“one of my partner & i’s favorite local spots. we celebrated our 6 year anniversary there this past friday and our experience was incredible as always. started with appetizers: miso soup for me, spicy crab salad for him. then ordered(from left to right): the don tuan, salmon pesto, & happy feet roll. finished off dinner with the chocolate tsunami which is one of our favorite deserts ever!!

now for our request…we have a very special drink that’s only made here by their genius behind the bar, maddie, and as much as i’d love to gatekeep it, it is SO incredible that i hope others can try it out and push for it to become a permanent drink on the menu. it’s a CHANTILLY CAKE MARTINI ??? & yes it is as incredible as it sounds. tsunami please add this to the permanent menu so it can continue to be our special drink we get each time we visit!“

There are pool tables but no one was there using them when we were there. That drive through sure was busy though! Oh, and don't mess with the raccoons living out of the dumpster out back---they are favored regulars!“

“Had a casual Friday lunch. I chose the brisket cheesesteak and my wife and I sampled the three meat plate. We had brussel sprouts, potatoes, and tomato bacon salad. There wasn’t a bad item on the plate. Brisket was star, esp on the cheesesteak. The chicken was a close second, not exactly sure how they did this, because chicken is often chicken. The sprouts appeared to be pan fried with bacon, and then maybe charred, really great. The potatoes had the home style flavor, extremely good. The tomato-bacon salad was great and I mean kept you wanting more. Beverages I had the old fashioned and it was delicious. The service was great, not hovering, but very attentive. All of this for under $50. I’d highly recommend this, not your typical restaurant atmosphere either, which was awesome!!!“
