods. That was the only lacking thing in an otherwise pleasant experience. Will definitely go back to try other items. I definitely recommend you give it a try. Pricing is in line with other similar places, average entre is $20-$30.

Usually good but was kinda bad. Out of a lot of menu items. The fries were well overdone.Pot roast I'd usually fork tender that day not so much.

Service is abysmal. We were seated, given dinnerware and water. Completely ignored for an eternity. I went to the two hosts to ask if we could get a server before midnight. They stared at me like deer in headlights. More time passes and one of the hosts got someone. Hopefully they won’t mess up our order. Food is good, but if you like being ignored and treated like lepers, then this place is for you!ADDENDUM: The owner apologized and made amends that were appreciated.

We decided to give this place a try. It was nicely decorated and clean, staff seemed friendly enough, the night we went it was extremely crowded, I felt bad for the wait staff because they had people sitting at the tables by the bar and one group had alot of people standing around them that the wait staff had a hard time getting around and those people didn't seem to care that they were in the way. Nor did they make any effort to move out of the way. The drinks were good, very strong but still good. The cheese curds and soup were tasty, I didn't care too much for the brisket mac n cheese. The Flatbread was delicious. The atmosphere was lively. Very loud in there, so it was hard to hear your own conversation. Wasn't a big fan of having to share our table with another group of people, but it seemed that was the only way we were going to get a table. I'm not sure if this will be a place we continue to visit, but maybe another time when it's not so lively, we will give it another try.
