The menu is simple, featuring classic bar fare, with a focus on pizza, wings, and jalapeno poppers. The Vicki's supreme pizza is especially praised for being fantastic and perfect for any thin crust lover. The wings, including bone-in buffalo wings, and jalapeno poppers are also highly recommended.
