No, don't hold a family gathering there because they will lost it or move your party else. When you call a week ahead of your date. And ask to be on their desk. They dont care about people requst on things, they won't call you to inform you that they move your party to parking lot area. Thank you Nikos I will no longer come to your place for any gatherings again. I will be giving someone else my money. We are also going there to see Bella Cain play, so we will be seeing them someone else.

The burgers are amazing! So are the fries! The servers are super nice and on top of their work! I recommend the bacon burger and then Niko burger. Also, the inside of the restaurant is so homey.

Great food and amazing service. Prices have increased a bit over the last couple years, but the money seems to be going right back into the place. Summers on the outside deck are always a good time with live music... Update: prices are definitely still going up. Be prepared to pay over $80 for a meal for two.

Just discovered this place a few months ago and have met friends here twice for weekday lunch. Food is good, served warm. I had the Italian beef and fries while my friends had a salad and a burger - everyone enjoyed their meal with plenty to take home. Typical bar food, but good quality and quick to arrive. Indoor and outdoor seating as weather permits. The restroom was clean.

Parking: Plenty of parking in front of the building.

I'm so glad I find this little gem. It has 5 different seating areas. I was looking for an outdoor patio and this was great. Thank you! My waitress was great and the food was good and reasonably priced.
