We stumbled across this on our way to Whihala Beach. The food was AMAZING. The staff were so personable and ambiance has a fun “Cheers” vibe. We’ve been back several times since and it’s always a good time.

Martina, the owner, takes a lot of pride in her business. The service is top notch and the pizzas we ordered, both stuffed and thin crust, are the best we've had. The Italian sausage is made on site and is incredible. The atmosphere is fun; quite like a classic pub.

Hello My Foodies. I was on my adventures again in Indiana. I stopped by this place with my family. I always passed by this place but never stopped in until I finally did! The people who worked there were super nice. We were the only ones in there at the time so we got great service ofcourse. The food was good. Those appetizers were so good tho. It was some kind of pizza bread. Never had that before, and it was pretty darn good. The burger was good as well. I recommend checking this place out. It is small but there is parking on the side.

We had a family of 8 after a local hockey game to dine in. Martina was our server, and is also the owner. We sat in the back room as we had two teens with us.We ordered pizza chips for an appetizer and loved it- seasoned just right with marinara sauce to dip.The fried calamari came with fresh lemon and was crisp and lightly battered- side of cocktail sauce to dip away!We asked what was the owner's favorite on the menu, she said pizza, Italian beef, and chicken. We took Martina's advice and ordered one of each.So, we ordered a pizza with sausage and garlic. Believe me when I say, it came to the table piping hot and smelled wonderful. Thin crisp crust and fresh toppings sealed the deal.We split an 8 piece of the fried Chicken family style. It included 2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 wings and 2 drumsticks. They fried it in clean oil, the left the skin beautifully colored and crispy. No oil flavor just tender chicken. (Martina runs a special with a pizza/chicken combo...fyi)The Italian beef was on a turano roll, topped with onions, peppers and fresh mozzarella to order dipped or on the side. The dip was amazing and was not salty at all! The fries were crisp and a large portion!We also ordered Shrimp Scampi ?, which was buttery and delicious. It was accompanied by garlic bread that was wonderful.We ordered a Cheeseburger with pepperjack cheese and bacon, it was cooked as ordered, medium well and the onion rings were hot and excellent in ranch dressing.All in all a nice place to sit down and eat a hot, family style, dinner..less than $150 with all food and drink items. Martina was wonderful.We will make this a regular spot. Thank you for great experience! ?

Martina has an amazing personality, and you can tell she really loves what she’s doing!!!! As far as the food goes, WOW definitely beyond expectations. Definitely get the pizza chips to start! Went in with the family ordered a bit of everything, from top notch beef sandwich, a pizza ( literally eating a leftover piece now) and the chicken omg the chicken !!!! Prices were absolutely fair….. get in here and check this place out!!!
