My nephew suggested this place for his birthday meal…none of us had been here before so had no idea what to expect. We were not disappointed!!! The food was delicious and the service was spectacular! They have other things on the menu besides burgers…but on your first trip, you must try a smash bigger. There are many options! The tater tots were crispy and the steak fries appetizer was delicious!!! We will definitely return!!!

I really wanted to love this place with elementary school kids. There aren’t enough lower tables or a quiet enough atmosphere to call this “family friendly.” We witnessed two younger kids fall off of the bar stool chairs accidentally. The TVs were also blaring. I thought I was at a college bar. The food is decent but for the price I’m not sure.

I take my 80 year old mother here because she likes the food. It’s a sports bar but it’s a family sports bar. It definitely feels that way.
Great food, great service, and a nice environment. Love the place!

Pro Tip: be patient when being seated the workers wear a lot of hats here
